Description

In this course, you will learn from scratch how to become a PLC code programmer. This course is specifically for people who want to start their training in CODESYS PROGAMMING LANUGAGE. We are using CODESYS software for making all these tutorial videos. The videos are all high-quality video tutorials.

This course will allow anyone to learn the basics on how to program a PLC

Following is the pattern of the course:

  • You do not need to have any previous experience because all the concepts will be clearly explained from the basics.

  • We will use CoDeSys, a development environment to write our PLC programs and we will use its simulation functionality to interact with processes and applications without the actual need of a real PLC.

  • At the end of the course you will be able to write your PLC applications and software and to apply automation programming patterns to write quality code.

  • Next about 21 carefully designed lectures show you how to use CODESYS instructions properly with excellent meaningful tutorial examples

  • This knowledge will allow you to pursue different careers in the industrial automation field.

  • If you want to work as a PLC software engineer or if you want to make a career in automation, this is the course for you!

  • At the end of this course you will have learned many techniques that will allow you work better, faster and in a more efficient way.

  • After learning this course, you could use CODESYS application software in your project or industrial applications.

Who this course is for:

  • Engineering Students
  • Eagerness to learn how to program a typical PLC
