The Complete PLC Programming Course - 10 Day PLC Programmer

Explore how a relay operates as an automated switch, with coils, contacts, and a 24-volt dc coil, and see PLC-driven control via a push button.

Explore basic ladder symbols and how ladder diagrams convey control logic, including push buttons (normally open and normally closed), indicators, and relay contacts for simple motor control.

Learn the basics of ladder diagrams, including components, push buttons, relays, normally open and closed contacts, and how to wire dc and ac circuits to drive lights and RSLogix.

Set up ses links and emulator drivers, create your first rslogix microlight program, explore software navigation, and build ladder symbols for inputs and outputs in a simulated plc environment.

Implement a forward/reversing conveyor control in a PLC with separate forward and reverse coils and interlocks to prevent overlap, including input wiring, start-stop logic, and testing.

Learn and gate circuits, ic chips, and ladder logic in plc programming, comparing hardware and gate behavior with c# examples, and applying an emergency stop and motor control project.

Explore or gates with an ic chip, study the truth table, implement or logic in C#, and extend a ladder logic project with a second motor selector switch.

Learn not gates with ic chips—single input, single output, and truth tables—and translate ladder logic to ic logic for motor control, including emergency stop and selector switch scenarios.

Learn normally open and normally closed circuits and how field devices map to PLC contacts. Apply ladder logic concepts through a three-part project using start, stop, and emergency stop inputs.

Learn basic and advanced seal-in circuits using normally open and normally closed contacts to latch a motor with a start button and stop it with a momentary stop, in Rslogix.

Practice building a three-part roll up door system using up and down buttons, limit switches, interlocks, a sealant circuit, and a stop button, testing step by step.

Explore section 3.1 timer ladder symbols, including delay on and delay off timers, normally open/closed symbols, and a practical ladder project that latches a relay and flashes a green light.

learn to configure the teian timer in RSLogix Micro, including enable, timing, and done bits, set presets and time base (seconds or milliseconds), and see how timing behavior unfolds.

Learn to build a flashing light timer project in Rslogix micro using ladder logic, start/stop inputs, latching circuits, and two second on/off delays; set up, download, test, and refine.

Explore counter elements in PLC programming, including count up and count down, preset, accumulation value, reset value, and the done bit, and how CTU and CTD use counter register C51.

Start with a push button to trigger a sealant circuit that runs a belt conveyor, count eight boxes with a proximity sensor, then stop and reset for the next cycle.

Explore the boolean data type and the decimal and binary numbering systems, learn how two's complement interprets ones and zeros, and convert between binary and decimal in PLCs.

Understand integer and floating point data types in a plc project, including 16‑bit signed and unsigned ranges and decimals. See how move and timer presets convert decimals to timing values.

Explore math instructions in section 6-1, learning to use add, subtract, multiply, and divide blocks with registers and constants. Then master integer and floating point handling and safeguards against divide-by-zero.

Explore compare instructions, including greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, less than or equal to, and equal, plus the limit block for range checks.

Learn to convert a floating point setpoint into a timer preset in milliseconds, display timer accumulation in seconds, and drive a sequencer through steps one to five with coils.

Master PLC scan cycles by comparing Allen-Bradley and Omron approaches, learning left-to-right and top-to-bottom evaluation, rung-by-rung processing, and troubleshooting techniques.

Learn how latch and unlatch boolean outputs work, use one shot bits (ONS, OSR, OSF) for single-scan actions, and apply alarms with sealant concepts across scan cycles.

Explore advanced decimal logic with the mov and clear instructions, moving values between constants, registers, and floating point to integer conversions, including rounding behavior and practical examples.

Build a sequencing project by replacing rungs with a counter and then with a sequencer block, using mask, destination, length, and position to cycle through steps one to five.
