Learn PLC programming to land entry level engineer roles and unlock in-demand opportunities across aerospace, pharmaceuticals, food, manufacturing, and automotive, with flexible in-house or freelance options and no degree required.
Engage in project based learning by simulating your first week as a new controls engineer, tackling tasks from programming basic controls to troubleshooting and optimizing systems, gaining practical experience.
Step into the role of a controls engineer in a chocolate factory and learn hands-on automation, from setting up conveyors and mixers to programming with sensors to optimize production.
Explore analog IO in PLCs with a tank example, where an ultrasonic sensor provides continuous level data to regulate water valves by a setpoint, enabling precise control and flexible automation.
Learn ladder logic as your entry point to programmable logic controller programming, a graphical language of contacts and coils that represents electrical relay circuits, easy to understand and troubleshoot.
Declare and initialize the start button variable as a boolean, map it to a normally open input, and implement ladder logic to activate the mixer motor in a PLC simulation.
Learn the first rung of PLC logic: pressing the start button energizes the mixer motor via the output coil, with simulation and plans to hold the motor after release.
Automate the mixer with a timer on delay in the PLC network. Use a mixer timer with a setpoint and Q output to run the motor until it completes.
Latch PLC signals to keep a mixer motor on after pressing start, then use a normally closed stop button to break the latch and stop the motor.
Use the up counter function block with a built-in reset and PV upper limit to count items (CV) until it reaches PV, yielding a Q output.
Apply a basic state machine to a chocolate production line, from an empty tray entering the mold section to sprinkling on the chocolate and moving to the cooling line.
Build a simple state machine for a chocolate conveyor that uses sensor-driven states ten, twenty, and thirty to trigger mold and sprinkle outputs, with separate state and output logic.
