Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Certifications:
The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Certifications do not require any prerequisites, but we recommend having a working knowledge of electrical circuits and systems. Some of the courses below are eligible for a National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC3) Certification.
- Fundamentals of PLC's
- This In the Fundamental of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) course, students are introduced to the essential concepts and practical applications of PLCs in automation and industrial control systems. The course emphasizes hands-on experience, where students design and implement control strategies for various industrial processes. By the end of the course, students will have a solid foundation in PLC programming and operation, preparing them for more advanced studies or entry-level positions in automation and industrial maintenance.
- Intermediate PLC's
- In the Intermediate Programmable Logic Controllers course, students use their fundamental knowledge of PLCs to increase their understanding of PLC operations. Students will be introduced to more advanced forms of program control, using instructions such as Master Control Reset, Jump and Label, Jump to Subroutine, and move instructions. Students will design and test more complex programs using these new functions, and experience troubleshooting these programs.
- Advanced PLC's
- In the Advanced PLC 's course, students will be introduced to Studio 5000, and the more advanced programming tied to it. Students will experience multiple programming languages, including Ladder Logic, Function block, Sequential function Chart, and Structured text. Students will also learn about PID Control, analog scaling, and the fundamentals of networking.
