Course Description

"Ultimate PLC Programming Course Using Logixpro Simulator"

The only course out there which can teach you the basics of PLC programming with fun and awesome simulations

Logixpro program is an interesting and useful simulator for simulation of different procedures such as moving belt, garage opening and closing, a mixer which consists of a tank in addition to some pipes of different liquids, and many more!

This program helps in learning about ladder programming and PLC with an easy and interactive simulation method.

In this course, we will use the Logixpro simulator in which we will write the coding and simulate inside the program so that we can see the effect of our ladder diagram.

Throughout the course you will:

  • Understand PLC hardware configuration.

  • Understand the types of inputs and outputs in PLC.

  • Understand the advantages of using PLC over classic control.

  • Differentiate between PLC programming languages.

  • Learn the definition of the PLC scan cycle.

  • How to use markers in PLC.

  • How to use counters and timers.

  • Do tasks in silo, batch, I/O, and door simulators.

You can get the simulator for free inside the course, so you can practice all the given simulations in the lectures.

If you've been looking for ONE COURSE with in-depth insight into the basics of PLC programming using fun and useful simulations, take this course.
