Description
Hi there!Welcome to PLC Ladder Programming with TIA Portal & Hands-On Projects!
This course is designed to take you from an absolute beginner to an automation professional, combining clear theory with hands-on industrial simulations. No prior knowledge is required — everything is explained step by step.
In this course you will:
Understand what a PLC is, how sensors and actuators interact with it, and how to properly use variable types.
Master ladder logic, the most widely used language for PLC programming.
Practice using normally open, closed contacts and assignment instructions, and learn how to build complex logic structures.
Master set/reset coils, SR/RS flip-flops, and edge detection instructions for precise signal control.
Work with TP, TON, TOF, and TONR timers to generate pulses, delays and accumulate time for process control.
Program CTU, CTD, and CTUD counters to handle counting tasks in automation systems.
Program a conveyor line using sequential logic, sensors, and counters to sort boxes by weight.
Work with analog signals, build a proportional controller, and design an HMI for water tank level monitoring and control.
Have a final assignment where you program a manipulator-based assembly process using sequential logic, timers, counters, and analog inputs.
I hope you enjoy the course!
Who this course is for:
- Beginners with no PLC or automation experience
- Engineering students (Automation, Electrical, Mechatronics, Industrial, etc.)
- Technicians or professionals transitioning into automation
- Anyone interested in hands-on PLC projects with Factory I/O
