A basic introduction to PLC programming and hardware

Introductory PLC Programming Class

This course is intended to familiarize engineers with PLC programming and troubleshooting. It approaches PLCs from a brand-agnostic viewpoint, but allows students to learn PLC programming using software of their choice. All of the basic instructions are covered and an overview of advanced instructions is also presented. Programming is primarily in Ladder Logic, though Statement List is also used for Siemens.

Class sizes are small, allowing individual attention. Choose the material you want to concentrate on using our online checklist, and we tailor the class to your needs!
