In this course, students will learn the basics of PLC programming. They will develop key skills in programming and troubleshooting simple HMI and PLC systems. The course will focus on understanding programming methods like state machines, function blocks, and ladder logic. Students will also get hands-on experience with HMI design, basic input/output principles, different types of registers, and Modbus communication using RS232. By the end of the course, students will have a good grasp of PLC and HMI programming and be able to solve coding, register, and communication issues. With participation, each student will receive their own PLC and HMI for practice and future use. At the end of this course each student will receive a certificate of completion.
