There are plenty of courses that will teach you the basics of using and programming PLCs. This course will show you a structured technique that will make your programs robust, readable, and easily maintained by the technicians who will be supporting them. No more support calls at 3:00 am.

Since the PLC’s inception to replace Relay Logic Panels and to allow Electricians and Technicians to program them with a familiar interface, Ladder Diagram has been the de facto in the U.S.A. PLCs using sequential logic allow the manufacture of just about any product you purchase in the supermarket.

Using this technique. You will learn to design machine sequence solutions by using a Grafcet/SFC and and converting it to Ladder Diagram. Allowing your Electricians and Technicians to troubleshoot with a graphical language that they are familiar with.

There are multiple ways to implement finite state machines in Programmable Logic Controllers. I will cover two of the techniques that I have been teaching beginning PLC Programmers for several years. One I call the Set/Reset Method and the other I call the PetriNet Method. There are pros and cons to each. Some plants will not allow the use of the Set/Reset Method due to safety concerns. But done correctly it is probably the most popular method used. The advantage of the PetriNet method is that it is easy to convert very complicated Grafcets or SFCs with no or minimal initial mistakes. Be sure to look at Section 9. Added a new method I call STL (Step Ladder Method). This is current preferred method I am teaching students in person now.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
