Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC’s) – Design and Installation of a PLC System

Automation in the manufacturing industry can improve production output and reduce costs. A modern, competitive workforce must be technically literate and know the ins and outs of programmable controllers. New state of the art electrical and electronic devices and equipment use PLCs to increase manufacturing flexibility, simplify processes, and improve safety. Automation also allows a better quality of life for workers while maintaining quality, efficiency, and a market for the product produced.

This interactive online course is designed to give you the ability to size and select the controllers necessary for the job at hand. While it is uncommon for engineers to build their own controller designs, it is the engineers’ responsibility to effectively communicate their design intentions.
