Welcome to "From Wire to PLC , A Bootcamp In Industrial Automation," a highly focused program that gives you the confidence to handle Electrical Projects. This course is accessible because we use simulations instead of hardware, allowing you to jump into automation without spending much on equipment.
We will start with the basics of electric concepts and components and gradually move on to more advanced topics such as motor control circuits, sensor utilization, and PLC programming in different languages like Ladder Logic, Structured Text, and Functional Block Diagrams. You will learn how to design electrical panels, select components, draw schematics, and troubleshoot effectively.
The course is named “From Wire to PLC , A Bootcamp In Industrial Automation" and ends with two real-world compilation projects that apply everything learned, including HMI design and animation, web/phone-based visualization, and meticulous project planning. By the end of the course “From Wire to PLC , A Bootcamp In Industrial Automation,” you will have a versatile skill set sought by industries worldwide, positioning you for success in various industrial automation projects, whether in large-scale manufacturing facilities or smaller machine setups.
