Advance to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)

In this course, you will build on what you have learned in “Introduction to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)” course to design and test more complex automation systems. You will learn to use Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) to create more complex ladder diagram programs. The detailed operation of timer, counter and sequencer instructions in PLC logic will be studied.
