Road Map To PLC Mastery:

Ladder Diagram Training Course

• The road map to PLC mastery starts with learning how to read electrical schematics.  Programmers need this skill to see how PLC programs interact with the hardware that are in a system.  This training course teaches electrical schematic reading and electrical components that are commonly found in PLC based systems.

PLC Hardware Basics Training Course

• The next stop of the road to PLC mastery is learning the basics of PLC hardware.  PLC hardware knowledge is needed to design PLC systems that conform to technical specifications.  This training course teaches PLC hardware that are typically used in PLC systems such as digital I/O module, analog I/O module, processor modules and power supply module.

PLC Programming Basics Training Course

• The final stop of the road to PLC mastery is learning the basics of PLC programming.  The PLC Programming Basics Training Course teaches the fundamental of PLC programming.  One of the training course's goal is to give you a solid foundation in PLC programming. Some of the programming concepts required to build a solid foundation can be hard to grasp.  This training course has several features and characteristics that make learning easier.  Programming concepts are explained with the aid of animations and demonstrations with actual PLC.  This training course is not a boring text book!
• At the end of this training course, you will have the skill to develop PLC programs that are moderately complex.

Beyond the road map to PLC mastery

• In addition to three training courses, you will also get three bonus PLC ebooks that have a total of more than 1000 pages.  The three bonus PLC ebooks supplement the PLC hardware and PLC programming concepts presented by the three training courses.  Use the ebooks to progress your understanding of PLCs.
