About this course

PLC-based automation connects process logic with equipment, interfaces and operational responsibilities. This course introduces industrial-control concepts for learners examining how the parts of an automation system fit together.

Binary logic, state machines and sequencing provide the foundation. Processors, input/output, power and environmental protection then connect that logic with the physical controller environment.

Consider the controller within the wider operation

Redundancy, diagnostics and lifecycle maintenance are discussed alongside controller networks. SCADA, MES and ERP introduce different levels of information and coordination around the process.

Human-machine interfaces, alarms and industrial security extend the material to the people and systems interacting with the controller. Emerging control concepts broaden the overview.

The course focuses on concepts and architecture. Work on industrial equipment requires the training, procedures and authorization appropriate to the installation.

Use PLR for industrial-automation education

With PLR, you can modify, rebrand and resell the training. You could tailor it for an introductory automation offer or use it alongside your own equipment-specific instruction. Examples from your audience’s industry can help connect the system concepts with familiar processes.
