Target Audiences

Beginner level PLC programmers interested in self learning.

The intent is to provide instructions to set up a PLC training station to support self-learning of PLCs and to practice PLC programming. When you are learning to program the PLC, you will want to test the logic you are writing and the most hands-on way to do that is with real world I/O connected to real world devices. But the price of industrial hardware is too high for someone who is teaching themselves. Using your PC, CODESYS Software and an Arduino Uno Compatible board; this can be done at a much lower cost. CODESYS software running on your PC can operate as a PLC CPU. The Arduino Uno Compatible board can connect to inputs and outputs. This coarse will show you how to install and setup the software and how to connect components that make up the I/O with a solderless breadboard. Also, you get to learn about CODESYS and Arduino along the way.

Videos take you through the process step by step.

Included is a beginner level lesson and exercises to get started programming with Ladder Logic Diagram programming language.

Parts required are: Arduino Uno Compatible Microcontroller Board, Solderless Breadboard, 5 Resistors 10 Kilo-ohm, 5 Resistors 220 ohm, 5 LEDs, 5 Momentary Push Buttons,  a 10 Kilo-ohm Potentiometer and some wire jumpers to connect it all together.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
