What you'll learn
Understand how PLC digital inputs and outputs work in real industrial control systems
Design and test basic PLC I/O logic using push buttons, sensors, and output devices
Build AND, OR, and NOT logic used in real-world automation and safety circuits
Create latching circuits to maintain machine operation without continuous input
Practice PLC programming using a realistic virtual lab that mirrors factory behavior
Requirements
No prior PLC programming experience is required
A computer with internet access to run the virtual lab
Basic understanding of electrical signals (ON/OFF) is helpful
Description
This Course is a hands-on, practical course designed to help you understand how real factories operate. Through 10 short, interactive labs, you will learn how control systems work in real industrial environments-by building them yourself.
• This is not a theory-heavy course.
• There are no long lectures,
• no abstract explanations, and
• no unnecessary mathematics. Instead,
• you will program real control logic,
• design safety systems, and
• coordinate automated operations using a simulator that mirrors real industrial behavior.
By the end of this course, you will understand how programmable logic controllers (PLCs) control machines, processes, and production lines. You will begin thinking like an automation engineer.
What You Will Learn
Foundations of Automation (Labs 1-4)
You will start with the absolute basics
• Push buttons and output devices
• How PLC inputs trigger outputs
• AND logic for multiple conditions
• OR logic for redundancy
• NOT logic for fail-safe operation
Each lab builds directly on the previous one, helping you understand how simple logic becomes reliable industrial control.
Practical Automation Systems (Labs 5-8)
You will move into real-world automation patterns
• Latching circuits used in almost every factory
• Sensor-based automatic control
• Multi-output control using selector switches
• Safety interlocks that protect operators and equipment
These are the same logic patterns used in actual industrial plants.
Production Coordination (Labs 9-10)
You will combine everything you have learned
• Design a conveyor system using sensors
• Coordinate multiple stations in a production line
• Control sequencing and handoff between processes
By the final lab, you will be designing complete automation systems, not just individual logic elements.
How This Course Works
Each lab follows a simple and effective structure
• A brief explanation of the concept
• A real-world manufacturing example
• Hands-on interaction with a live simulator
• A challenge to reinforce learning
Each lab takes 2-3 minutes, providing immediate feedback and clear cause-and-effect understanding. When something works, you see it instantly.
