Section 1
This section covers the PLC Fundamentals:

• Completely understand PLC operation and its interaction with the outside world
• Apply PLCs to improve manufacturing, reduce costs, and cut troubleshooting time
• Learn how ASCII and BCD codes are used in PLC systems
• Learn the relationship between a relay system and a PLC-based system using ladder diagrams
• Configure output rungs using the three basic logic operations (AND, OR, NOT)

Includes three modules:

• Introduction to Programmable Controllers (27:55 min),
• Number Systems and Codes - their uses and applications in PLCs (25:15 min), and
• Logic Functions and How They Relate to PLC Systems (20:56 min)
  

Section 2
This section covers PLC Operation:

• Choose the correct power supply for your PLC system and avoid intermittent power problems
• Master I/O mapping and chassis configuration and avoid problems during system implementation
• Configure memory data tables correctly
• Learn all you need about analog control—I/O devices, signals, representation, handling, and interfacing
• Learn to properly install analog transducer/transmitters and avoid intermittent count jump problems

Includes three modules:

• General CPU Operations, Memory System, and PLC I/O Addressing (47:20 min),
• Discrete Input/Output Systems (45:15 min), and
• Analog Input/Output Systems (49:32 min)
  

Section 3
This section covers PLC Programming:

• Change hardwired logic to PLC logic
• Eliminate electromechanical reverse flow in a PLC ladder logic implementation
• Solve the mystery of programming a normally closed input as a normally open reference in a PLC and maintain a fail-safe operation
• Use flow control instructions to solve scan time problems
• Avoid troubleshooting nightmares—learn how to use subroutines to implement structured programming and pinpoint problems quickly
• Convert electromechanical master control relays into PLC MCR circuits and avoid costly programming and troubleshooting problems

Includes three modules:

• PLC Instructions and Control Software Programming - Part 1 (49:59 min),
• PLC Instructions and Control Software Programming - Part 2 (42:33 min), and
• PLC Instructions and Control Software Programming - Part 3 (43:40 min)

Section 4
This section covers PLC Implementation:

• Modernize your system—follow our four-step process to ensure a trouble-free implementation
• Create meaningful documentation—learn to flowchart your system correctly
• Safeguard your PLC-based system—know which portions to leave hardwired for safety reasons
• Create effective output sequences and avoid confusion and wasted time during program coding

Includes one module:

• PLC Control System Implementation and Programming (51:20 min)
