Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a PLC and a computer?
A PLC, or Programmable Logic Controller, is a specialized type of computer designed for industrial automation applications. While similar to a general-purpose computer, PLCs are more rugged, reliable, and specifically designed to handle real-time control of industrial processes. They are often used in harsh environments and can withstand fluctuations in temperature, humidity, and vibration.
What programming languages are used with PLCs?
The most common programming language used with PLCs is Ladder Logic, which is a graphical programming language that resembles the ladder diagrams used in relay-based control systems. However, PLCs also support other programming languages, such as Function Block Diagram (FBD), Sequential Function Chart (SFC), and Structured Text (ST).
Do I need prior PLC experience to take your training program?
No prior PLC experience is necessary to enroll in our PLC training program. Our courses are designed to cater to individuals with varying levels of knowledge. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience with PLCs, our training will provide you with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed.
