This 17 chapter, 5 hour course is a complete introduction to the world of industrial controls and automation! We begin by talking about what is controls and automation, then cover the most common hardware used in the field, the tools required to service equipment, and the special PLC programming languages. From there we dive in to practical tutorials programming a PLC with the Arduino Opta platform, developing HMI screens and covering SCADA concepts with the Ignition software from Inductive automation, and discussing practical electrical wiring schematics and hands-on examples of wiring inputs and outputs! This course won't make you a total expert in the field but it will cover all the critical basics you need to know to get started!
