Many people have learned the basics of PLC Ladder Logic. This included uploading and downloading to the PLC. Most can make minor modifications to the rungs. They only needed to know what 'normally open' and 'normally closed' contacts were. The PLC is a tool to make troubleshooting complex machinery super simple. Many can even learn PLC troubleshooting with the above minimum prerequisites. A lack of understanding of how the PLC interacts with the real world can lead to costly damage. Damage to man or machine. Remember, an individual’s experiences and learning abilities vary.

We recommend the Industrial Electrical Video Course below. The PLC is a highly reliable device. Thus, most troubleshooting is outside the PLC itself. Instead, the PLC is a tool to troubleshoot complex machinery. The cause of problems most of the time is industrial electrical devices external to the PLC. Devices like sensors, relays, power, or other devices.

The individual may need extensive Electrical Troubleshooting Training. So, we recommend standard industrial electrical troubleshooting training as a prerequisite. Everyone needs to learn basic electrical safe work practices before working with PLCs.

We have color-coded this entire site based on Occupational titles. This is to help you decide what PLC training is most needed based on your relative occupation.
