From Wire to PLC, A Bootcamp In Industrial Automation

***Update 11/17/2025****** Allen Bradley Training was added******Update 11/28/2018****** Classic control simulation software tutorial is available******Update 14/11/2018***One-Line diagram interpretation section was added****Update 29/10/2018****** ****Two new sections were added "Troubleshooting for Electrical Panel" and "Web/Phone Based Visualization"****Update 11/1/2018********Exercises for almost every section were added in order to help you enforce what you have learned*******Some design problems were also included**** This Course is an intensive course that tries to cover all the concepts required to build a fully functional Electrical Automation Projects. We will utilize no hardware in this course so that you can follow up with the course with having to buy Any equipment but rather our design and verification will be based on simulations. This course will walk you through the process of designing your own projects from scratch step by step by first introducing you to the most basic components and concepts that you should be familiar with to keep up with the course and ending with two real-world compilation projects that will sum up everything you've learned.

All software used are for free and there is not need for a license to be purchased. This course will teach you many deigns skills , software , and electrical engineering concepts in a way that you can combine what you have learned to create a whole real project. A summary of what will be covered:Basic Electrical ConceptsBasic Electrical Components and how they operateTraditional motor driving control circuits Modern motor driving equipmentProtection components and how to choose themWiring and cable sizingSensors and their utilization in real projects Electrical Panel TroubleshootingSchematics drawing and designPLC programming using Ladder LogicPLC programming using Structured TextPLC programming using Functional Block Diagram PLC programming using continues flow chartAllen Bradley - RsLogix 500, RsEmulate 500 and Rslinx TrainingHuman User Interface design and AnimationTwo A to Z compilation projectsWeb/Phone based Visualization In the final project you will think like an engineer, and look for every design detail to design your electrical panel specs on paper and draw it in schematic.

Before you get into programming , you will calculate and choose wisely all you required components according to standards and your project specifications , you will draw schematics for the project using a CAD software, and then you will start programming using the most modern industrial programming languages supported by different PLC brands , then you will add the HMI and animation and start simulating what you programmed. This is not a dry course that will only explain boring concepts without you knowing where to use it , this course will give you tips on how and when to use each components in a way suitable to your project. because the final aim of this course is that you learn all the skills that will lead to you starting your business or prepare for project within your job on your own.

So who should take this course. If you are an Electrical/Electronics/Computer/Control/Mechatronics or industrial engineering Graduates/Students wanting to peak and learn the fascinating field of automation designA graduate Engineering student preparing for job in the industrial automation field and not knowing what to expect in thereAnybody willing to learn PLC programming effectively with real life examplesAnybody who knows how to program a PLC but have no idea how conduct a full electrical automation project from scratchMechanical engineers who are looking to do the electrical and automation parts of their projects on their ownWhere can you use the skill taught in this course. Any industrial manufacturing project , be it a huge factory with hundreds of robots or a small machine with coupe of sensors , will require ALL the skills you will learn in this course.
