What you will learn

Master a basic PLC hardware configuration in a typical industrial system using Schneider Electric Zelio Logic

Master ZelioSoft software environment that Schneider Electric Zelio Logic uses in industrial automation

Master the basic programming elements that FBD language uses in industrial automation

Master the basic elements that a PLC uses for digital control, including both discrete and analogue signals.

Understand and identify the elementary elements of debugging and control for error prevention and problem solving.

Understand the basic 5S methodology and how to implement their own methodology in PLC programming for industrial automation.

Start programming in FBD language right away!!!!

Why take this course?

What you are going to learn within the next hours of my course, which I really hope that you will enjoy, is how to program your first PLC, by examining step by step the basic parts that comprise a modern Programmable Logic Controller, using Schneider Electric Zelio Logic.

To be more precise, we are going to start with a small refreshing of basic knowledge on the “heart” of a PLC, see what are the basic staff that a PLC is made of, and later on we will examine PLC’s mind, in order to “capture” the key elements inside PLC Ladder and mainly Function Block Diagram (FBD) programming languages standard...

Following that, we will start by analyzing one by one and step by step all the programming elements involved, from the simplest to the most complex, both analogue and digital, while at the same time we will take a detailed tour in the FBD programming environment.

As soon as we describe software's programming elements, we will begin programming our first example in FBD language, having in mind how to use most of our resources, fast & proffesionally, the EASY way!!

Finally when we finish this course above all I hope that you will be ready to start programming your first PLC in FBD language, by knowing how to implement a 5S methodology in your future PLC programming.

What i have learned from all my years of experience is, that it doesn’t matter if you are an electrician, an academic, or an IT programmer…

What really makes the difference is, having someone to show you the easiest way, on how to be clear and methodical….since after all “PLC is for everyone!!”

(This is a second version of my review) This review has its low rating due to the way in which the course is presented, not the contents themselves -of which I have only seen 4 lectures-. I give it two starts for the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the contents. Overall, I think the presentation was left as a secondary objective, and never achieved. To me, presentation is key. The course was unable to keep my interest and attention, for several reasons. 1: a script is being followed the whole time, making it come out as unnatural, and the instructor gets lost often when following it. 2: renderings for opening/closing videos, and quotes during the lessons can be improved in theming and font selection. 3: videos are unpolished (images unproperly shaped, speeches cut early at the end...). 4: lack of engagement of the instructor (nothing is being pointed at or highlighted when teaching in lesson 4).
