==========================
Today we are going to talk about the basics of a PLC, the workhorse of industrial automation.
The programmable logic controller, or PLC, is a special purpose computer. It has no display, no keyboard, no printer, no hard drive, and hides in the control panel out on the factory floor, but it is still a computer.
Initially, the PLC was a replacement for panels of relays, devices that turn on and off. Making a machine run using relays as logic was time-consuming and challenging, and making a change in the logic or the operation of the machine was almost as complicated as starting over.

I live in Kentucky, there is a Toyota manufacturing Plant on the outskirts of Georgetown. Toyota built the industrial maintenance school for kctcs community college in the region. Today I learned that every one minute the main manufacturing line shuts down Toyota loses 125,000$. If you can be the technician who fixes the problem in 5 minutes oppose to 10, your a half million dollar man(or woman).
Do you have a news article? Link? Would love to read more on this. Thanks
Lol my aunt and uncle live over there, Ive heard the same. I’m in Shelbyville. I’m an HVAC tech.
1,500 dollars a minute if bodyweld finish line goes down
2,500 a minute if Paint finish line goes down
15,000 dollars a minute if Finish Line 1 or 2 goes down.

I live in Kentucky as well, we can connect sometime
This was well written for a newbie, thank you!

Thank you very much! I will happily share your topic suggestion with our course developers. Thank you again for sharing, and happy learning!
What would be the most cost effective way for someone to start learning PLC programming? I understand the industry level PLC systems are rather expensive, would some sort of development board work for beginners? Great job by the way!
You don't need any hardware to start learning PLC programming. You can use PLC simulators such as PLCSIM which comes with Siemens STEP7 software.
You can also use TwinCAT from Beckhoff for free without any hardware. Someone on youtube has a video series guiding your through the software.
Me also i wants to learn plc programming tell me the cost effective please
If you're still in the market for one of these devices, Arduino has recently released an arduino PLC system. Like their other systems it is relatifely cheap and could be useful for learning
Very helpful channel, hope u have a great day.
Thank you! You too!
These videos are perfect for beginners like myself.
Thanks
Thank you very much! We're happy to hear that.
Thanks for sharing good presentation.......
You are very welcome, Alauddin! Thanks for your support.
When i was in undergrad, i really dont like plc bcoz it was hard but now i love to watch plc videos and tutorials..haha
That is great, Ahmad! Happy learning!
Same for me
Ahmad Izzuddin yes I agree. The time-compressed nature of college makes learning certain courses unbearable. However afterwards, when the time compression factor is out of the equation, we somehow pickup interest.

Good info
Thank you!
Could you please recommend any reliable public source or Scopus paper with the classification of different controllers? I am confused with semantic and there is no source that explains things better.
PS Extra stupid questions:
1. how is a 3-stage controller for controlling fan-speed called? Fuzzy logic controller?
2. is on/off control fuzzy controller?
3. Is a 3-stage room thermostat that defines the speed of the air conditioner fan a relay panel with fuzzy logic? or is it a tiny PLC with fuzzy logic? or is it a discrete controller?
4. Why are the usually 3-stage? Why do people not use sparsely modulating controllers? or dimmer controller?
Fuzzy logic is essentially a method for calculating controller outputs from controller inputs. PID does the same bit in a different way. 3-stage fan control can easily be accomplished with fuzzy logic. 3-stage control for ventilation is common but is somewhat misunderstood. 3-Stage control usually means the controller controls three fans: 1 fixed-speed gan and 2 variable-speed fans. This can be done with special fit-for-purpose controllers, a fuzzy logic controller either standalone or with a PLC, or just a PLC or DCS. The single-speed fan is controlled in an on/off manner, but the variable-speed fans are controlled to provide a certain airflow or maintain a certain temperature.
Nice video animation

@@realpars i have graduated in Mechatronic engineering (diploma).
Now I'm completely confused where to focus on my career. Mechatronics study both mechanical and electrical and programming but only the basics with only 20% workshop skills and 80% theory.
How much is your certification cost ? I'm from Asia.

Can basic knowledge of PLC help me in IT field? (whether its setting up the software or assisting staff engineer)
Good question.. I want to study computer science and work parallel as a plc programmer. Hope it is a helpful combination. I think it is a kind of a mixture between mechanical engineering, electric and IT. But mainly from the elictrical side... Can anyone judge this? :)
how is this different with industrial component of arduino?
Hi Jastria,
The Arduino is a collection of the modular electronic boards that you can make different nice stuff with them but I believe these stuff are not supposed to use in industry. The other difference I think is the language which you can write codes with that. Writing codes with C language need more specialty while writing your software using Ladder programming language is far easier and less time-consuming. I think the differences are not limited to these, however.
Please make video about S7 -400 how to make tag . /& Program

@thomas k. What topics would be of interest?
Power plant I work at uses the GE Mark IV & IVe. Wanna get a better grasp of it.
Mainly trouble shooting.stuff goes wrong often 😅.
Using the tools like “finder” and “Toolbox” software. Really wanna get a tutorial and training to see how to better use them.
Very interesting

@@realpars thank you so much. I also want to ask can you please make some videos on how a robotic arm works on assembly line, how it can get instructions from PLC, etc.
I just wanted to know an overview of it. Thank you
Interesting I am an electrical electronics graduate with over 18. Years industry experience.I want to specialize on industrial control and automation.can I do it online or physically has to be present at center advice please
All of our courses are online. :)
online courses will only get you so far. you need to physically do it, to learn correctly and efficiently
100% agree; I learn more in 2 weeks of hands-on training than an entire year of class; but that’s my personal learning style

Why not use a tablet as the controller with a program installed and running? Then the only reason to plug in a computer would be to upgrade program/software or to download information. I'm pretty sure a tablet has more capabilities than a plc and probably cheaper too. Regardless, you would still need to use relays or contactors.
Tablets are definitely good computing devices, but they lack the capability for connecting to process I/O efficiently and are based on operating systems not meant for 24/7 continuous operation. Tablets are popular for HMI applications, but are just now getting powerful enough to run applications like SoftPLC's. Connectivity to I/O is a major issue with tablets, since they have limited interfaces. There are many manufacturers that have very powerful PLC's for less than the price of a Surface Pro. I think the day for using less-expensive computing devices in process control is coming, but we are not there yet.
@@realpars thanks for the reply 😊
what is obsolete PLC?
An obsolete PLC is one that is no longer supported by the manufacturer (it was discontinued in 2017). For instance, the S7-200 PLC from Siemens is obsolete, although many are still installed and running in plants. If the CPU fails, a newer model will need to be installed in its place. Some spare parts may still be available, but after October 2023, Siemens will retire the entire S7-200 product line.

does your video have Russian subtitles?
Sorry, our videos only have English subtitle.
I haven't understand much about PLC and I am trying to learn about it and use it for my automation system. I have a question. If I want to control a system of 110 V what kind of PLC should I use, please?
The PLC processor simply holds the program which executes the logic. To control 110VAC devices, you will need to make sure your I/O cards that are connected to the PLC can support 110VAC. For digital outputs, you can use a relay card as well.
