About This Course

This innovative course connects the world of industrial and building automation with modern AI tools. You will learn how to use artificial intelligence to accelerate and optimize PLC controller programming in Codesys and TIA Portal environments.

During the course, we will implement diverse projects in the field of industrial automation, building automation, and renewable energy (RES), using AI for code generation, algorithm optimization, and data analysis.

Tools we use:

✅ AI for programming support:

- ChatGPT (free version)
- DeepSeek
- ChatBOT Controlbyte (based on DeepSeek and available at controlbyte.pl)

✅ Programming environments:

- Codesys
- TIA Portal

✅ PLC programming languages:

- Structured Text (ST)
- Ladder Diagram (LD)

Projects completed during the course:

During the course, you will create practical projects that reflect real-world applications in industry and construction:

⚙️ Industrial automation

✔ Sequence of three actuators (Factory IO / visualization) – controlling package pushing in sequence

✔ Pump system (water treatment, pumping station) – control and optimization of pump operation

✔ Motor with various temperature sensors (PT100/KTY/TKO)

✔ 3D Manipulator – palletizer

✔ Delta robot and G-code programming

✔ High-bay warehouse with WMS system / SQL database

✔ 3 workstations with industrial robots

🏠 Building automation and RES
