About This Course

This comprehensive online course is designed to introduce participants to PLC programming in the text-based ST language using the CODESYS environment. The course offers over 50 practical video lessons, programming exercises based on provided project templates, and homework assignments to reinforce learning. Participants will have the opportunity to test their programs in a PLC Simulator, and receive support from instructors through Discord chat and live meetings. The course covers a wide range of topics, including variable declaration, program flow control instructions, software organizational units, operations on strings, floating point operations, edge detection, timing instructions, and more. No certificate after that course.
