Course Overview
Continues to explore the power of the PLC by expanding on software (e.g. complex data types, math and data manipulation routines, logical comparison instructions, and programming a PanelView, Human Machine Interface touchscreen panel) and hardware (e.g. analog input signals from sensors and analog output signals to actuators - VFD speed reference and troubleshooting on a fault simulator) and communication (e.g. Industrial Ethernet: Ethernet and subnet addressing and producing and consuming tags over Ethernet).
