Industrial Automation and IoT using Soft-PLC

About this course

This course is completely designed on the Codesys platform using Soft-PLC. Throughout this self-paced online course, participants will be trained on the basics of ladder logic programming, Visualization of a Human-Machine Interface for controlling the program parameters, and Motion programming with a basic linear axis motion to rotary of single-axis motion. This course also explains the communication between the edge tier & platform tier using a data aggregator software, an interface that is created between the Soft-PLC and the data aggregator using OPC-UA Server and Client plug-in.

By the end of the course, you will be ready for programming a codesys platform-based hardware with HMI features, programming motion controller with Open PLC blocks, knowledge of how OPC-UA Server-Client works and how to communicate the data of a Soft-PLC on Codesys Driver.

What will you gain ?

1. Ladder Logic Programming
3. Basics of Motion Programming
2. Designing HMI and animation
4. Connectivity of OPC-UA Server and Client

Course Content

Day 1

Basics of codesys software and the basic instructions used in the ladder logic programming.
Day 2
Designing a front-end UI for the operator to operate the parameters/tags of the program in the HMI.
Day 3
Overview of function block programming, explaining how the single-axis linear system and the single-axis rotary index system with multiple stations.
Day 4
Extracting the data out of the PLC to control and monitor the application remotely within the network.
