NEW!! IG-PLC – Programmable Logic Controller Training/Troubleshooting Course

IG-PLC Course


An introductory/intermediate training course, with an emphasis on the background and application of programmable logic controller environments and the varying aspects of use in industrial automation. This course is a general application course without focusing on one particular programming language, ideal for those who want to understand the connectivity (and directivity) of programmable controllers.

This course focuses on the following subjects:

  1. Industrial automation with reliability and power for complex projects.
  2. Learning content that aligns with ANY industrial automation curriculum.
  3. Programming that is easy, approachable, and efficient.
  4. Immediate use of practical applications with ease-of-use, flexibility, and a vast library of software.
  5. Programming Languages to include:
    1. Ladder Diagram (LD)
    2. Function Block Diagram (FBD)
    3. Sequential Function Chart (SFC)
    4. Structured Text (ST)
    5. Instruction List (IL)

This is the rare course where the students get to keep all test kits necessary to be successful and continue their learning on the ever-expanding subject. Over 30 (thirty) hands-on labs related to application of electrical theory, programmable logic theory, sensors, application, and troubleshooting.

Course fee includes:

  • Arduino Smart Home Sensor Kit
  • KeyeStudio 47-in-1 Sensor Kit
  • Arduino Starter Kit
  • Arduino PLC Starter Kit
  • iGround-provided Electrical Fundamentals Resource Lab Kit
  • Board construction tools and meters
  • Professional, Detailed Manual and other course materials.
