Programmable Logic Controllers

This badge certifies that the learner has developed a foundational understanding of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and their importance in manufacturing. The series introduces control system basics, PLC structure, sensors, actuators, and signals, along with key software, I/O addressing, and safety functions. Learners also gain awareness of advanced control topics, including closed-loop control, PID, servo systems, motion coordination, industrial networking, and Safety PLCs.
