The lessons
1)
Basic intro:
Download, go online, viewing program, making a simple program, Installing software, features of the DirectSoft software and testing program.
2)
PLC Cycle Scan's:
How the PLC's looks at the logic and decides what needs to happen next, this is important if you plan on any 'automation', this is over looked by many and they have a hard time understanding the full concept of programming, the PLC’s don’t change their mind… its always the same so once you learn how to read their mind you can tell what its going to do next.
3)
Basic intro:
Instructions, monitoring the program, shortcuts, software features
4)
Flip-Flop:
One momentary input, turning on and off a single output.... you will need this someday
5)
Recording actions with a PLC:
In this lesson we will cover on how to record and play back (in sequence) an event or series of actions (inputs) then play them back as outputs… if you are old enough you can remember the old game Simon Says, this is similar to that by randomly pushing the buttons/inputs then switching to the play back mode the PLC plays back the buttons you just pushed then the same sequence you pushed them.
6)
Drum Sequencer:
(mimic a washing machine), Learn how to use sequence programming
7)
Shift, Accumulator and Increment:
Loading accumulators and shifting
8)
Stage Programming:
This is a very good programming tool and will come in handy for many machines
9)
Program Structure/Subroutines:
Help with designing the program
10) Sample programs
