In this module, we will dive into data manipulation and process control in ladder logic programming. You will learn to handle input data using the Min and Max instructions, and implement real-time control with alarms, hysteresis, limit and scale instructions. Additionally, you will build your own custom simulator for testing and optimizing your programs.

In this module, we will introduce functions and function blocks in PLC programming, emphasizing the benefits of modularity and code reuse. You will apply these concepts in practical exercises such as converting Celsius to Fahrenheit and controlling a conveyor system. Additionally, we will cover nested function block calls to solve complex problems using a structured, reusable approach.

In this module, we will introduce Structured Text (ST) programming, focusing on syntax, capabilities, and applications in PLCs. You'll begin with assignment operations and learn how to use logical functions like NAND, NOR, and XOR to create complex logic. Through exercises, you'll gain hands-on experience with ST by implementing practical functions like Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion.

In this module, we will cover IF-ELSE statements in Structured Text, a key construct for controlling decision-making within PLC programs. You will apply this logic to practical exercises like motor control and temperature regulation, ensuring your programs can adapt to dynamic conditions and control real-world systems effectively.

In this module, we will dive into the use of the CASE statement in Structured Text programming. You’ll learn how to use this powerful construct to manage multiple conditions and simplify complex decision structures. Practical exercises will demonstrate motor control and alarm feedback systems, enabling you to manage multiple states with ease.

In this module, we will explore FOR loops in Structured Text, focusing on their application in both single-dimensional and multi-dimensional arrays. You will learn how to iterate over data structures to store, count, and manipulate information. Exercises will help you apply these skills to manage arrays and solve real-world data handling challenges.

In this module, we will focus on the use of the WHILE loop in Structured Text programming, which is ideal for scenarios requiring conditional repetition until a specified condition is met. You’ll gain the skills needed to control real-time processes effectively using this powerful looping mechanism.

In this module, we will dive deeper into the concepts of calling functions and function blocks in Structured Text. You’ll apply these principles to optimize an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS), learning how to modularize your programs for efficiency and scalability.

In this module, we will explore analog I/O and PID control in depth. You will learn how to handle analog inputs and outputs, including techniques for scaling in Ladder, FBD, and ST. Additionally, we will cover the essentials of PID control, helping you apply Proportional, Integral, and Derivative techniques to optimize system performance.

In this module, we will dive into the world of PID control using a process simulator. You’ll learn how to fine-tune PID settings for a variety of applications, including temperature control and level control, helping you optimize real-time system performance and stability.
