Course Overview
This 1-day hands-on workshop is built specifically for individuals who think they want to learn PLC programming but have never touched industrial hardware. As our lightweight introductory session rather than our deep 5-day PLC-101 intensive, it strips away the intimidation factor and gives you direct, practical experience wiring real-world inputs and outputs, then writing your first functional ladder logic program from scratch.
Typically, Tim's courses run $1,000 a day, making this a uniquely accessible, limited opportunity to test the waters or train new team members on physical hardware.
What You Will Cover
Hardware Wiring: Hands-on experience connecting real industrial components, power supplies, and terminal blocks.
Basic Ladder Logic: Writing, downloading, and troubleshooting your first PLC program.
Real-World Fault Isolation: Using physical multimeters and hand tools to verify I/O.
Prerequisites & Requirements
