PLC Fundamentals for Plant Technicians

Learn PLCs the way plant technicians actually learn them — not from a textbook, but from someone who has spent 25 years standing in front of real panels solving real faults.
This practical guide covers PLC scan cycles, hardware architecture, panel wiring and hierarchy, I/O basics, ladder logic fundamentals, communication protocols, and real fault case studies drawn from cement plant experience — kilns, mills, weigh feeders, and coolers.
Includes diagrams throughout, a chapter on career skills that get you promoted, and a certificate of completion.
