PLC Programming - A Tutorial for Beginners

This tutorial is for beginners who are just starting to program PLCs. Using the EasyPLC simple conveyor, we will move a box back and forth on the conveyor. We will learn to write the PLC ladder logic program for this operation. Using the five steps to PLC programming development, we will determine what must be done, look at the inputs and outputs, develop the sequence of operation, program the conveyor belt, and test our program. The EasyPLC machine simulator is part of the EasyPLC Software Suite. This package is an excellent way to learn PLC programming without the worry of damaging equipment. We will be programming with the free Do-More Designer PLC software. The Easy machine simulator will be communicating with the Do-More Designer PLC simulator. Let’s get started.
