1. Understand the basic concept and principle of PLC: First of all, you need to understand the basic principle, function, composition and working principle of PLC, which is the basis of learning PLC.
2. Learning programming languages: PLC usually uses LadderDiagram (LD), InstructionList (IL), SequentialFunctionChart (SFC) and other programming languages. Beginners can learn from ladder diagram because its graphic features are easier to understand.
3. Choose the right brand and model of PLC: There are many brands and models of PLC in the market, such as Siemens, Mitsubishi and Omron. Beginners can choose the appropriate brand and model of PLC according to their own needs and interests.
4. Learn PLC software: Most PLC brands have their own programming software, such as Step7 of Siemens, GXWorks of Mitsubishi and CX- programmer of Omron. Learning to use these softwares can better program and debug PLC.
5. Hands-on practice: integrating theory with practice is the key to learning PLC. You can buy some simple PLC experimental kits, such as temperature controllers and motor controllers, for practical operation and programming exercises.
6. Participate in training courses and exchange activities: You can sign up for some PLC training courses and ask professional teachers to improve your skills. At the same time, you can join some PLC technical exchange groups to share your experience and experience with other learners.
7. Read relevant materials: In the process of learning PLC, you can read some relevant books, tutorials and cases to understand the application and solutions of PLC in different industries.
8. Insist on learning and practice: PLC learning is a continuous process, which requires continuous learning and practice. Only through continuous efforts can we truly master the skills of PLC.
