No PLC experience needed

PLC Training on the MicroLogix 1100

Learn PLCs on real Allen-Bradley hardware you connect to remotely. Understand how a controller is actually wired, inputs, outputs and field devices, then write, download and run your own programs on a live MicroLogix 1100. Hands-on labs with a live dashboard showing the controller respond as your logic runs.

Add an Allen-Bradley Drive

One job, start to finish: add a drive to a PLC, configure it, run it from your program, and watch live drive signals as it responds.

In development

Add Point I/O

Expand a controller with Point I/O — physical install, configuration, addressing the new points, and proving them from your program.

Common questions

Course FAQs

No. PLC Fundamentals — Project 1 starts from the basics: what a PLC is, basic instructions, and writing your first working program. No prior electrical or programming experience needed.

Everything runs online. Live sessions connect you remotely to real PLC hardware — not a simulator — so you're working with actual I/O and a live controller from wherever you are.

Not currently for the PLC Fundamentals course. If you're training through a college or institution, we can arrange for them to issue their own certificate for completed coursework — see Tailored & Group Training below.
