What is PLC programming?
PLC, namely programmable logic controller, is a digital operation electronic system specially designed for industrial environment applications. It uses programmable memory, in which operating instructions such as logic operation, sequence control, timing, counting and arithmetic operation are stored, and various types of machinery or production processes are controlled through digital and analog input and output.
Why is learning PLC very useful?
In large factories, PLC technology is the key application field of automation specialty, which is indispensable for future social development. Therefore, studying PLC or automation major will have a good development prospect.
In second-tier cities, a PLC engineer who is good at system design, programming and system development often has a high monthly salary and relatively low work intensity. But this requires some mental work, because PLC technology needs rich experience accumulation, especially the design experience of large-scale systems.
What are the advantages of learning PLC?
First of all, if you have an electrician foundation, learning industrial control knowledge such as PLC will have certain advantages. Understand basic circuit knowledge, and then learn programming, the program will be more handy. The knowledge mastered by electricians is the basic knowledge of industrial control, and understanding the foundation can lay a solid foundation for the follow-up study.
Secondly, learning technology well can improve your salary and position. In the eyes of many people, a good job should be more money, less work and close to home. Now as long as you learn PLC well, you can achieve this goal.
Finally, learning PLC technology well can make you an indispensable engineer in an enterprise. The boss will pay special attention to you and give you a promotion and a raise. Other companies will also want to poach you, because every enterprise lacks excellent engineers. When you learn PLC, you will need to contact the communication between frequency converter, servo, configuration network, man-machine interface and other devices, which is no longer an ordinary electrician skill.
In China's economically developed areas, there is an urgent need for a large number of high-tech talents majoring in mechatronics. Among them, it is especially necessary to use electromechanical integration technical talents who work in the field. Therefore, it can be concluded that it is a huge disadvantage not to be able to program PLC in this era.
