Course detail

Introduction to Programmable Logic Controlles

FSI-VAMAcad. year: 2022/2023

The course introduces the student to area of basics of programmable logic controllers (PLC), which are today an integral part of industry and non-industry automation. After the theoretical introduction the course is based on practical laboratory exercises which are realized in the institute’s laboratory.
