I'm happy to announce the limited availability of my original Kickstarter funded Micro PLC Basics course which would later be renames to PLC Basics (first edition.)

This is a copy of the very first original run of DVDs which Kickstarter Backers received in late 2014, and should not be confused with my later re-filmed and much expanded “PLC Basics, Second Edition” course.

This original course which earned a 4.6 out of 5 star rating with students in over 45 counties, and includes all the basics you need to know to begin using and programming PLCs!

Note: Customers looking for my completely new, five hour second edition click here: PLC Basics, Second Edition.

• How to download, setup and use RSLogix, RSLinx, and RSEmulate
• *Updated Online Digital Lesson: New Downloads, Win10 Setup

• Configure RSLinx communications to Emulated PLCs, as well as the Serial DF1 driver and cables used with A-B PLCs

Who should take this course:

This introductory PLC course is designed for those people without prior PLC experience who want to get started using and programming PLCs quickly and inexpensively.

This course is also recommended as the starting point for beginners who would like to go on to learn about other A-B Programmable Controllers, including the Allen-Bradley CompactLogix and ControlLogix PACs.
