Module 1 : Introduction to Industrial Automation and PLC

• What is Industrial Automation? — process vs discrete automation, where PLCs fit, and how plant-floor control has evolved.

• PLC Hardware Components — CPU, power supply, digital and analog I/O modules, communication modules and rack architecture.

• Introduction to Ladder Logic — contacts, coils, rungs, and how to think about real-world control problems in ladder form.

Module 2: PLC Programming and Troubleshooting

• Software for PLC Programming — installing, configuring and connecting to a PLC; project tree, hardware configuration and download/upload.

• Timers and Counters — TON / TOF / RTO timers and CTU / CTD counters used in real sequencing problems.

• More Advanced Logic Functions — math, compare, move, set/reset, edge detection and sequencer instructions.

• Finding and Fixing Problems — structured PLC troubleshooting, online monitoring, force tables and common field faults.

Module 3 : SCADA Systems and Monitoring

• What is SCADA? — architecture, where SCADA sits above the PLC layer, tags, drivers and runtime/engineering split.

• Creating Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) — screen design, animations, push-buttons, alarms and operator workflows.

• Data Logging and Trends — capturing process data, real-time and historical trends, and storing logs for analysis.

• Remote Access and Networking — industrial networks, remote SCADA access and secure communication basics.

Module 4: Real Projects and Career Preparation

• Real Industrial Case Studies — walk-throughs of actual plant automation deployments and their PLC + SCADA architectures.

• Final Project Development — design, program and demonstrate a complete PLC + SCADA control system end-to-end.

• Career Preparation and Certifications — automation career paths, industry certifications and how to position yourself.

• Final Presentation and Certification — present your project, receive feedback, and earn your hard-copy certificate.
