Plc

[Tommo]

Hello forum,

 

for my technology exam project i am creating this device;

 

It will be a switch, which will turn of an electrical device when a sensor sees a certain colour (Like red).

 

Since i'm not a senior or whatever the fuck you call it, i don't have electrical lessons invovling PLC.

But i teacher suggested to me that i should use PLC and either try and learn it myself (in 4weeks) or ask senior for help.

 

I'd much rather try and learn it myself and this is where i need some help/advice.

 

Is it possible for a complete rookie to learn PLC without any general help?

Do any of you guys know a good PLC simulator?

And do you know any sites/books which could give me enough information to construct my device?

Seems to have resources on PLC simulators

not much and I haven't personally tried any of them =/'

hopefully it helps! xD

Plc basics took me about an hour to learn, it's learning the code that will take time. We had a wysiwyg program so it helped with cut ing down on code knowledge. Sadly I haven't messed with them for over 5 years now.

I looked at some of these simulators earlier, i'll have another look when i get home.

Can you remember what this program was called? That'd help me a ton.
