Transcript

I've been an automation and controls engineer for about 10 years. And in all that time, I've never really seen nor have I created a good start here to learn about controls and automation engineering piece of content. So I decided to make one. A 17-part introduction crash course to automation and controls engineering on my YouTube page, LeMasterTech. Parts of it are me talking about automation and controls concepts, and a lot of it are hands-on code along practical exercises. The 17 chapters are: Part one, what is automation and controls engineering? Part two, introduction to the industrial automation control cabinet hardware. Part three, tools that you would need to do fieldwork as an automation engineer. Part four, introduction to the PLC programming languages. Part five, introduction to a PLC and setting up a new program with a PLC. Six, programming in structured text. Seven, programming in ladder logic. Eight, introduction to electrical schematics and wiring diagrams. Nine, downloading and getting started with the Ignition SCADA HMI platform. 10, expression tags with Ignition. 11, Python scripting in Ignition. 12, animating objects on your HMI displays. 13, tying a PLC to a SCADA or HMI. 14, sequential programming and building an HMI to control it. 15, sequential and historian, the data analytics of controls. 16, adding IO expansion modules. 17, additional wiring of switches, buttons, digital inputs and outputs. And while it's completely impossible to cover everything you need to know about controls and automation in one video, regardless of the length, I'm super confident if you start with this video, you spend the time, you pick the chapters you need the most, going to learn a ton about this super cool field. It's actually the fastest video on my channel ever to hit 10,000 views. I know a ton of people have found LeMasterTech with an interest in industrial automation and controls. Be sure to check out that tutorial on LeMasterTech YouTube and let me know what you think.
