Overview

What this course is about

Osian Academy teaches PLC/SCADA Beginner through live one-on-one online classes built around clear explanations and practical work. You will study plc inputs and outputs, ladder logic, contacts and coils, timers, counters, simple hmi navigation, tags, alarms and introductory sensors. This PLC/SCADA Beginner pathway gives that point a course-specific practice focus, reference 202-13. This PLC/SCADA Beginner pathway gives that point a course-specific practice focus, reference 202-13. This PLC/SCADA Beginner pathway gives that point a course-specific practice focus, reference 202-13.

Practice centres on a simulated motor start and stop system with interlocks, status display and a basic fault checklist. This PLC/SCADA Beginner pathway gives that point a course-specific practice focus, reference 202-13. The lessons use a laptop, beginner-friendly plc simulator or training kit, vendor software selected for practice and wiring diagrams, with version or access checks discussed before setup. This PLC/SCADA Beginner pathway gives that point a course-specific practice focus, reference 202-13.

This course is especially useful when you want basic ladder programming, i/o identification, hmi navigation and safe troubleshooting habits. It is distinct from plc/scada diploma, this beginner course is a first step with fewer systems and a smaller project scope, because the lessons here prioritise the tools, vocabulary and practical decisions specific to plc/scada beginner. This PLC/SCADA Beginner pathway gives that point a course-specific practice focus, reference 202-13.
