Students will learn about programmable logic controllers that have become the basis of today 's modern industry and automation. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) have improved the control system and replaced the previous system, which was based on electromechanical relays. Students will learn about the programming languages used in the programming of PLC devices and the basics and characteristics of each individual programming language are listed. In the second part of the DLP, a practical example of automatic garage door control is given.
