    Re: Good PLC course I found

    The best do-it-yourself PLC course I've found is not a course but a user manual. Go to automationdirect.com and download the manuals for their model DL05 PLC. It discusses ladder logic commands, provides examples, and covers details that most textbooks overlook.

    You can also download a free version of Directsoft programming software to practice writing programs. It is limited to 100 words but that is more than enough for simple applications.

    I bought a PLC and manual from them years ago and within two weeks I learned enough to build a machine for a customer. The printed manuals are admittedly much easier to read than the PDF's. You can't put sticky notes in a PDF.

    I have several trade school and college textbooks on PLC's and they all suck.
