🧮 The Suspiciously Fun PLC Series · Cross-brandPLC programming:
PLC programming:
the essentials, made playable.
Before you wire a single rung, you need the building blocks every PLC program is made of: data types, timers, counters, math, POUs, structured data, fault handling and a clean project layout. This module walks through all eight. It stays vendor-neutral and hands-on, and every chapter has a live widget to play with.
Foundations first
🌱 types, timers and counters are the vocabulary of automation. Get them into your fingers with simulators you can poke (toggle a BOOL, fill a TON, click a CTU) instead of just reading about them.
Built like real projects
🎯 POUs, STRUCTs, ARRAYs, fault handlers and a TwinCAT 3-style project tree. It's the same structure you'll open on your first real job, so the step from lesson to plant floor is a short one.
🌐
Vendor-neutral and accurate. Type, language and product names (BOOL, INT, REAL, TON, CTU, FB, FC, PRG, TwinCAT 3, CODESYS, TIA Portal) are kept exact. The logic shown works on any IEC 61131-3 compliant PLC.
No prior PLC experience needed. Every term is defined the first time it appears.
