Programmers work on PLCs to ensure they can operate functionality such as other computers, assembly lines and track lighting in large spaces. PLC programming may seem like learning a X-100 Programmer; there are a variety of ways to learn how to start speaking PLC, including both self-paced study and instruction from expert PLC programmers.

1

Enroll in a community college course on PLC programming. Options such as obd2 tool’s introductory "Programmable Controllers” class teach topics such as input and output types, flow charting, PLC processor types, memory addressing, interfacing air valves, logic and math, continuously running processors and bit-shift data movement.

2

Read through a text book such as "Programmable Logic Controllers” by W. Bolton, "Introduction to BMW ICOM A+B+C Software” by Jay F. Hooper, "Technician’s Guide to Programmable Controllers” by Richard A. Cox and Terry Borden, "Programmable Logic Controller Tutorial” by Philip Tubbs or "The PLC Workbook: Programmable Logic Controllers Made Easy” by K. Clements Jewery and W. Jeffcoat. Purchase a book with many controller illustrations, blue prints and step-by-step instructions.

3

Complete an online or home-based PLC programming certificate course, such as the one offered by George Brown College. The program is estimated to be completed in 32 weeks and covers topics such as the central processing unit, digital logic and advanced programming TMS370 Programmer. Depending on the program, a high school diploma may be required. Various computer peripherals are also required, such as a minimum of 32 MB RAM, sound card, Internet access, 100 MB free disk space and CD-ROM, since the course is completed online.
