Why Enroll in This Course?

Omron NJ and NX PLCs are programmed in Sysmac Studio. If you are new to Omron, the software and the way it uses variables can take some time to learn. This course starts from zero.

This Omron PLC programming course has 41 lessons. You learn PLC hardware and I/O modules first. Then you install Sysmac Studio, start a project and configure the I/O. You write ladder logic with timers, set and reset instructions and global variables. You map variables to field devices. After that, you test the program in the simulator and over Ethernet. The last part is an introduction to structured text.
