Industrial Controls Project — Start to Finish

One real line — a 3-station packaging line automation retrofit for a food/beverage plant — carried through all 6 stages of industrial controls design, from the PLC I/O list to a finished FAT/SAT checklist.

6 steps, with worked examples, interactive tools, labs and a quiz in every one.
