This is a course is designed to give you a deep understanding of the foundation of programming using RSlogix 500.

Everything needed to be able to program, troubleshoot, and have the knowledge of Rockwell Automation PLC Rslogix 500.

This course uses the free version of RSlogix 500 which is the Micro Starter Lite offered from Rockwell for free, I just made this easy to get and follow along.

This course was designed to give everyone without the ability of programming a place to turn and not only get a beginners guide to PLC programming but get a free version of the software as well.

This course starts from the beginning while providing an in-depth view of detailed knowledge often overlooked in most online courses, if you miss this one then you will have a weak foundation for any future controls.

I have a very successful YouTube channel about PLC programming and run a website to assist with this effort as will which is Online PLC Support if you were to Google it or just click the link to view it.

My name is Shane Welcher & I have had a career in PLC and HMI programming for over 18 years working with Rockwell Automation software. While over the last 6 years also do free training on my YouTube channel to help people learn how to program.

I use the industry best practices as standards to make things as successful as they can be.

About Me

I have great job at one of the more highly known tissue manufacturers which I am fortunate enough to be mentored by some of the greatest minds in automation to date. From work directly with high up Rockwell engineers to the local engineers where I worked.

Such a great experience, I ended up learning so much that they asked me to make "how-to" documents on how the software worked and the proper best practices for them....a great task to be honored with as it kept me learning.



WHY DO I TEACH
One of my close (Friend) old coworkers from another job ended up losing his job because the company downsized & he could not find work.
Not because there was no work for him, but because the work that was being offered was wanted programming experience. This ended up costing him just about everything he owned until he found work close to a year later....
A scary place to be, I know.

I wanted to help him so I started teaching him about PLC programming.

I am happy to say he is one of the lead people in controls where he works now after what he learn & the effort he put in, I have to say that I am proud of his achievement. His effort is what made the difference.



Automation is a great field.
This led me to start making YouTube videos about PLC programming with Allen Bradley software so I could help out even more. Two years later I was asked to make PLC & HMI programming courses because everyone wanted a well-structured learning platform.
The lesson my friend learned made me think. I made it my mission to change the way I thought from getting ready to staying ready.

Moving forward every day, trying to be a better version of myself tomorrow than I am today, i hope you do the same.


My BELIEF
Being able to make programming courses challenges me to be better each & every video, I highly enjoy helping people so this is why I am still doing this today.

I'm sure that if you have the effort & apply yourself with what you learn here that you will have a great future in the automation field.
