Part 4 – Programming the Siemens S7-1200 PLC to Control Factory I/O

Welcome to this training program on how to use the Siemens S7-1200 PLC with Factory I/O. In this video we make use of the Factory I/O Control Panel to operate the Conveyor System by programming the Siemens PLC using ladder logic.

After the introduction, the first part of the video covers what we are trying to achieve in this 3 Part Control Panel Training. I also point out that it is my own interpretation of the Control Panel Operation and someone else might program it slightly differently. However, it should give you an insight into the things you need to consider when writing a PLC Program for a similar Control Panel Project of your own.

If you would like to purchase Factory I/O to help you learn the latest PLC programming techniques and at the same time, help me produce more training videos like this one for you to watch, then please use this link: https://factoryio.com/url-action?ref=mariocrispino
