Want to start with PLC
Versione migliorata:
Hello guys, currently I’m working as an electrician in Italy. I went to a technical/professional school where, during my last year, we did some PLC programming. We only worked with FBD, but I really enjoyed it and I found it interesting.
After 2 years of working as an electrician, I’ve started feeling a bit frustrated because, even though it’s what I studied, I don’t enjoy traditional electrical work that much. I’ve been thinking that moving into PLC/industrial automation could be a better path for me.
The reason I didn’t start earlier is because after school I didn’t have a car, and there weren’t many companies or agencies near me that worked with PLC/automation.
Do you think it’s worth making the switch? What would you recommend learning first to get into PLC programming and automation?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
