PLC Programmer Job Description

A PLC programmer is an expert in the field of automation.

PLC programmers are responsible developing, testing, and programming electronic control systems using Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs).

PLCs are commonly used in automated manufacturing, assembly lines, and office equipment.

PLCs use logic controls and ladder logic to control the flow of electricity, and therefore control automated processes.

PLCs use a variety of inputs and outputs to control process flow.

PLC programming requires complex knowledge of electronics, control theory, and computer programming.

PLC programming can be done in a laboratory or in the field.
