ABSTRACT This paper provides both Theory and Programmable logic controller (PLC) in Automation engineering. According to various manufacturing company, the nature and useful area of PLC may be different and this paper mainly supports step by step approaching methods to be familiar with what is PLC and how PLC work. Automation purpose is the main application of PLC and the programmers or control supervisors will be able to learn easily with the four levels or steps that perform in this paper. Keywords: PLC, Automation, Methods, levels I. INTRODUCTION Technological advances in recent years have resulted in the development of the programm controller and a consequential revolution of control engineering. The purpose of a PLC was to directly replace electro-mechanical relays as logic elements, substituting instead a solid-state digital computer with a stored program, able to emulate the interconnection of many relays to perform certain logical tasks. A Programmable Logic Programmable Controller is a digital computer used for automation of electromechanical processes. Figure 1 shows the basic arrangement of a PLC system. There are two common types of mechanical design for PLC systems; a single box, and the types. PLC manufacturers have programming software for their PLCs. For example, Mitsubishi have Their GX Developer supports controllers from the compact PLCs of the MELSEC FX series to the modular PLCs including MELSEC System Q and uses a Windows based environment.

A. Software for PLCs There are various software for PLC programming a compiling to PLCs.CX-Programmer is software for easy used from OMRON. The easier or user friendly the type, the less input and outputs or performance of PLC can be used. The consideration software of level 1 and level 2 approaches in this paper is CX programmer which is user friendly but cannot used with HMI. The CX-programmer window is shown in figure-2. Level3: Approch PLC projects by both hardware time networking for Level4: PLC and HMI programming practices. There are various software for PLC programming and Programmer is software for The easier or user friendly the type, the less input and outputs or performance of PLC can be used. The consideration software of level Figure-4 OMRON PLCs according according to I/O numbers SEIMENS PLC types also changes depend on software version and hardware update.

OBJECTIVES OF EACH LEVEL By separating four level of learning technologies of PLC automation, the application purposes is differ For example, Engineer cannot be able to design the program or cannot be able to communicate networking between PLC, PC and I/O Machines for PLC programming that interfacing with HMI. The reason is we need to simulate and test our program in simulation and monitoring software tools. step learning approach can support the technologist more friendly with PLC nature. with PLC nature.
