Allen Bradley Micro850 PLC with IIoT

This specialization features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the specialization. In this specialization, you will gain comprehensive expertise in programming and integrating the Allen Bradley Micro850 PLC with Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies. You will start by learning the fundamentals of the Micro850 PLC and its programming environment, CCW (Connected Components Workbench). The specialization then covers key automation concepts, such as ladder logic, bit-level instructions, timers, and counters, through practical exercises and real-world applications. As you progress, you'll explore more advanced programming techniques like structured text (ST), function block diagrams (FBD), and PID control, enabling you to build complex, efficient control systems. You'll also learn to integrate IIoT features, including MQTT communication and MODBUS TCP, for cloud-based monitoring and control. By the end of the specialization, you will be able to Program and troubleshoot Allen Bradley Micro850 PLCs using CCW software, Implement complex automation logic with ladder logic, structured text, and FBD, Integrate IIoT protocols to enable remote monitoring and control of PLC systems, Interface PLC systems with SCADA, mobile devices, and cloud platforms for real-time control.
