Details of the course coming soon…

Completed this course when National Instruments offered all online courses for free during the Covid-19 pandemic! It is for beginners and provides very basic knowledge about graphical programming in LabVIEW. The course does not require to complete any assignment but it has multiple choice questions with each module. Key points of the course are:
1. Measuring signal with National Instrument Data Acquisition (NI DAQ) Devices and Non-NI DAQ Devices.
2. Techniques of debugging and troubleshooting the graphical codes.
3. Execution of ‘for loop’ and ‘while loop’ in the graphical programming environment.
4. Working with groups of data (array and waveform)
5. Execution of code based on condition (Case Structure)
6. Writing and reading data to file.
7. Reusing code with SubVI
8. Grouping data with mixed data types (Clusters)

If anybody is interested to take the course, I would suggest going through the LabVIEW youtube channel first and then start the course.

This is a project-based course and took way longer than it said. Had to complete 10 projects, each of which took 4/5 hours on average. However, I am really satisfied with the course and feeling confident about PLC Programming.

Projects that I had to complete are:
1. Maintaining pressure within two set points in a tank
2. Filling boxes with Pecans and Walnuts
3. Inventory management with part numbers
4. Controlling the position of a servo
5. Measuring the flow rate of oil through a pipe
6. Tracking the run time of a host plant
7. Automatic calibration of an Oxygen sensor
8. Maintaining vacuum in a tank
9. Pulling data from PLC to Excel
10. Protecting a pump from a low inlet flow rate and high outlet pressure

The course was like a refresher as I learned this language at my undergraduate level to solve numerical problems.

The course starts with the familiarization with matrices. Then it discusses different functions, if-else statements, for loops, while loops and data types. In the end, it shows how to work with MAT-files, Excel files, text files, and binary files.

The interesting part is, all the codes can be written using the online version of MATLAB!

This course goes through the very basics of PLC Ladder Logic. Yet the TIMER and COUNTER have been discussed superbly with a conveyor project.
