PLC Programming and Communication Concepts

This video tutorial covers the process of setting up a new project in Studio 5000 for a ControlLogix PLC. It begins with an overview of the PLC hardware, including its slots and components. The tutorial then guides viewers through creating a new project in Studio 5000, connecting to the PLC via Ethernet, and configuring input, output, and analog modules. Finally, it demonstrates how to finalize the setup and begin programming with ladder logic.
