Description

We have learned in other RealPars courses about a new industrial period of evolution called Industry 4.0 which includes Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Digital Transformation. So, in light of this profound evolution, we have put together a course with objectives to familiarize the curious-minded learners about perhaps the glue that may tie the upper layers of business IT functions to the lower process layers of the plant floor, and it’s called Python.

Over the last few years, Python has become more and more popular and the demand for Python in the job market is increasing ever so fast, and Python is a skill set that will help you qualify for some of the most exciting high-tech field areas such as Data Science, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Web Applications, Server Automation, IoT, IIoT and Home Automation just to mention a few.

This course will help those IT-savvy programming professionals looking for a better understanding of programmable logic controller programming with real-world Input-Output functions and Industrial Control professionals looking for a better understanding of a powerful programming language to help facilitate the migration of important data to IIoT type functions.
And this course will provide all the step-by-step instructions on how to get started and set up Python and related “Raspberry Pi” module and related breadboarding.

Follow along, this a multi-lesson course intended for the beginner Python programmer and beginner PLC ladder logic programmer.

Testimonial title

Marcin Trojak

From my experience, I have to say that RealPars is the most professional online training program out there. The instructors are easy to follow and clearly explain PLC theories with excellent supporting visuals and real-life application examples. I like that they provide a summary after each lesson that brings together all the information and makes it easier to retain. Plus, I can train anytime, anywhere. I’m a maintenance apprentice right now, but when I complete RealPars training I’ll be ready to go after the PLC programming jobs I want.

Mohammad Khabazi

I work on electrical and instrument maintenance now, but my goal is to become a full-time PLC programmer. University courses take too much money and time. The RealPars video training method is great…the instructors are all experts and speak clearly so they keep my interest and are easy to follow. I’m eager to gain even more PLC expertise as new content is added.
