Learn more about the Accelerated program: https://go.myplctraining.com/yt-cppa I've been programming PLCs hands-on for over ten years, I started myPLCtraining back in 2016, and in this one I'm laying out the exact Allen Bradley PLC training roadmap I'd follow if I were starting from zero in 2026. My take is that the wall isn't the advanced material, it's the first few weeks, when nobody tells you what software to install, whether you need a physical PLC on your desk, or what order to learn things in. So I break the whole beginner path into five steps. I'lI walk through setting up your environment on a normal Windows laptop with the Allen-Bradley software stack, Studio 5000 Logix Designer, Studio 5000 Logix Emulate, and FactoryTalk View, and why Rockwell is what most US plants actually hire for. Then I cover ladder logic the way I teach it to my students, examine if closed, examine if open, output energize, latch and unlatch, branching, and how to avoid wasting too much time on tutorials by building rungs in the emulator instead of just watching videos.
