Questions

Which syllabus does the PLC Lab course follow?

It follows the BTEUP (Board of Technical Education, Uttar Pradesh) diploma syllabus for PLC Lab (Electrical Engineering, Semester 6). If your own board's or institute's syllabus differs, the centre follows your own syllabus.

Will this help in the practical examination and viva?

Yes. Every experiment is practised with the aim, circuit, procedure, observation table and result, followed by viva questions as asked in the BTEUP practical exam.

Which PLC is used?

Any available trainer (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Delta, Mitsubishi) or simulator; the ladder logic is the same in principle.
