For those who have not yet discovered it, your NC communicates with a PLC which is what actually opens doors, turns on coolant, etc. So learning PLCs (Programmable Logic Controls) help expand your CNC troubleshooting capabilities and ability to modify how the CNC works. This video is an intro using our latest real-world PLC simulation training software. (There is nothing else like it in the world.)
