Industrial Controls
In this section, you will learn the complete concept of industrial control systems and how each component works together to operate machines safely and efficiently. You will study relays, timers, proximity sensors, limit switches, contactors, push buttons, and selector switches, understanding their roles in control and protection.
The lessons also cover all types of motor starters, along with how to design, wire, and test control diagrams used in real industrial applications. Every topic is explained in a clear and practical way to help you connect theory with hands-on experience.
By the end of this training, you will be able to design and build your own control circuits with confidence and apply your knowledge to real industrial projects.
