Local area networks (LAN) are the high-speed, medium-distance communication highways that connect PLC systems throughout a plant and its enterprise network. They also connect to host computers and distributed control systems (DCS).

The PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) Networks course introduces PLC network architecture and topology. This online course focuses on:

• Digital communication networks
• Network architecture
• Network access
• Network communication media

PLC Networks is part of the Programmable Logic Controllers training series.
