8/12/27 and 8/13/27 - VFD/PLC (Variable Frequency Drives and Programmable Logic Controllers) - Virtual

Master VFD and PLC fundamentals with a focus on field-ready skills. Learn hands-on navigation, accel/decel ramps, and I/O wiring without being dependent on a manual.

We'll demystify PLC logic by showing you how to read programs and troubleshoot the entire system—PLC, VFD, and HMI—as a single unit. Become a better, higher-earning electrician with JCR.

What You'll Learn

VFD & PLC Fundamentals

Variable Frequency Drives

Hands-on menu navigation so you're not dependent on a manual during a late-night service call. We'll cover drive setup, accel/decel ramps, I/O wiring, and fault codes — what they're actually telling you and how to troubleshoot without masking the real problem.

Programmable Logic Controllers

PLCs aren't about programming — they're about logic you already know. If a contact is closed AND another is closed, the coil energizes. That's Boolean logic, and you've been doing it your whole career. We'll focus on how to read a PLC program in the field to find the rung controlling the output you're chasing. Then we'll tie it together — PLC, VFD, and HMI working as one system — because that's what you're actually working on out there.
