Hi
I am second year mechanical engineering student interested in PLC programming as a career choice.
Looking at job advertisements it looks like only electrical and electronic engineers are getting hired for this type of job. However i think company would benefit having someone who understands mechanical part of the system and knows PLC. I do have however extremely little knowledge of electrical systems.
Would it be hard for someone with very little electrical knowledge to learn plc?
If you are mechanical engineer working with plc's please share your experiences.
Also what is the best way to get started? From what i can see Siemens and Allen Bradley are the choice of plc here (Ireland)
Thanks
