While most of what you have said is true there are a lot of instances where the two meet. We design systems from instrumentation and up. My engineers can program the PLCS, touch panels, SCADA HMIs with SQL databases and generate reports using SAP. Not to mention on larger systems one has PLCs and SCADA machines communicating via radio and ethernet networks. Now, it does take time and a fair amount cross training before a single engineer can do it all. I usually hire either control or electrical engineers with CS background either in college or work experience.

Hello Paul, so what really are the opportunities of working as a PLC programmer but without change of residence? I'm talking about the work in a hybrid or maybe on a remote modality

I am still on the first parts of your PLC courses, on Udemy. I have bought some Python programming courses as well, that i want to do later on. (And have some C courses on my wishlist for even later than that 😅) Im thinking about either getting the rest of your courses on PLC Dojo afterwards, or if the Python courses would be ve better to do first? Im doing it mainly for the interest in the CS programming skills, and to become more well rounded overall.
