1. Breaking into the Industry: Most of the jobs require at least 2 years of experience and familiarity with certain PLC hardware and software. However, cannot find any openings for freshers.

2. PLC Languages: I'm familiar with Ladder and Function Block Diagram. Recently, started working with Sequential Flow Chart. Will these three languages cover major applications? Should I also learn Structured Text, Instruction List, and Continuous Flow Chart?

3. PLC Applications: I have only worked with fluid power (hydraulic and pneumatic) drives. Typical I/Os were: solenoids, digital sensors (reed, inductive proximity, and pressure switch), Potentiometer (±10 V), linear analog sensors (0 - 10 V). Which are the other systems (electrical drives) and I/Os used with PLCs ?

4. Prerequisites for SCADA: After learning the basics of Ladder Logic and FBD, I evaluated PLC software from different vendors. The only difference was User Interface, programming logic remained the same. Similarly, every PLC vendor has their own SCADA software. Are their any basic prerequisites, like, C, Visual Basic, SQL, JAVA, etc. that would be helpful?

Thank you
