Abstract
Programmable logic controllers PLC are the basic elements used in the course of Industrial Networks at the Tecnologico de Monterrey. These devices are widely used in the industry for automation and process control, so it is very convenient to learn to program them effectively.
On the other hand, according to the IEC 61131-3 standard, there are five programming languages of which two of them are the least known: GRAFCET and Structured Text. One of the objectives of the course is to strengthen the competences related to the programming them, so the first two parts of the course Industrial networks, is focus on developing the skills in these two programming languages. This is achieved by introducing the methodology of teaching based on challenges.
