Hi everyone. I'm student Techical high school. My school has 14 kinds of plc (abb siemens schneider Rockwell mitsubishi lenze wago panasonic delta gmt vipa panasonic phoenixcontact  omron backhoff)
What is differences PLC brands?
Which plc best to start learn?

Arznei:
The difference between the brands is probably the same as it is with any other product (like car brands, oscilloscope brands etc.). They offer the same basic functionality with their own taste i would guess.

From my experience the Siemens SPS are the most common in the industrial world. That could be influenced by the fact that I am living in germany though. I would suggest to just start with one or two to learn the basics and then you can compare different brands for yourself. I don't think it makes a lot of sense to compare all 14 vendors here.

rstofer:
The first 5 on the list represent the big players.  Pick one..  I would choose from ABB or Siemens.

Most of the PLCs will be programmed using the concept of ladder diagrams and it is probably best to know what those look like before even beginning to program a PLC.  I see there are now 'builders' (software) that try to abstract the design.  I'm not too sure what to think about that.  I like ladder diagrams...

In the US, Allen Bradley and GE Fanuc are large players.  I have used quite a bit of GE Fanuc but I have always been a fan of Allen Bradley products.

perieanuo:
Siemens omron lenze fanuc I saw those in industry more often
