"Hands-On" PLCs:
Operation, Installation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting
An Intensive 2-Day Course for Those Needing "Hands-ON" Work
experience with programmable logic Controllers
NOTE: Course content is based on Allen-Bradley PLCs,
but every effort is made to present the course in a Generic manner, such that course content will apply to users of all PLCs.
Length Of Course:
2 Days - Classes begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. and continue
until 4:30 p.m. We will break for lunch from approximately 12:00 p.m. - 1:00
p.m.
Seminar Purpose:
This seminar is designed as an introduction to
programmable controller systems. Participants learn what programmable controller
systems are, how they work, and how they can be used to control various
processes and machines.
This skill-building seminar provides the necessary practice needed to
interpret, isolate, and diagnose common hardware problems related to noise,
power, and discrete and analog I/O. In troubleshooting scenarios, participants
are introduced to basic ladder logic interpretation, which is applied to
diagnostic tasks. Participants practice these diagnostic skills by tracing
through ladder logic instructions in an RSLogix500™ project. An integrated
practice of multiple troubleshooting skills completes the training.
The seminar is taught in a hands-on environment, featuring the SLC500™
system. Where applicable, demonstrations are included to facilitate the hands-on
exercises that follow each lesson.
Seminar Objectives:
Upon completion of this seminar, participants will have
a fundamental understanding of programmable controller systems. Specifically,
they will be able to perform the following tasks:
Identify the main components of programmable controller systems and describe
their functions
Describe the flow of information through a programmable
controller system
Navigate through the RSLogix500™ software
Transfer,
monitor, and run projects using a SLC500™ system
Interpret simple ladder
logic programs
Isolate and safely correct problems in a SLC500™
system
Interpret ladder logic for the purpose of troubleshooting
Make
changes to hardware and programs as specified by others using RSLogix500™
software
Who Should Attend
Individuals who have little or no working experience
with programmable controller systems should attend this seminar.
Individuals
who are responsible for troubleshooting and maintaining SLC500™ systems using
RSLogix500™ software should attend this seminar.
