"Hands-On" Programming for the SLC500™ Programmable Controller Using RSLogix500™ Software

Comprehensive 5-Day PLC Training Seminar in a Combination "Hands-ON" and Classroom Session

NOTE: Course content is based on the Allen-Bradley SLC500™ PLC, 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
5 Days

Seminar Purpose
The purpose of this seminar is to provide you with the skills needed to organize, plan, write, enter, test, and document SLC500™ programs using the basic programming instructions and RSLogix500™ software. You will learn to use specific advanced instructions. You will learn to edit, upload, download, save, and restore as well as program specific ladder logic instructions. The instructor will demonstrate the use of bit-level, timer, counter, conversion, math, comparison, data manipulation, program control, and diagnostic instructions in detail, then provide realistic situations that allow you to practice using these instructions.

Frequent hands-on practice is provided using an actual SLC500™ system workstation.

Seminar Objectives
Upon completion of this seminar, you will be able to produce SLC500™ programs using RSLogix500™ software by performing these actions:

  • Write and edit programs
  • Enter and test programs
  • Document and maintain programs

Hands-On Training
These Seminars offer real Hands-On Training, not just a demonstration. You will spend approximately 50% of your time actually working with Programmable Controllers, either individually or with a partner. Your team size will never exceed two Participants. Each team will be assigned a Training Center, consisting of a Personal Computer with RSLogix500™ Programming Software and an Allen-Bradley SLC500™ Programmable Logic Controller for their exclusive use.

Who Should Attend
 Individuals who need to be able to write ladder logic programs for a SLC500™ processor using RSLogix500™ software should attend this seminar.
