Students must be comfortable operating in a Microsoft Windows environment
Software Used:
RSLogix 500 or AI 500 software depending on client\’s requirements.
Course Description:
Students who attend this course will learn how to set up communication with the processor, go online with the project, and locate an output that will not energize such as a solenoid or relay. We use your plant programs as real world examples for practice, then load simulation programs into our workstations. Participants will learn how to trace an output through the program to determine the root cause of a problem, and find out why the PLC is not calling for the output to energize. During this process, students will learn about instructions in the PLC, and other troubleshooting tools that are available to minimize downtime.
