Allen-Bradley PLC 5 Level 1 (Maintenance and Troubleshooting) with RSLogix 5(Desktop Version)
Course Length:
36 Hours
Maximum Participants:
10
Prerequisites:
Students must be comfortable operating in a Windows environment.
Software Used:
RSLogix 5 with RSLinx Communication Server
Course Description:
This is a customized class in which we use the projects from your own equipment as examples for practice. 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. They will then learn how to trace the 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.
