Description
Students will learn how to set up a controller for multitasking and write application code using the IEC61131-3 standard programming languages. Advanced process control instructions, and communications between multiple CPU’s using produced and consumed. This course will also introduce the students to the FactoryTalk View Studio and PlantPAx library of process objects.
Course Outline:
- Create a general project structure for CompactLogix PLCs.
- Create a tag array using a user defined data type and indirect addressing.
- Effectively use advanced instructions for Allen Bradley PLCs.
- Program PLCs with subroutines and/or AOI.
- Program PLCs using LD, FBD, ST and SFC languages.
- Maintain PLCs and troubleshoot communication issues.
- Wire and configure analog modules.
- Set up PID controller and tune PID loops.
- Establish control with MSG instruction.
