This three-day session is intended to provide the skills needed to write, enter and test SLC 500 programs using the advanced programming instructions and RSLogix 500 software. Hands-on practice is provided using trainers and simulators with actual SLC 500 system control stations.
Prerequisite: General knowledge of machine controls and a basic understanding of programming PLCs.
This three-day session is intended to provide generic background theory, application information and programming practices.
Who should attend: Anyone who uses or maintains PLC-based systems, such as engineers, maintenance technicians, sales or application personnel.
Prerequisite: Basic electricity and general knowledge of machine controls.
Hands-on practice is provided using custom Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1500 trainers with RSLogix 5000 and RSLinx software.
This three-day session is intended to provide the basic skills needed to understand the RSLogix 5000 software and the Logix family of programmable automation controllers.
Participants will use AB’s CompactLogix controller, a Festo I/O simbox and EasyVeep simulation software to reinforce the learning objectives.
Prerequisite: General knowledge of window-based operating systems. Basic understanding of machine controls.
At least half of the class is devoted to hands-on experience with the CompactLogix trainers to achieve optimal retention and development of practical application skills.
This three-day seminar is a common-sense guide to learning electrical principles and troubleshooting.
The course combines presentation and hands-on training with custom-made consoles, taught from a troubleshooting perspective. Approximately 50 percent is devoted to hands-on exercises to achieve optimum retention of practical application skills.
Digital multimeters are provided for participant use during the training. If you prefer, bring the meter used in your daily work. Participants are encouraged to bring a calculator.
This two-day training seminar is a guide to learning Technical Diagrams. Electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic drawings, diagrams and schematics are included.
This course combines lectures and presentations taught from a troubleshooting perspective.
This three-day training seminar is a common-sense guide to learning Mechanical Systems and Power Transmission. This course combines presentations and hands-on training taught from a troubleshooting perspective.
This three-day training seminar focuses on motor control and relay logic. The workshop combines presentation and hands-on training taught from a troubleshooting perspective.
Fifty percent of class time is devoted to hands-on experience with the custom trainer consoles to achieve optimal retention and develop practical application skills.
While digital multimeters are provided, please feel free to bring the DMM that you normally would use at your place of employment.
This four-day course uses a combination of training methods. Topics are covered in a lecture format along with student workbooks. The student will then design circuits using a computer layout and simulation program.
Once a circuit has been checked, it is constructed and operated on the trainer board using actual valves, cylinders and a compressed air source.
This two-day course gives maintenance technicians, specifiers and supervisors insights to VFD theory and operation, installation considerations, problem-solving in existing systems and familiarity with typical setup parameters.
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are increasingly used in motor speed control applications. They are becoming more cost-effective and continue to offer greater capability and reliability.
Students will make the drive perform various functions through programming parameters and wiring connections. A workbook and reference material will be provided.
Approximately half of the class is devoted to hands-on experience with the custom AB PowerFlex 525 training stations to maximize retention and the development of practical application skills.
