This is a survey course that is meant for people with little or no prior
exposure to PLCs. It is geared toward the individual that will be working
with PLCs directly or in a support role such as sales or distribution.
Participants will survey programmable logic controls from the small, self-contained
units to large, modular, enterprise level controllers.
IEC 1131 open PLC programming will be covered.
This is meant to serve as a primer to more specific and in-depth PLC topics
offered at the center.

This course expands on the basic topics introduced in AS10
and introduces the participant to relay ladder logic programming using MircoLogix
1000 and MicroLogix 1500 PLCs from Allen Bradley. Rockwell Automation
RSLogix 500 Programming software will be used to program these units
and RSLinx will be used as the communication manager.
Participants will obtain a clear understanding of how PLCs manage data.
They will understand the most common input conditions and outputs.
Timers and counters will be covered in detail. |

An extension of AS11, this course will explore advanced math functions
and data manipulation topics. These include block data transfers and shift
functions.
This course uses and advanced Flexible Manufacturing System trainer (FMS-200)
to demonstrate advanced PLC control of a discreet manufacturing process.
This includes the networking of 6 MicroLogix 1500 PLCs to a single SLC5/05
via DeviceNet. All programming is accomplished using RSLogix500 with RSLinx
serving as communication manager.

This course introduces the participant to the hardware and logical architecture
of the ControlLogix platform from Allen Bradley. RSLogix5000 will be used
to program the ControlLogix fro discrete control.
The lab will focus on IEC 1131 based programming of the Control Logix
and basic system configuration. This configuration will include:
Dual Processors (5555 and 5550)
DeviceNet
Ethernet
|
|
This course introduces the participant to the concepts
of PC based logical control using RSLogic5000 software in conjunction
with SoftLogix by Allen Bradley.
Topics include PC hardware configuration and logic confirmation issues unique
to PC-based control. |

This course covers the basics of serial communication beginning
with the Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) layered communications model and
includes a survey of 4 common serial communication network examples. (Ethernet,
DeviceNet, Profibus, and SERCOS).
This is a review course that is meant to serve as an introduction for further
in-depth instruction on these specific industrial network protocols. |
|
This course covers the Control Area Network (CAN) specification and its
use as a Layer 1 and Layer 2 protocol under the DeviceNet application
protocol.
All physical and logical aspects of the DeviceNet protocol will be covered.
The participant will gain the complete understanding of the use of DeviceNet
for industrial network communciation.
Hands on DeviceNet trainers will be available to all participants.
Lab exercises will include the proper wiring and commissioning of a DeviceNet
network.
This course is an extension of AS20 and a prerequisite for AS22.

This course covers the mapping and configuration of a DeviceNet network
using RSNetworx for DeviceNet from Rockwell Automation.
Participants will learn how to map sensor input and actuator output to
the DeviceNet scanner module and ultimately to the PLC.
Lab exercises will include mapping of real world devices to the memory
map of an SLC5/05 PLC using RSLogix500 programming software.
Network troubleshooting labs will also be covered.
It is anticipated that the participant will have all the knowledge covered
in AS20 and AS21 before signing up for AS22.
Every attempt will be mode to model the technology used by the participant.

The course is for maintenance technicians and sales personnel
who will be working in support of industries implementing stepper and servo
technology for motion control.
The course will serve as a comprehensive primer for those with little or
no prior exposure to this technology.
Basic science understanding of controller, drive, and motor technology will
be delivered. In addition, topics of open and close-loop control as well
as PID basics will be covered.
The participant will come away with hands-on experience in single and multi-axis
stepper and servo based motion control and will be prepared for the advanced
classes offered in the AS30 series. |

|
This course teaches servo motion control using the ControlLogix
platform from Allen Bradley.
Participants will learn the hardware and software configurations necessary
to produce 4 axis of analog control and 3 axis of digital control.
The MO2AE 2 axis motion control card is used in the ControlLogix for analog
control and the MO8Se 8-axis SERCOS controller for digital control.
