PLC5 & SLC500 with RSLogix Advanced

Learn to:

Work with analog functions expertly.
Interpret high speed data handling from encoders.

Does your maintenance department have the most effective skills in PLC troubleshooting?

Following our PLC Troubleshooting I course, this three-day course emphasizes continuous process and analog applications. The course is conducted using RSLogix and Step 7 software and our lab of PLCs with I/O training panels. Detailed instructor demonstrations are given using hardware and software simulators. Hands on student labs are used extensively. Material is customized to reflect specific site processes.

Each participant will also use an exposed low voltage circuitry lab kit along with a simulator that presents visual layouts and animations of actual manufacturing and process machinery, which trainees use to solve mill/plant problems and complete their application exercises.
