Ideal for you if…

  • You are a technician or engineer and need to gain a strong working knowledge of the MicroLogix line of Allen-Bradley PLCs

  • MicroLogix line of Allen-Bradley PLCs You have some basic Allen-Bradley RSLogix programming experience but want to learn more advanced programming techniques by creating a program for a real-world packaging line example

  • You want to practice taking complex process descriptions and create PLC logic to create a functioning program to meet those requirements

Description

In this course, you will be exposed to more advanced instructions, configurations, and diagnostics for Alllen-Bradley Logix programming using RSLogix500 Micro and Emulate500 than in the Basic Course. A real-world packaging line and lane sorter project example will be used to demonstrate these advanced instructions and programming techniques that can be used on any Logix controller or version of RSLogix or Studio5000.

This course will cover additional CPU configuration that can be used for advanced troubleshooting and diagnostic use. Reporting techniques demonstrate how to document the ladder program and data files.

First-In First-Out (FIFO) instructions are presented that are used to store serial numbers for individual boxes as they pass through a size detection station and unload them as the boxes pass through a labelling station farther downstream. A lane diverter helps sort boxes by size, and multiple stack lights are actuated to provide operator awareness of the packing line operation.

Marcin Trojak

From my experience, I have to say that RealPars is the most professional online training program out there. The instructors are easy to follow and clearly explain PLC theories with excellent supporting visuals and real-life application examples. I like that they provide a summary after each lesson that brings together all the information and makes it easier to retain. Plus, I can train anytime, anywhere. I’m a maintenance apprentice right now, but when I complete RealPars training I’ll be ready to go after the PLC programming jobs I want.

Mohammad Khabazi

I work on electrical and instrument maintenance now, but my goal is to become a full-time PLC programmer. University courses take too much money and time. The RealPars video training method is great…the instructors are all experts and speak clearly so they keep my interest and are easy to follow. I’m eager to gain even more PLC expertise as new content is added.
