Plc (automation) training

Course Title: PLC Operation, Set-up, Programming and Troubleshooting 1

Overview

This “learn-by-doing’’ training focuses extensively on Programmable Logic
Controller (PLC) operation, wiring, programming and troubleshooting.
Lab exercises cover heavy hands-on practice on field devices, input/output
modules, wiring, and processor programming leading to in-depth knowledge of
troubleshooting and maintenance of automated machines. All lab exercises are
implemented and simulated with the aid of live field devices and a PLC trainer.
The exercises are applicable to motor control, process control, level control,
safety interlocking etc. as used in the industry.
Our course materials are presented with a good balance of theory lecture and
hands-on practice.

Objective

At the end of the training,participants will be able to
a. Understand PLC Control Principles and Applications with Field Devices
b. Identify and describe the functions of PLC components
c. Connect and Wire Field Devices to PLC Inputs and Outputs
d. Write PLC ladder logic programs
e. Troubleshoot Failed Input and Output Field Devices, Power Supplies, and
Processors
f. Interpret ladder logic for the purpose of troubleshooting
g. Solve real-life exercises and simulate control
h. Use and Configure a Delay Timer and Counter in a Controller
i. Connect a Power Device Using an Interposing Relay
j. Use the Programming Terminal to Troubleshoot Failed Field Devices
k. Determine Address Names for Input and Output Points
l. Use Symbolic Addressing to Speed Development and Troubleshooting
m. Use Address and Function Searches within the Program

Course Outline: The course is taught under five modules as illustrated below

Module 1

This module introduces students to the basics of PLC and its theory of
operation. It discusses in details PLC construction and components. Students
will also get hands-on practice on wiring PLCs to input and output devices.

Lessons

PLC Basics and theory of operation
PLC construction and components
Selection criteria of PLC
Concept of Normally Open & Normally Closed Switches and sensors
PLC wiring
Hands-on practical exercises and simulation

Module 2

This module introduces students to the fundamental aspects of Allen-
Bradley’s Micrologix 1000/SLC 500 system. It begins with a system overview
and migrates to an introduction to RSLogix 500 software;the programming
environment for the processor.
An overview of RSLinx software and configuring communication drivers to
allow the computer to communicate to the various processors will be covered.

Lessons
