Technicians Guide to Troubleshooting: Programmable Logic Controllers
Registration Information
Programmable Logic Controllers– ELC 182
Monday May 19, 2008 8:00am-4:00pm $895
Seminar Location: Seminar is held at Joliet Junior College’s Main Campus, Room T-1008, 1215 Houbolt Road, Joliet, Illinois.
Seminar Description: Designed for individuals who have some background with PLCs or have completed the PLC Level I seminar, this seminar will upgrade attendees’ knowledge of PLCs. Focus is on the development of PLC control applications for troubleshooting and non-relay functions (data transfer, data manipulation, math, etc.). Also, attendees will look at new technologies in the PLC marketplace. The pace of the seminar will be keyed to attendees’ needs. Allen Bradley PLCs are used for hands-on instruction; however, the seminar format is generic.
You will learn
- How to wire external devices to input and output numerical and alpha numeric data from the data table to demonstrate knowledge of multi-bit I/O.
- How to use analog I/O to program and wire both analog in and analog out modules.
- How to modify the size of the data table both manually and automatically, summarizing data table layout and memory mapping.
- How to program scan modifiers available on a given PLC.
- How to solve control problems using math functions available on a given PLC.
- How to solve control problems using PLC data manipulation functions (>, <, = , etc.) on a given PLC.
- How to solve control problems using PLC data transfer functions (Move, Mask Move, File Fill, etc.) on a given PLC.
- How to solve control problems using PLC compare functions (Sequence Compare, etc.) on a given PLC.
- How to solve control problems using sequencing and shift register functions (Sequence Out, Sequence Load, Bit Shift, etc.).
- How to generate a complete documentation package for a given PLC, identifying how the documentation is to be used for troubleshooting and summarizing the application of each piece of hard copy documentation.
- How to use PLC search, force and emulate capabilities to solve control problems or troubleshoot a given application.
