Description

This course covers basic programmable logic controller ladder logic instructions and basic programming techniques utilizing the AB RSLogix 500 software. Students will learn step-by-step procedures for approaching and completing a programming task as well as editing existing programs. This includes: • Detailed training on 48 instructions to include bit level • Timer/counter • Comparison • Arithmetic • Logic • Data manipulation • Program control operations.

Learning Outcome

 Upon completion of this course the student will be able to:

• Using an Allen-Bradley programmable logic controller, a personal computer with RSLogix software and a Machine Specification, the student will prepare, develop, download, test and print reports for a program that demonstrates functional understanding of the following 48 PLC instructions.
• Bit Level Instructions: OSF, OSR, OTE, OTL, OUT, XIC, XIO
• Timer and Counter Instructions: CTD, CTU, RES, RTO, TOF, TON
• Compare Instructions: EQU, GEQ, GRT, LEQ, LES, LIM, MEQ, NEQ
