This course is designed to advance a plant technician’s knowledge and skills in the use of the ControlLogix PLC platform. Participants will learn to work with complex data types and instructions. A series of analog projects will be completed with the I/O panels to increase comfort and familiarity with analog cards and settings.
Unique features based around internal messages and inter-PLC communications will be covered.
This course is taught using a ControlLogix software simulation environment and with ControlLogix PLC experiment stations with I/O panels.
