Allen Bradley SLC-500 (Modules 1-3) Training Course

This module introduces students to the fundamental aspects of a SLC500 system. It begins with an overview of the architecture and migrates to an introduction to RSLogix500 software, the programming environment for the processor. Students will receive a basic understanding of a SLC500 project, including an introductory look at routines, data table files, and addressing. An overview of RSLinx software and configuring communication drivers to allow the computer to communicate to the various processors will also be covered. At the end of this module students will be comfortable identifying SLC500 components and will be able to reload a program into the system.

This module starts with an introduction to ladder logic fundamentals. Many of the core instruction sets for the SLC 500 processor are covered including timers, counters and comparison instructions. By the end of the lesson the student should feel comfortable editing ladder logic.

This module primarily introduces students to the essential maintenance and troubleshooting related tools available in RSLogix 500 software. The module begins with an overview of the math instructions in the SLC500, and then migrates into maintenance related topics such as searching, forcing and monitoring data.
