Course OutlineModule 1This module takes a fundamental approach to a ControlLogix system. It begins with an overview of the architecture and migrates into an introduction of RSLogix 5000, the programming environment. Students will learn how to setup communications to the PLC using RSLinx, download and upload projects, as well as determine the modes of the CPU. This module presents the fundamentals of memory management with a discussion of the tag database. The module ends with instruction on configuring the digital I/O modules. Lessons - Course Introduction

Module 2This module introduces configuration of analog I/O modules. Program basics and project structure in tasks, programs and routines is covered which leads to being able to search and use the cross reference tools effectively. Students will learn a variety of methods for editing ladder logic. Finally, a presentation of relay and timer instructions meets the needs of programmers and maintenance personnel.
