Software Used: |
|
RSLogix 5, RSLogix 5000, and RSLinx Rockwell Software products. This class will be taught using Windows XP Professional. |
|
|
Course Description: |
|
This course is for those who already have a working knowledge of the PLC5 system, and need to understand the differences between the PLC5 and ControlLogix. This course will also cover how to convert a PLC5 project into a ControlLogix project. |
|
|
Prerequisites: |
|
Students who attend this class must have a working knowledge of the PLC5 system, and be comfortable working in a windows environment. |
|
|
Course Objectives: |
|
At the end of this course, students will:
Demonstrate an understanding of the differences between the PLC5, and ControlLogix.
They will be able to convert a project, and modify or add logic to an existing program.
Students will also be able to navigate through logic using the logic browser, and cross-referencing tools for the purpose of troubleshooting equipment. |

Outline: |
|
- Introduction and Pre-Test
- Overview of the fundamental differences between the PLC5 and ControlLogix
- ControlLogix Hardware (includes wiring)
- Input Module
- Output Module
- Power Supply
- Processor
- Communications
- Ethernet (IP Addressing, Ping, and Web Server (on board the Ethernet Module))
- DF1 (using a null-modem cable to connect the PC directly to the Processor)
- Tags
- Program Tags (Local to the program they reside in)
- Controller Tags (Global)
- Tasks
- Continuous (normal scan to PLC5) vs. Periodic (similar to the STI in PLC5)
- Scheduling programs within a Task (each program simulates an entire virtual PL5 with it's own main routine, sub routines, and program tag database)
- I/O Configuration
- Creating tags to use in Logic (a structure was already set up in the PLC5, but in ControlLogix, variables must be declared)
- The Instruction Set (This is very similar to the PLC5)
- Basic Instructions (XIO, XIC, OTE)
- Timer and Counter Instructions
- Analog instructions (and configuration of the analog module)
- User Defined Data Types (The PLC5 did not have this feature, but it can be used to organize data, and to make tags name more user-friendly)
- Converting a project from PLC5 or SLC to ControlLogix
- Troubleshooting
- Trending
- Cross Referencing (program navigation)
