____________________________________________________________________________________________________Course Description: This course is an in depth study of the Allen Bradley CompactLogix system, and how to use RSLogix5000 programming software to program, monitor and troubleshoot a system. The primary focus will be on the processor memory structure, the intermediate instruction set, analog I/O modules and using the RSLogix5000 software. Students will learn all the data structures used across most industrial PLCs, as well a Tag based system, versus and address based system (SLC-500). Learning how the instructions work within a program will be a critical part of skills development for troubleshooting. A critical part of this course is learning how to search for objects in the L5000 project with RSLogix5000, as a method of increasing troubleshooting efficiency. Students will also learn of the different programming languages used for the ControlLogix platform (Ladder Logic, Structured Text, Sequential Function Charts).
