ControlLogix Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Length:
4 days
Tuition:
$1,600 (U.S.) plus 6% CT Sales Tax

Course Purpose:

The ControlLogix architecture is a part of the next generation of control systems from Rockwell Automation. The Logix5000 controller offers increased flexibility for program development and the 1756 I/O modules provide enhanced diagnostics and functionality. This course provides the delegate with the necessary information and hands-on experience to efficiently interpret, troubleshoot and recommend a course of action for a standalone installation in a downtime situation.

Course Objectives:

Upon completion of the course the delegate will be able to:

- Recognize the major components and connections of a ControlLogix system.
- Appreciate the basic principles of operation of the system.
- Use RSLogix 5000 software as a faultfinding tool.
- Download a backup copy of a Logix5550 application into an empty/new processor.
- Interpret common relay ladder-logic instructions and program flow.
- Modify control parameters such as Timer and Counter presets.
- Adjust 1756 I/O module parameters such as analog deadbands.
- Modifying and document ladder logic programs with RSLogix 5000.

Who Should Attend:

This course is designed for individuals who are responsible for troubleshooting and maintaining a control system using the ControlLogix Logix5550 programmable controller. Delegates planning to fully develop new ControlLogix applications should attend course CCP143," Programming Logix5000 Systems Using RSLogix 5000 Software". This course does not cover the motion control module, which is covered in the motion contol courses.

Prerequisites:

Experience of maintaining electrical controlled systems including an appreciation of where programmable controllers are used. Delegates must be able to perform basic Microsoft® tasks, such as using a mouse, locating files, and opening, closing, sizing and moving windows. Familiarity with RSLogix 5 or 500 software is an advantage, but not necessary.

Topical Outline:

- Identifying ControlLogix system components.
- Getting started with the basics of RSLogix 5000 software.
- Going online, downloading and saving Logix5550 applications.
- Interpreting 1756 digital I/O addresses.
- Interpreting basic Relay Ladder Logic instructions and addresses.
- Interpreting Timer and Counter instructions and addresses.
- Working with 1756 digital & analog I/O module properties and configuration screens.
- Interpreting comparison instructions.
- Forcing digital & analog inputs and outputs using RSLogix 5000.
- Interpreting move and mathematical instructions.
- Interpreting program control instructions.
- Configuring Trends for online monitoring.
- Documenting an application using RSLogix 5000.
- Working with Program scoped tags and aliases. Editing and modifying ladder logic.
- Reviewing Controller properties, GSV instructions and status information.
- Searching and Cross-referencing Ladder Logic using RSLogix 5000.

Interchangeable Insulgrip® Pin & Sleeve Devices Home
Hubbell Wiring Device-Kellems Introduces Interchangeable Insulgrip® Pin & Sleeve Devices
Hubbell offers users a choice of two approaches to grounding the pin & sleeve devices, both meeting the requirements of the National Electrical Code that noncurrent carrying metallic components be grounded. Among key features are heavy duty cord grip that handle a wide range of cable sizes while preventing conductor movement that can impose strain on the terminals. In addition, anti-vibration box terminals provide high clamping pressure on conductors while preventing the terminations from loosening. UL Type 4X watertight performance is assured with a watertight cord entrance and connectors and receptacles with spring-loaded gasketed covers.       More information
