COURSE DESCRIPTION

Maintaining, troubleshooting, and programming your programmable logic control system requires a thorough understanding of all aspects of the control system. This maintenance and troubleshooting course provides students with a fundamental understanding of the installation, configuration, and layout of the Allen-Bradley Logix (ControlLogix) family of PLCs.

Troubleshooting and maintenance procedures are covered for the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, FlexLogix, and CompactLogix programmable controller and their associated input/output (I/O) systems. In addition, programming concepts covering Contact, Coil, Timer, Counter, and Compare instructions are introduced. Issues and concepts related to migrating from the PLC-5 to the SLC-500 based control systems are also discussed.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
•	Understand the major functional components of the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix programmable control system as it relates to your facility’s installation.
•	Discuss design considerations for system architecture, processor selection, input/output module type selection, power supply selection, and communication system layout.
•	Cover rules for chassis, processor, adapter, power supply, and input/output module placement.
•	Consider issues relevant when replacing existing controller, power supplies, chassis, and modules.
•	Determine the meaning of LED indicator lights, jumpers, and dip or rotary switch positions on processors, modules, power supplies, and chassis.
•	Discuss battery purpose, replacement procedures, and environmental considerations for disposal.
•	Understand the differences and capabilities of Local, Universal Remote, DeviceNet, ControlNet, and Ethernet I/O systems.
•	Discuss field devices and signal types and levels pertaining to I/O module selection.
•	Understand the relationship between field devices, I/O modules, and I/O addressing.
•	Cover configuration and impact of I/O update options related to change-of-state, requested packet interval, and real-time sampling.
•	Become familiar with the memory layout and configuration of the Logix (ControlLogix) processor, tags, data types, tasks, programs, and routines.
•	Design, build, test, and troubleshoot ladder logic control circuits involving Contact, Coil, Timer, Counter, and Compare instructions.
•	Use the programming software as a diagnostic and troubleshooting tool.
•	Know the difference between online and offline programming.
•	Document and organize your programs for easy future reference.
•	Upload and download existing programs to and from the personal computer and a Logix (ControlLogix) processor.
•	Use the programming software as a diagnostic and troubleshooting tool.
•	Isolate hardware and software problems from field device problems.
•	Use system diagnostics to identify and pinpoint faults in the system.
•	Develop a thorough understanding of, and the safety issues related to, Forcing in the Logix (ControlLogix) family of PLCs.
•	Discuss appropriate safety issues. (Is the circuit really off??)
