COURSE DESCRIPTION

Concept software is a Windows application that allows the user to program, monitor, troubleshoot, and document Modicon Quantum and Momentum programmable controller systems. If you were a previous user of a DOS based programming software package, the effective use of Concept software requires a basic understanding of Windows based software concepts.

This course provides an overview of the Windows fundamentals and identifies the differences in functionality to DOS based programming packages. The features, functions, and capabilities of the Concept software are explained in relationship to programming, documenting, and troubleshooting Modicon Quantum and Momentum programmable controllers.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
•	Understand the major functional components of the Modicon programmable controller system as it relates to a facility's installation.
•	Configure and layout a Modicon system, including input/output modules and local and remote input/output systems.
•	Understand system addressing inputs, outputs, input registers, and output/holding registers.
•	Evaluate communication methods, including discrete, binary, binary coded decimal, analog encoders, serial, and parallel.
•	Discuss various field input/output devices such as contacts, relays, limit switches, LED displays, thumbwheels, transducers, thermocouple, RTDs, ASCII, and TTL.
•	Understand how field inputs and outputs relate to the control system.
•	Learn to build and test basic automation control circuits involving relays, timers, and counters, and calculate functions.
•	Document and add comments to a program for ease of understanding and future reference.
•	Upload and download existing programs to and from magnetic storage media.
•	Learn to use the programming computer as a diagnostic and troubleshooting tool.
•	Identify important environmental problems that may adversely affect the performance of the system. Distinguish between hardware problems, software problems, and field problems.
•	Use system diagnostics to identify and pinpoint faults in the system.
•	Isolate problems at all levels of the system and determine the course of action.
•	Disassemble, reassemble, and start up a controller from dim awareness.
•	Discuss, demonstrate, and test important safety considerations related to a PLC system.
