Modicon ProWorx 32
Programming Software for Modicon PLCs
Module 107
ProWORX32 software for Modicon programmable automation controllers (PAC’s) is a Windows based application program that allows the user to program, monitor, troubleshoot, and document Modicon programmable controller logic programs. The software is intuitive and easy to implement and use. The software provides a functional overview of the Modicon hardware fundamentals and allows the differences in in the hardware platforms to be easily recognized and configured. The features, functions, and capabilities of the software are explained in relationship to programming, documentation and troubleshooting your Modicon programmable controllers. This is a (4) four-day course.
