Modicon Unity M340 Controller 
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Module 131

Maintenance and troubleshooting of the M340 Unity Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) system requires a thorough understanding of the Unity hardware and Unity Pro software aspects of the system.  This course is designed to provide you with the necessary knowledge to troubleshoot and maintain your automation system.  M340 Unity system hardware layout, installation and configuration, along with basic programming concepts are discussed.  The M340 Unity programmable controller’s local and distributed Input / Output systems are included in this four (4) day course.
 Course Objectives
  • Understand the major functional components of the Modicon Unity programmable automation controller (PAC) system as it relates to your facility's installation.
  • Configure and layout a Modicon system including input/output modules, local and remote input/output drops and extended input/output drops.
  • Understand system addressing for discrete input/output bits, input/output words, and the differences and advantages Topological and State RAM addressing.
  • Evaluate communication methods Modbus serial, USB, Ethernet, wireless communications, Modbus Plus bridged to Ethernet and security settings for communications.
  • Discuss Unity file formats, project file extensions, archive files and application exchange files.
