ControlLogix System – Studio 5000 Designer Software Training

The Understanding and Troubleshooting ControlLogix Systems Training Series contains 10 modules which cover the most critical and fundamental ControlLogix skills that every maintenance technician needs to know, resulting in more efficient and effective troubleshooting and increased business competitiveness.

This training programme was designed specifically for Maintenance personnel to sharpen their troubleshooting skills in a ControlLogix environment. This is the most complete and comprehensive training programme on the understanding and troubleshooting of a ControlLogix system, a series that provides approximately 40 hours of instructional material and assessments. Just one troubleshooting solution of the many presented in the programme can help your employees save several tens of thousands of dollars in downtime to the plant

There are 10 modules:

Module 1 Introduction to the ControlLogix—General Structure, Number Systems, and Basics of Boolean Logic
Module 2 ControlLogix Hardware Composition, I/O Structure and Architecture—Introduction to Tags
Module 3 Navigating the Studio 5000 Software and Creating, Opening and Understanding Projects
Module 4 Connecting to the Controller—Establishing RSLinx Connection to the Network
Module 5 ControlLogix Project Organization and Frequently Used Tag Structures
Module 6 Troubleshooting Ladder Diagram Logic in the ControlLogix System
Module 7 Creating and Editing Tags and Code—Documenting Troubleshooting Changes
Module 8 Troubleshooting Using the Studio 5000 Software—Using I/O Forcing and Toggling Functions
Module 9 Troubleshooting ControlLogix Hardware—Discrete and Analog I/O

This course is designed specifically for Maintenance personnel to sharpen their troubleshooting skills in a ControlLogix environment.

The ControlLogix Training Series has 10 courses that cover the most critical and fundamental skills that everyone who is involved with a ControlLogix system in a manufacturing plant maintenance department needs to know.
Technicians going through the programme will:
Thoroughly understand the integrated architecture of the ControlLogix system so that we can troubleshoot the whole system
Know how the Studio 5000 is also a great tool for troubleshooting a system
ControlLogix hardware composition which provides a solid foundation on input and output addressing and “tag” referencing
Create a project based on the fundamentals of the hardware composition and architecture and how it relates to the inputs and outputs that we troubleshoot in a control system,
How we establish proper communication and connection with a controller to download a project and go on-line in order to troubleshoot any problems in the system.
Project organization and the understanding of frequently used tag structures
Ladder structure and basic instructions that we will need to understand to properly troubleshoot programming code
Creating and editing tags and code and deal with the importance of documenting our troubleshooting changes in the system.
Troubleshooting using the Studio 5000 software and learn how to use several special programme control instructions for testing and troubleshooting sections of ControlLogix code.
Troubleshooting discrete and analog I/O hardware components and the importance of understanding module configuration to avoid problems during troubleshooting.
Remote I/O subsystems as well as troubleshooting the controller and power supply.
Use of the forcing and toggling functions when troubleshooting.
How to solve other potential problems that we can face during troubleshooting such as noise and interference in the system as well as heat.
Use of the “Trending” function to troubleshoot a system.
How to use the “Compare Projects” tool to compare two ControlLogix projects to find the differences.
