Recorded #8010 IndraLogic Gen1 Software Basics
This recorded course centers on the creation of a complete PLC project. It is broken down into 5 Modules, designed to familiarize the new user to the IndraLogic PLCopen programming environment. Subjects include program elements, task configurations, data types, variable types, program debug, and program monitoring.
Description
TARGET GROUP:
▶ Engineering Technician
▶ Maintenance Technician
▶ Electrician Operator
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
▶ Understand the IEC 61131 PLCopen specification
▶ Select the proper hardware targets
▶ Create a project, and operate within that project environment
▶ Use the Library Manager
▶ Write and debug programs in Structured Text, Function Block Diagram, Ladder Diagram, Instruction List, Sequential Function Chart, and Continuous Function Chart
▶ Understand Basic IEC–Step–Action commands in Sequential Function Chart programming
▶ Understand basic data types – DINT, BOOL, WORD, STRING, REAL, and more
▶ Understand and use various variable types – Global, System, and Local
▶ Understand Retain, Persistent, and Constant variable data
▶ Understand program jumps and labels
▶ Build, download, run, stop, and edit programs
▶ Learn how to assign Task Configurations, timing, and priorities to resources
▶ Use the Sampling Trace function for diagnostic monitoring and troubleshooting
▶ Use the Alarms function
▶ Learn how to save, import, and export project data
▶ Create process specific visualizations for monitoring and troubleshooting
With each succeeding module, different programs, function blocks, and visualization elements are created using all supported languages, i.e., Structured Text, Instruction List, Ladder Diagram, Function Block Diagram, Sequential Function Chart, and Continuous Function Chart. At the end of the course, the student will have created a fully functional and operational PLC project. This project will be run in a simulated environment that allows all programs to run on the student’s computer, without the need for any hardware devices.
Prerequisites
PREREQUISITES:
