Content
Powering up and operating the programmer and programmable controller
Representation of STEP 5 operations in the form of control system flowchart (CSF), ladder diagram (LAD), or statement list (STL)
Logic operations, result of the logic operation, memory functions, counter functions, comparison functions, timer functions, arithmetic operation
PG functions for program documentation
Absolute and symbolic addressing
PG functions for tests, diagnostics and troubleshooting
Action in case of faults in the RUN status and faults leading to the stop status
Starting characteristics, organisation blocks for cold restart and warm restart
Configuration, addressing facilities and performance characteristics of the CPU's
Programming of program blocks, function blocks, organisation blocks and data blocks and linking with the program structure
The theoretical contents are applied in practice by means of practic-eoriented task and intensive exercises on the programmers and the programmable controller. They are continuously applied and tested on a conveyor model
Prerequisites
The ability to use a PC Keyboard and Mouse to open and close programs.
