Numbering Systems and Codes used in PLCs

The PLCTrainer includes a Laboratory Manual full of proven practical applications that allow the student to understand the PLC's Instruction Set. The screens demonstrating the Instructions have the look and feel of RSLogix. If you own a copy of RSLogix, you can open it from within The PLCTrainer!

The mathematical relationships involved with PLC analog inputs and outputs are covered.

The course provides PLC SCL [Scale instruction] examples with practical, easy-to-understand examples.

This course also provides examples of the SCP or Scale with Parameters instruction. It includes practical, easy-to-understand examples.

Example of troubleshooting exercises. The more you practice PLC troubleshooting, the more significant your skill increases and the less downtime you have. This PLC training software provides a safe environment in which to practice. The entire application also includes narration!

Realistic "Works Orders" are displayed on the screens that require the technician to troubleshoot a PLC-managed automation system!

The PLCTrainer also includes an extensive Glossary of terms standard to PLC technology.

The tutorial comes with an interactive, self-scoring Final Exam!

The student can print a certificate of completion along with the interactive "self-scoring" final exam.

The score and student name are saved automatically in the "student log file" in the Site and Enterprise licensed versions.) The student's name and final score are also in a colon-delimited text file for importing into a database or spreadsheet application. So, the site/enterprise license purchasing options are perfect for Tech Schools, Community Colleges, Universities, Apprenticeship Programs, and company training departments.

This course includes a Laboratory Manual full of college-proven and tested programming assignments. The Lab Manual is in Adobe PDF format that you can print.

Older equipment uses thumbwheels for data entry. (After all, industrial equipment can last for decades.) The Binary Coded Decimal instructions FRD and TOD are handy in dealing with them. They are also convenient for learning BCD.

Data manipulation instructions, like the FIFO load and unload example pictured here, are explained with interactive PLC simulations.

Video Animations illustrate some complex concepts so that technicians can better relate code to the real world.

Professor Bill’s LadderLab software formerly known as LogixPro^™ was the ideal tool for learning the fundamentals of RSLogix^™ ladder logic programming. The look, feel, and operation of the ladder rung editor so closely mimic Allen Bradley's RSLogix 500^® software that many needed a second look to be sure which editor they're using. The new PLCLogix^® 500 simulator is built on the same platform with more simulations, details, and functionality. You can run LaderLab/LogixPro programs on the PLCLogix 500 simulator.

This PLC training course is a prerequisite to the RSLogix 5000 Training Course.
