Fundamentals of RSLogix5000 Lab Project Manual

Description

This is a good starting place to learn Programmable Logic/Automation Controllers. It starts from the most fundamental concepts and guides you step by step, creating a new project, adding I/O modules to your I/O configuration, creating tags and writing rungs of logic. With RS5000, you will have to invest in software and hardware. Most of the labs are written with CompactLogix and a few with ControlLogix. Keep in mind that almost anything that you can do with CompactLogix , you can also do with ControlLogix. Setting aside any differences in I/O part numbers, a 16 point digital output module serves the same basic functions in code whether it is a 1769 backplane or a 1756 backplane. The Complete PACLearn Series is the most effective, least expensive and yet, the most complete training package available in the Programmable Automation Controller arena. It must provide real hands on experience, not product feature demonstrations, all lab exercises need to be step by step and fully illustrated; the lab exercises must address the less apparent nature of the products as well as the obvious. Nothing builds confidence like seeing it work with a real PAC. It is also an exhaustive introduction to RSLogix5000 for the student, electrician, technician or engineer that is unfamiliar with the Rockwell Automation controllers that run the Logix engine and needs a quick start. A 346 page, full color, step by step guide. It covers the use of the RSLogix5000 graphical user interface, creating a new project, adding I/O modules to the I/O configuration, creating tags (variables) and using them with ladder logic diagrams. the most basic instructions are covered in depth, exposing the unapparent nature of ladder logic diagrams and these instruction while explaining the apparent function of these instructions. This manual covers, in detail, a practical application using conveyors as the object of your programming. You will write and test a realistic program to control these conveyors.
