Allen Bradley ControlLogix/Compact First Line Maintenance Using RSLogix 5000 Software
Course overview
Manufacturers are increasingly facing greater pressures to reduce costs and maintain efficiency whilst also maximising output. These problems are further challenged when it comes to arranging shift patterns to release essential production line staff for training.
This problem can be eased, as we now offer you three day courses rather than our more traditional five day courses on Allen Bradley ntrolLogix/CompactLogix PLCs. Our new three day course enables you to maintain your efficiency levels with the minimum of disruption, whilst also providing focused learning.
The Allen Bradley ControlLogix/CompactLogix PLC First Line Maintenance course equips maintenance personnel with the essential knowledge and skills to identify and maintain ControlLogix/CompactLogix PLCs and component parts, to be able to connect a PC to access and monitor the live program and to be
able to perform basic maintenance duties including the backup and restore of programs.
Target Group
All engineering personnel involved with maintenance and servicing of automated systems controlled by Allen Bradley ControlLogix/CompactLogix using RSLogix 5000 Software.
