Course Purpose

This skill-building course provides you with the necessary practice needed to interpret, isolate, and diagnose common hardware problems related to noise, power, and discrete  and analog I/O. In troubleshooting scenarios, you will be introduced to basic ladder logic interpretation, which is applied to diagnostic tasks.

You will practice these diagnostic skills by tracing through ladder logic instructions in an RSLogix 500® project. An integrated practice of multiple troubleshooting skills completes the training.


Who Should Attend

Individuals who are responsible for troubleshooting and maintaining SLC™ 500 systems using RSLogix 500 software should attend this course.

Prerequisites

To successfully complete this course, the following prerequisites are required:

  • Experience maintaining electrically controlled systems
  • Working knowledge of programmable controllers or completion of the PLC-5/SLC 500 and RSLogix Fundamentals course (CCP122)
  • Experience operating a personal computer within aMicrosoft Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME,Windows NT, or Windows XP environment

Technology Requirements

All technology is provided for student use in the classroom by Rockwell Automation. It is not necessary for students to bring any technology with them when attending this course.

 

Student Materials

To enhance and facilitate your learning experience, the following materials are provided as part of the course package.

  • Student Manual includes the key concepts, definitions, examples, and activities presented in this course
  • Lab Guide includes the hands-on exercises
  • RSLogix 500 and SLC 500 Procedures Guide provides all the steps required to complete common RSLogix 500 software tasks, including the tasks in the exercises. By following the procedures in this job aid, you can immediately apply what is learned in the course to your own job.
  • SLC 500 and RSLogix 500 Troubleshooting Guide contains diagnostic procedures that efficiently lead the userto possible maintenance and troubleshooting solutions

Hands-on Practice

Diagnostic and problem-solving skills are sharpened through hands-on exercises using a troubleshooting guide and an SLC 500 processor linked to an interactive I/O simulator. Throughout the course, you will maintain and troubleshoot a real-world RSLogix 500 project that controls a simulated, two-compressor, cooling unit.

Next Level Learning

Once you have mastered the maintaining and troubleshooting skills covered in this course, you may want to expand your logic and programming knowledge by attending the SLC 500 and RSLogix 500 Programming course (CCPS41).
