Introduction4:23

Communicating between Computer and PLC using RSlinx11:35
Communication between Computer and PLC.
In this lecture, you will see the importance of RSlinx.
I will show you how to configure the correct driver for the communication being used.
You will also learn how to configure an OPC topic for communication with other software.
Without this, communication will never be established. Extremely important.

Mov, COP and FLL Instructions.3:26
There are similarities between these instructions, but also important differences. Here you will learn which to use for a specific purpose.
Mov, COP and FLL Instructions. Demonstration.7:24
This lesson will show you exactly how to configure these instructions.
BTD instructions.6:48
In this lecture, you will learn how to
Copy selected bits from one INT or DINT to a different tag.
Change the position of bits within an INT or DINT
Copy selected bits within an INT or DINT to a different position within the same tag.
This is useful when bits within certain devices are not in an ideal position to use in the project.
BTD Summary1:17
BTD Instructions

Programming an MSG CIP Data Table Read.8:10
You will see how to
Transfer data from one controller to another using a MSG instruction.
How to configure the MSG and execute the message.
Creating the communication path.
This is useful when the data is not urgent or is only required at certain intervals.
Programming an MSG CIP Generic instruction6:04
Here, you will see how to.
Configure a generic MSG to carry out certain tasks.
How Latched Diagnostics can be reset.
Many other functions can also be configured.
Extremely useful for resetting I/O modules after a fault has occurred and been cleared.
Message Creation Summary3:17
Message Instruction Quiz

Creating a User Defined Tag Data Type.9:26
How to create and use a User Defined Data Type(UDT)
Creating a UDT from all available existing data types.
Creating tags using a UDT as the data type.
Creating tag arrays from a UDT tag.
Extremely useful for specific applications within a project.
Arrays, User Defined Data Types and Alias Names. Additional.13:10
User Defined Data Types Summary.2:02
User Defined Data types

Creating and Using a Produced and Consumed Tag.10:04
You will learn how to.
Create a produced tag to be used by multiple consumers
Create a path in the Consuming controller to the Producing controller.
Create a consumed tag pointing to the Produced tag.
This is useful when you wish to use data from one controller in one or more consuming controllers giving you constantly varying data, unlike a message.
Produced and Consumed Tag Summary.1:44
Produced and Consumed Tags.

Creating and Using GSV and SSV instructions in the Ladder Program.11:28
How to use GSV and SSV instructions.
Using a GSV to get certain system values.
Using an SSV to set certain system values.
Configuring a fault routine.
System status values are not continuously scanned within RSlogix5000. They are obtained or changed only when you need them. Here you will see how.
Using GSV and SSV Instructions in a Fault Routine.15:56
Using GSV and SSV instructions in a fault Routine.
You can use these instructions with others to create a Fault Routine.
The fault routine can be configured to prevent the controller going to fault mode.
The fault record will be obtained with a GSV and the value set with an SSV.
GSV and SSV Summary.2:34
GSV and SSV Instructions

Creating and Using Add-On Instructions.4:33
Here you will learn.
How to configure Local Tags and Parameters within an Add-On instruction.
How to configure the Logic within an Add-On instruction.
The difference between Local tags and Parameters.
Add-On instructions are used extensively within projects and can save lots of development time if similar logic is used extensively within a project or projects. Here you will see how.
Demonstration Creating an Add-On Instruction16:21
Here you will see the steps necessary to create an Add-On instruction
Add On Instruction Summary.2:33
Add On Instructions

Searching and Cross Reference Online for Fault Finding.11:36
Searching and adding descriptions is invaluable for fault finding. Although we have tag names instead of addresses which makes things easier, a full rung or tag description is extremely helpful.
You will learn how to:
Locate all references to a tag.
Replace a tag.
Cross reference a tag with all parts of a project.
Creating and Using L5k Files.7:29
The default saving format extension is .ACD. The L5K format has the effect of compressing a file for saving to an external source and is saved in a Text format. You can use this format to change a revision downwards which you cannot do in an open ACD project.

Requirements

Computer literacy, knowledge of PLC s in general and knowledge of RS Studio 5000 in particular. Completion of the course Basic ladder programming using Logix5000 will be an advantage.
This is not a course for beginners. Ensure your basic knowledge by taking the. RS Studio 5000 Training Using PLC Ladder Logic. Basic

Description

This course covers the Studio 5000 PLC Advanced Ladder Logic Training and is for any of you who has some knowledge of Studio 5000 Programming Techniques in any of the 4 platforms where it is used. This software, and the Rockwell Automation platforms that use it, is very powerful and for me is my PLC software and hardware of choice, Very user-friendly.

I shall be your instructor during this training and I have had many years practical experience creating projects and programming PLC's, HMI's, commissioning, and face-to-face training. I also possess a SAQA Further Education and Training Certificate: Measurement, Control and Instrumentation. This is South African but recognized in many countries internationally.

This course is quite advanced so it is not for the novice. It will be to your advantage if you have previously completed the course, Studio 5000 Ladder Logic Training. Basic.

I will show you how to create a project and use programming techniques utilizing the more Advanced instructions

Who Should Take This Course?

This Studio 5000 PLC Advanced Ladder Logic Training course is designed as a course for users who have had exposure to Studio 5000 but on a basic to intermediate level.
This course is also strongly recommended if you wish to improve your programming knowledge.
This is an advanced course, so if you are a novice user of RS Studio 5000, take the Studio 5000 Ladder Logic Training. Basic first.

Listed below are some of the topics I will cover with you in this course.

Refresher: You will learn how to establish communication between computer and PLC using RSlinx.
Using Bit Shift instructions.
Configuring Message instructions.
Creating Produced and Consumed tags.
Programming a CPT and a CMP instruction.
How to create User Defined Data Types.
The purpose of GSV and SSV instructions.
Add-On Instructions.

This is just a short description explaining what you will learn but there is a lot more that you will learn if you take the Studio 5000 PLC Advanced Ladder Logic Training.

There are a number of quizzes that you can complete after each section to help you reinforce your knowledge and gain confidence using the software. There are also some practical labs for you to complete.

At the end of the course, you will feel confident creating and running a project, interrogating an existing project and carrying out necessary changes to a running operation.

The majority of the course consists of video tutorials where I will explain all the different aspects of RS Studio 5000 and demonstrate the use of the software for each of these aspects.

The more you can use the software, the better you will be, Then the next course which will cover Function Block Diagrams and SFC's, will be of real benefit to you.

So if you are really serious about learning Logix5000 using platforms such as controllogix, compactlogix or even Softlogix and you have reasonable knowledge of the software, then this course is for you. Enroll on this course and you can be learning Today.
