RSLogix/Studio5000 Training Using PLC Ladder Logic. Basic
What you'll learn
- Students will learn how to create a PLC project and program using the RSLogix5000 platform. By the end of this course, you will be able to create a PLC program from scratch. The objective of this course is to give beginners an understanding and knowing the difference between programming a normal PLC and a PLC using RSlogix/Studio5000 ladder logic language. The differences are significant. For instance, tags are used. Not addresses. There are many more which will be covered during the training.

Description
This course covering the RSlogix/Studio5000 ladder logic PLC Training Basic is for any of you who may have used or had exposure to a conventional PLC, but with little or no exposure to RSLogix/Studio5000 used in any of the 4 platforms where it is used. It is also for First Time Users with very basic knowledge of PLC's generally. 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.
The course will start by introducing you to the 4 platforms using RSlogix5000 and explaining the differences.
Next, I will cover with you the steps taken to create a RSlogix5000 project and make it work.
Who should Take This Course?
This RSLogix/Studio5000 ladder logic PLC Training Basic course is designed as an introductory course for users who have had exposure to PLC ladder programming but limited or no exposure to RSLogix/Studio5000.
This course is also strongly recommended if you are a user of PLC5 or SLC500 and you are upgrading to Controllogix or Compactlogix and you will then be a new user.
This is an introductory course, so if you are an experienced user of RSLogix/Studio5000 you might get bored.
Listed below are some of the topics I will cover with you in this course.
An explanation of all the different platforms using the RSLogix/Studio5000 software.
I will show you how to create a RSlogix/Studio5000 project from scratch.
You will learn the scheduling mechanism used by RSLogix/Studio5000 in the form of Tasks, Programs and Routines.
Setting up and navigating the software will teach you the functions of the toolbars and setting up the color scheme preferred by you.
How can the program flow within a project behave? I will show you using instructions such as JSR, MCR and others.
You will learn how to program a ladder routine using the most popular instructions such as Bits, Timers, Counters and many others.
I will show you how to create Tasks, Programs and Routines.
You will learn how to establish communication between computer and PLC using RSlinx.
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 RSLogix/Studio5000 ladder logic PLC Training. Basic.
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 with a solution attached where I will be demonstrating my solution.
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 RSLogix/Studio5000 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 advanced options of RSLogix/Studio5000, will be of real benefit to you.
So if you are really serious about learning RSLogix5000 using platforms such as Controllogix, Compactlogix or even Softlogix then this course is for you. Enroll on this course and you can be learning Today.
Who this course is for:
- Electrical and instrumentation technicians and engineers, Control systems specialists. Anyone currently using a different PLC and is in the process of changing to RSlogix/Studio5000. This is not for computer programmers or web designers.
Instructor
I was born in the UK, Educated in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. I am married with 1 daughter, also married and I now have 2 grandchildren.
I studied at Chesterfield College of Technology up to National Certificate level in electrical engineering as well as serving a full 5-year apprenticeship as an Instrument Mechanic. This was followed by an extensive UK career.
In 1981, I was offered a position as Instrument Foreman with Sasol, Secunda and this is when I emigrated with my family to South Africa. I was responsible for all instrumentation issues on 5 Sasol units.
After Sasol, in 1991, I moved to Johannesburg where I was employed at Babcock Engineering and Davy International as Senior Instrument Engineer, overseeing projects in Botswana and in the steel industry.
I obtained my first fulltime training position at Fisher Rosemount as Training Manager. presenting courses on the DeltaV and RS3 DCS systems.
I was then offered a position as Training Consultant with Rockwell Automation with whom I have been associated 18 years even since official retirement. I recently completed a long-term commissioning assignment for Rockwell USA in Nigeria, commissioning a power management system for a gas to liquid project at Escravos.
In 2005, I spent time in Germany at Hirschmann who are one of the world leaders in Ethernet technology. I was the first certified Hirschmann trainer in the whole of Africa.
I have completed many courses over the years on Instrumentation, Fisher Control Valves, All the Rockwell systems and networks. In addition, I have received training on Compressor Control, DeltaV DCS and RS3 DCS systems.
My experience is very extensive across many instrumentation and control system fields, particularly PLC’s, Networks and HMI’s.
Throughout my career, I have travelled extensively mainly in Sub Saharan Africa and the Middle East, specifically Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait. In Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Mali, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Botswana. In 2019, I was on assignment in Eritrea giving training on Hirschmann technology. I have also spent some time in Egypt.
