Programmable Logic Controller RSLogix 500 (2 PDH's for PE's)

Master the RSLogix 500 programmable logic controller basics by learning PLC architecture, the scan cycle, inputs and outputs, and ladder logic programming.

Investigate ladder diagrams and relay logic, featuring OR and AND gates, buffers, and scan cycle control, while mastering binary, octal, and hexadecimal numbering and decimal conversions.

Convert binary numbers to decimal by summing powers of two, using examples such as 10 binary and 1 0 1 1 1, for RSLogix 500 PLC training.

Explore converting binary to decimal using a calculator, switch between standard, scientific, and programmer modes to view hex, octal, and binary representations, and perform basic arithmetic.

Explore RS Logix 500 by examining a 16-bit word in binary, octal, decimal, hex, and ASCII, and learn to create, edit, download, and switch to run mode for Task 1.

Convert numbers between binary, decimal, and octal, and explore binary coded decimal concepts used in RSLogix 500 for PLC inputs. Examine four-bit groupings and their decimal equivalents.

Explore how the RS Logix 500 add instruction manipulates a 16-bit word, converts between octal and decimal, and contrasts it with other instructions like move for practical programming.

Explore converting octal to decimal, understand negative exponents in decimal fractions, and master hexadecimal base 16, with 16-bit system limits and analog input/output scaling in RSLogix 500.

Convert numbers across decimal, binary, octal, and hex using a chart, then learn Boolean operations with AND, OR, NAND, NOR, inverter, and gate truth tables.

Explore ladder logic concepts in RSLogix 500, demonstrating and/or operations with inputs a and b, output y, and the role of comments for organized programming.

Apply boolean identities to simplify ladder logic while using RSLogix 500 software, and compare PLC hardware options, memory, I/O modules, rack sizes, and costs.

Explore RS Logix 500 PLC wiring inputs and outputs, ladder diagrams, and series and parallel logic with normally open/closed contacts, coils, and set/reset.

Master RSLogix 500 basics with one-shot rising, latch and unlatch behavior, and normally open/closed contacts; learn timers, counters, data files, scaling, and comparison instructions.

Explore RSLogix 500 concepts, translating boolean identities into ladder logic, understanding data files, timers, counters, and compute and scale functions for PLC programming.
