PLC Wiring & Troubleshooting Training
With this instructor-led training, you can have confidence in troubleshooting the PLC’s ladder logic using Logix5000 software. Participants will walk through locating and replacing a faulty input or output device and wiring the input and output (I/O) field devices to the PLC. Get hands-on experience wiring your own PLC trainer, including use of photo-electric and inductive proximity sensors, selector switches, pushbuttons, contactors, indicator lamps and the DC Power Supply.
Upon completion of this 4-day course, attendees will gain 32 professional development hours and a solid foundation for Rockwell Automation Studio 5000/Control Logix courses. All training materials will be provided.
Cost: $2,100 per student
