Become a master at solving programmable controller applications without having to buy thousands of dollars of motors, conveyors, sensors, and control panels by taking our Mastering Micro800 Applications using Factory IO online course.
Those who want to become proficient programming control systems often find themselves trying to simulate complex operations with lights, buttons, and switches, as most can't afford to build or purchase physical test systems that cost thousands of dollars.
But with our Mastering Applications course, and a trial or paid license of Factory IO (sold separately,) students can use their existing Micro800 or Simulated Micro800 programmable controller and CCW programming software (neither included with course) to learn how to solve several fully simulated factory applications.
Factory I/O is a unique software tool that simulates over twenty factory applications, allowing students of our Mastering Applications using Factory I/O course to forgo purchasing physical motors, conveyors, sensors, and operator panels, and instead use the simulated applications found in Factory I/O.
Students do this by using their own Logix controller and RSLogix/Studio 5000 programming software (purchased separately – not included with online course) with either the free 30 Day Trial Version or a Licensed copy of Factory IO (sold separately.)
Note: If you purchase a Factory I/O license from The Automation School, it comes bundled with a Mastering Applications using Factory IO course at no additional charge!
And because we value our student's time, each programming lesson also comes with a “Tag Start File” so they can jump right into the programming lessons and avoid the time it take to add tags to the programmable controller project.

License agreement and permitted use of our online courses:
This section covers the license agreement and permitted use of our online courses and course bundles, which also includes any course materials, code snippets, downloads, and provided software, which taken all together will henceforth be referred to collectively as a "course:"
The purchase of a single copy of a course grants a single individual with the right to use the course for personal instruction and reference only. Purchasing a course for yourself (or for another) does not grant you, them, or anyone the right to distribute or share that work beyond the single individual that registers to take the course.
This means the course and course materials may not be shared with friends, relatives, co-workers, students, or anyone else as each sale is for an individual license to access, view, and take the lessons, quizzes, exercises, and download any course materials, documents, code, files, and software that are included with the course.
This per-person licensing helps ensure that the instructor who created the course (and exclusively holds the copyright for it,) can cover the expense outlaid to create the course, as well as cover the continuing costs of keeping the course available to new and existing customers, and additionally cover the expense of answering new questions that paying customers may have, all while providing the instructor (and copyright holder) with fair compensation for access to their copyrighted course and course materials that are licensed on a per-person basis.
Note that it is unlawful to share this copyrighted course and course material *even* if you do not charge for doing so, or do not make a profit doing so - this includes non-profit and governmental organizations - as the nature of this unique, copyrighted, proprietary educational work (for which the instructor holds the sole copyright,) is that it is designed as a chargeable training resource that is not made freely available to the public, and as such its only value is in its controlled distribution.
Therefore, any unauthorized sharing of the course or the course materials would greatly reduce the potential for additional sales and licensing, directly impacting the ability of the instructor and copyright holder to cover their costs to produce the course, as well as to continue to make it available to new and existing customers, and to support customers who lawfully purchased it.
If you have any questions on the above, please contact us using the "contact link" in the site menu.
