Who should take this course:

Anyone who already has some PLC experience and would like to master the most used features of the Allen-Bradley line of ControlLogix Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs.)

Requirements to complete optional exercises or follow along:

Students who wish to complete optional exercises, or follow along with the instructor as he programs, will need the following:

1) A working copy of RSLogix 5000 or Studio 5000, and a compatible Windows PC to run it on:

• Rockwell currently does not offer a free download of the RSLogix 5000 or Studio 5000 programming software
• The Instructor does cover how to request a free 30 day evaluation copy of the above software from Rockwell
• To find out if your Windows PC is compatible with your Rockwell Software, visit Rockwell's website here

2) A ControlLogix or CompactLogix controller (with inputs and outputs) that is compatible with the students Windows computer AND their version of RSLogix 5000 or Studio 5000:

• Currently, the course only covers ControlLogix hardware, however all of the programming lessons can also be done with a CompactLogix controller
• Before purchasing a Contoller, Software, or PC, students should check that they are compatible with each other
• Controller, Programming Software, and Communications options and compatibility are covered in the course
• Students may also wish to use Input (push buttons, switches, etc) and Output (pilot lights, relays, etc) devices with their controller
• Note: The course includes how to find I/O wiring diagrams, but does not include lessons on basic electricity or wiring I/O devices
