Good morning Robert,

I would recommend my PLC Basics Extended Edition course as everything in the course that I do with the MicroLogix 1000 and 1100 can be done with the 1500, except the 1500 doesn't support the free programming software from Rockwell:

Good morning Charles,

Thanks for your feedback.

Since you've already viewed Lesson 51 (importing PLC programs,) what additional information do you think is needed?

I've seen that before – I usually say you need to give the HMI a few seconds to see it, especially on slower networks.

Good morning Charles,

Great to hear from you. There are so many legacy platforms – which ones are you most interested in?

Below I'll list some of the legacy platforms available – some are much harder to convert than others:

Convert to View Studio:

– PanelView (original, aka PanelView 1200) uses PanelBuilder
– PanelView E (aka Enhanced, 1000E,…[Read more]

Good morning WD,

Thanks for posting your question.

I ask all students to post their questions on the lesson the question is on. As you're not enrolled in any of our courses, please make use of our free forum at TheAutomationForums.com.

As far as PID, none of our courses cover the PID instruction as of yet as I haven't found a good process or…[Read more]
