Description

Learn programming for Emerson Controllers in this PAC Machine Edition class featuring the PACSystems RX3i Controller. This class covers programming techniques and the advanced features of the PACSystems Controller using Logic Developer PLC PAC Machine Edition software. Starting with the controller software architecture, students are taught how to effectively develop control applications using building block concepts. This course builds upon Object-Oriented concepts with PACSystems User-Defined Function Blocks (UDFBs), as well as the development of application components using Ladder Diagram (LD), Function Block Diagram (FBD) and Structured Text (ST) programming languages.

Topics

• Describe Control System Architecture & Operational Fundamentals
• Operate PAC Machine Edition
• Establish and Utilize Communications to the Controller
• Configure a Controller and its Associated Hardware Modules
• Effectively Use and Create Controller Variables
• Create Projects in Ladder Diagram (LD)
• Understand and Program Arithmetic, Timer, Counter, and Move Operations
• Use Compute instruction to solve mathematical expressions
• Utilize Programming Guidelines for Developing Robust Control Applications
• Use User Defined Function Blocks (UDFBs) to Build Structured Applications
• Effectively Use the Machine Edition Toolchest as Repository for Application Building Blocks
• Create, Monitor, and Modify Running Controller Applications
• Use monitoring tools to view application execution
• Configure basic PROFINET I/O network and use PROFINET diagnostic and debugging tools

Audience

This course is intended for those who are or will be involved in the development, modification, and troubleshooting of control systems using PAC Logic Developer PLC and PACSystems Controllers.
