Hello everyone!
I am fairly new to the PLC world, being an I&C engineer for just over a year now. A few years ago I had some limited experience with an Ovation DCS (Emerson). I know very basic RSLogix - I purchased a book, can enter commands, and did an example program using the book I purchased.
I recently was in the field looking over someone's shoulder trying to learn a bit about ControlLogix5000 during commissioning. During commissioning I came to realize there's a lot I have to learn, which is a great thing because I think I have a better idea of the questions I need to answer before I get thrown in the field.
I would like to take a class in the very near future here in the Maryland area and need recommendations based on my needs. I am soon going to be thrown into commissioning where I will have ControlLogix rack(s) and Allen Bradley drives talking with Ethernet.
While I realize no one class is "one-size-fits-all", I want to take a class that can answer the following questions:
Questions I can think of:
General Do’s and don’ts of ControlLogix in a commissioning environment?
Go online and offline – what does it mean?
How to upload and download program from ControlLogix controller?
How to save program from Logix? How to save program with comments from ControlLogix?
Do’s and don’ts of going online and offline especially in a commissioning environment?
Do’s and don’ts of changing program??
How to add “profiles” for variable frequency drives?
Differences between ControlLogix “tag-based” system and RSLogix?
How to connect laptop to a switch and talk to ControlLogix program?
How to use Linx?
Again the class needs to be in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area; I cannot travel outside the state. I should be able to take a 2 or 3 day class without an issue but no more than that.
Anyone who has experience with ControlLogix and/or has taken classes - your suggestions?
