Hi all
I am new to this forum so please be gentle. I have done some searches through the forums and I can find a lot of discussions on SLC/PLC5 V ControlLogix. However, I can't quite find something to address my particular question. So I would be grateful if someone can point me in the right direction here.
OK, so here is my situation:
I have several years experience in programming with PLC5 and SLC. However, I have been away doing other things for the last few years and not really had much exposure to PLC stuff. Now I find myself with the possibility of getting back into the PLC world, however in the meantime AB have ControlLogix...
I have recently saw some examples of the ControlLogix programmes and I have to admit the whole addressing issues has me really confused?? Right now my brain only thinks of bits and bytes and logical memory addresses...you know N100:27.1 is very clear to me! So the question is...
What is the quickest way to get a full understanding of the new addressing system? Can anyone recommend a good resource, book or other that can get me easily up to speed.
As I said, I can find lots of posts talking about the "learning curve" when moving to using ControlLogix...but not much on how to actually tackle this curve....
Apologies in advance as I suspect that this topic may have been done to death on here.....
