Description

The PAC Machine Edition — Controller Logic Developer Programming course will teach users to program for PACSystems, 90/70, 90/30, and VersaMax controllers featuring the PACSystems RX3i Controller. This class covers programming techniques and the advanced features of the PACSystems Controller using Logic Developer PLC 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) and Function Block Diagram (FBD) programming languages.

Objectives

• Describe Control System Architecture & Operational Fundamentals
• Operate Proficy Machine Edition
• Establish and Utilize Communications to the Controller
• Expand Controllers and Describe Specialty Modules
• Effectively use and create PACSystems Variables
• Create Projects in Ladder Diagram (LD) and Function Block Diagram (FBD)
• Understand and program Arithmetic, Timer, Counter, and Move operations
• Utilize programming guidelines for developing robust control applications
• Use User Defined Function Blocks (UDFBs) to build structured applications
• Effectively use the Machine Edition Tool chest as a repository for Application Building Blocks
• Create, Monitor, and Modify running PACSystems applications

Prerequisites

• Basic understanding of electrical/control fundamentals
• Comfort operating in a Microsoft Windows environment

Audience

• Any individual involved in the development, modification, and troubleshooting of control systems using Proficy Logic Developer PLC and PACSystems Controllers
