Advanced System Programming Languages (IEC 6–1131- 3) Utilized By PLC/PAC Systems (TC36P)

Length: 5 days
CEU Credits: 3.5
Course Hours: 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.

Description:

Today’s PLC/PAC systems are powerful computers that can be programmed in five different languages, and these various languages can co-exist on the same operating platform. All five languages conform to the IEC 6 - 1131- 3 specification. This course was developed for those responsible for selecting the proper language, or languages for an application. The student will learn the constructs and operation of the various instructions in the repertoires. A project will be selected and the student will program the application in all the languages, testing it through simulation. This is a programming course with 90% hands-on labs !

You will be able to:

• Identify the basic components of PLC/PAC systems and where they are utilized
• Identify the IEC 6-1131-3 programming languages
• Develop, write, and test "real world applications" utilizing the various types of the IEC 6-1131-3 languages

You will cover:

• Basic components of a PLC/PAC system
• Language Definitions and Programs Using:
  • Relay Ladder Diagram (RLD)
  • Structured Text (ST)  
  • Function Block Diagrams (SBD)
  • Instruction List (IL)
  • Sequential Function Chart (SFC)

Classroom/Laboratory Exercises:

• Write programs in Relay Ladder Diagram (RLD), Structured Text (ST), Function Block Diagram (SBD), Instruction List (IL), and Sequential Function Chart (SFC) languages

Course Prerequisites:

ISA Course:  PLC/PAC AUTOMATION: Basic Structure, Programming, Installation, Maintenance (TC30P) or a basic understanding of PLC systems is recommended.
