I have been seeing post here and there about IT professionals and software programmers wanting to learn more about the manufacturing program language "ladder logic". The first advice is to get familiar with the basic manufacturing environment and learn the software of the most popular selling brand of PLC.
There is two days of plc training coming up Jan. 12-13, 2004 in Atlanta Georgia.
This two day course will give IT and Programmers some insight into the use of PLCs in the manufacturing environment while training on Allen Bradley's (AB) RSLogix. RSLogix is AB's primary software for monitoring and programming the AB PLC. The goal is to use RSLogix to troubleshoot the PLC5 and SLC500.
It goes with out saying this PLC training course is ideally suited for the manufacturing maintenance person.
Here is the link for more details ...
