Introduction to Micro 800

Allen Bradley Intro to Micro 800 using CCW

Course Duration:
3 Days

Documentation:
AB Micro 800 Training Manual.

Equipment per student: 
Micro 800 controller
CCW Programming laptop
Plant simulator

The Introduction to Allen Bradley Micro 800 controllers training course has been designed to familiarise Electricians, Technicians and Maintenance Engineers with little or no experience of Micro 800 controllers to the many different aspects associated with the operation and maintenance of Micro 800 controllers and the CCW programming software.

Where possible, application specific exercises, actual drawings and plant programs will be used to allow the students to gain the greatest possible benefit from the course.

Objectives

• To introduce students to the concepts and operation of Micro 800 controllers.

• To recognise and understand the hardware associated with a Micro 800 controllers.

• To be able to understand the structure of the PLC project in the programming software and to have the confidence to implement minor changes to the program.

• To be able to use the CCW programming software to connect online to monitor and be able to use the search and cross reference facilities to chase through the Micro 800 program to determine problems on plant.

• To be able to locate and replace faulty modules by understanding and using the system diagnostics available in the programming software when an error is present.

• To be able to create a backup copy of the Logix controllers program. To be able to restore a program back into the controller from a backup copy.
