Wago PFC Training Course

Wago PFC Training Course

Course Duration:
4 Days

Documentation:
Wago PFC 100/200 Series Programming and Maintenance Training Manual.

Equipment per student:
Wago PFC controller
e!cockpit programming laptop
Plant simulator

The Wago PFC (Programmable Fieldbus Controller) PLC training course has been designed to familiarise Electricians, Technicians and Maintenance Engineers with little or no experience of Wago PLC systems to the many different aspects associated with the operation, use and maintenance of Wago PFC systems and the e!cockpit programming software, using a Wago PFC CoDeSys based controller.

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 Wago PFC Ethernet Controllers.
• To recognise and understand the hardware associated with a Wago PFC controller.
• To be able to understand the structure of the Wago PFC project and to have the confidence to implement minor changes to the program.
• To be able to use the e!cockpit programming software to connect online to monitor and search through the Wago PFC project to determine problems on plant.
• To be able to locate and replace faulty modules by understanding and using the system diagnostics available when an error is present.
• To be able to take a backup copy of the Wago PFC controller program and to be able to restore a program back into the controller from a backup copy.
