Course Overview
Provides hands-on training in the use of RSLogix5000 PLC programming software. Explores the power of the PLC through use of math functions, data comparison and manipulation instructions. A measure-and-sort application will illustrate how to interface a PLC to an optical shaft encoder and a Human Machine Interface (HMI) via Ethernet.
