RSLogix500™ Software - Level Two

This forty-hour course is for advanced users who want to be able to develop & create SLC500 programs from scratch using the powerful features of the Allen-Bradley RSLogix500™ software. Advanced troubleshooting features of the software and use of Advanced Instructions Sets may also be included based on customer need. There are extensive exercises and opportunities for practice on SLC500 simulators. (It is strongly recommended that the Customer provide their use own sample programs to make this course most effective.)

After this class, participants will be able to:
Programming

  1. Develop SLC500 programs from scratch using the RSLogix500™ software

  2. Thoroughly document and backup newly designed programs

  3. Recognize strengths & weaknesses of existing SLC500 programs and make corrections to improve them

RSLogix500™ Software Advanced Features

  1. Properly configure the RSLinx™ software to communicate on DH+

  2. Properly configure an RSLogix500™ driver to communicate with RSLinx™

  3. Configure the RSLogix500™ display screen using the Windows arrange, the maximize, minimize and restore buttons

  4. Use the RSLogix500™ software to display a single ladder program or multiple ladder programs in multiple windows

  5. Use the Project Tree window to display or configure: Controller Properties, Processor Status, Channel status, Ladder Program files, Cross Reference file, Data Table files, Force table files, Custom Data monitor screens and the Database Editor
