Outline - Series 90-30 Programming with VersaPro Part 1

The Series 90-30 Programming with VersaPro Part 1 course provides the fundamental tools for a new programmer to organize and implement a 90-30 program using VersaPro software. It provides an experienced instructor and a course that will guide the student by demonstrations and hands on lab exercises to develop programs based on real world applications.

Objective: Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Describe Programmable Controller components and the functional operation of a PLC.
• Comprehend VersaPro software and Series 90-30 hardware installation.
• Configure the power supply, CPU, input/output modules, and optional modules into the Series 90-30 system.
• Operate and apply the Series 90-30 instruction set, consisting of Timers and Counters, Math, Relation, Convert Operations, Data Move, Bit Operations, Table Operations and Control Operations.
• Create Relay ladder logic programs for the Series 90-30 CPU using VersaPro software.
• Comprehend basic diagnostic and troubleshooting procedures on a Series 90-30 Programmable Controller.
• Use PLC and I/O Fault Tables as software troubleshooting tools.
• Understand the uses of a Hand Held Programmer for system monitoring.

Audience: This class should be attended by personnel responsible for the development, maintenance, and modification of Ladder Diagram control programs for the Series 90-30 and 90 Micro PLCs. System specifiers and maintenance personnel who need to understand the Series 90-30 System and VersaPro should also attend this course.

Prerequisites: To obtain the maximum learning from this course, the participant should have a working knowledge of PLC based machine or process control. A basic understanding of ladder logic or a control programming language is a plus. As VersaPro will be run on WIN95 or Windows NT in this class, familiarity with a GUI (Graphical User Interface) windows-based operating system and use of a mouse as a pointing device is necessary.
