“The software is working out great. It’s worth making sure that our new maintenance people go through the programs and now it’s going to be a mandatory part of their training. I’ve seen the difference in the few people I’ve run through. The more practice I can get these new troubleshooters the better.”
Dana M.The simulations
Develop and master your troubleshooting skills with three unique troubleshooting scenarios that feature:
- More than a dozen hands-on labs to understand PLC operations and interpret ladder diagrams
- 12 practice exercises and guided faults on a basic PLC controlled circuit for troubleshooting practice
- Three unique PLC troubleshooting scenarios with over 45 challenging malfunctions to diagnose and repair
Typical components found in these simulations are:
- PLCs with separate control, digital input and digital output modules
- DC power supplies
- A variety of input components
- Relays and other output components
In these simulations practice:
- Performing voltage, resistance, and other tests with the multimeter
- Tracing and disconnecting wires and replace components
- Operating inputs in the circuit
- Connecting a virtual laptop to the PLC where you will be able to:
- Go online and change modes
- Monitor the operation of the ladder diagram
- Change settings in the ladder diagram
- Download programs to the PLC
Added benefits
- Challenges all expertise levels with multiple degrees of fault difficulty in each simulation
- Demonstrations, hands-on labs and continuous performance measurement
- Step-by-step guides help users apply new problem solving techniques to solve faults
- Printable resources including circuit diagrams, schematics and worksheets
- Extra and Genius Faults available for skill maintenance
Designed for…
- All trades professionals wanting to develop and advance their skills for analyzing and correcting malfunctions in industrial processing systems controlled by PLCs
- Use in a classroom or self-study learning
- Learning skills that are directly transferrable to the workplace
- Worldwide use: simulations on resources provided for NEMA and IEC electrical standards
