Course 451 Description: ACCOL-Designer Translator
The ACCOL-Designer Translator course offers students the knowledge and skill required to translate existing Network 3000 ACCOL II programming logic to IEC-61131-3 standards used in ControlWave® products.
Students will gain programming experience making the post-conversion work simpler by condensing ACCOL program loads. Upon conversion, students will program using ControlWave Designer to restructure function and input /output modules in structured text and sequential function chart program language. A typical program example will be provided for hands-on translating.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
- Personnel responsible for translating an ACCOL control program into a ControlWave Designer project
- Personnel possessing general programming techniques
PREREQUISITES
- Participants must be very familiar with the ACCOL control language.
- Attendees must have a strong working knowledge of personal computers and Windows XP or later version.
It is the intention of this course to show students the general steps necessary to translate an ACCOL load. Because of the generic nature of this course, students should not expect to be permitted to translate their own loads as part of the course.
