Course 443 Description: ControlWave Designer Accelerated Programming
Save time and costs by attending a fast-paced, hands-on course for programming the ControlWave® product family using IEC-61131-3 standard software and Bristol®-supplied functions. Combining the ControlWave Designer Communications Programming and Fundamentals courses allows you to participate in a single one week course. This course will provide you with the knowledge and skills required to define and control inputs and outputs of related real world applications, including communications and troubleshooting.
Students will generate and debug simple control strategy programs using Function Block, Ladder Logic, Structured Text, and Sequential Function Chart programming while learning the basics of ControlWave network communications, historical data storage, alarming, and hardware configurations - including MODBUS communications.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
- Personnel responsible for the establishing of communication interfaces to ControlWave Automation products
PREREQUISITES
- Participants must have a strong working knowledge of personal computers and Windows XP or a later version
- Participants should have a strong working knowledge of their application/process
- Participants should have some programming experience
- Participants should have completed "Creating a Simple Project"
