Level 2: PLC-5 and RSLogix 5 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Course Purpose:
This skill-building course provides you with the knowledge and practice needed to interpret, isolate, and diagnose common hardware problems related to noise, power, and discrete and analog I/O. In troubleshooting scenarios, you will be introduced to basic ladder logic interpretation, which is applied to diagnostic tasks. You will practice these diagnostic skills by tracing through ladder logic instructions in an RSLogix 5 project. An integrated practice of multiple troubleshooting skills completes the training.

To complete this course successfully, the following prerequisites are required:
- Experience maintaining electrically controlled systems
- Working knowledge of programmable controllers or completion of PLC-5 / SLC 500 and RSLogix Fundamentals (Course No. CCP122)
- Experience operating a personal computer within a Microsoft® Windows® environment
To enhance and facilitate your learning experience, the following materials are provided as part of the course package:
- Student Manual, which contains the key concepts, definitions, and examples presented in the course and includes the hands-on exercises.
- RSLogix 5 and PLC-5 Procedures Guide, which provides all the steps required to complete common tasks using RSLogix 5 and RSLinx™ software, including the tasks in the exercises. By following the procedures in this job aid, you can immediately apply what is learned in the course to your own job.
- PLC-5 and RSLogix 5 Troubleshooting Guide, which contains diagnostic algorithms that lead to possible maintenance and troubleshooting solutions.
- PLC-5 Documentation Reference Guide, which contains several relevant technical publications. This searchable, electronic resource contains the most frequently referenced programming information and is a quick and efficient on-the-job resource.
- 1785 PLC-5 Programmable Controllers Quick Reference, which provides a wide-range of maintenance information about the PLC-5 processors.
Diagnostic and problem-solving skills are sharpened through hands-on exercises using a troubleshooting guide and a PLC-5 processor linked to an interactive I/O simulator.
Throughout the course, you will maintain and troubleshoot a real-world RSLogix 5 project that controls a simulated, paint-mixing and packaging application. This real-world experience can then be applied to common troubleshooting problems.
