The
course has been designed
to familiarise Electricians,
Technicians and Maintenance
Engineers with little
or no experience of VIPA
or Siemens S5 to the many
different aspects associated
with the operation and
maintenance of VIPA 200V
CPU controllers and Siemens
S5 instruction set.
Where
possible, application
specific exercises, actual
drawings and programs
listings are used to allow
the students to gain the
greatest possible benefit
from the course.
Objectives
To
introduce students to
the concepts and operation
of S5 programmable controllers,
including the following
areas:
•
Locate and replace
faulty modules.
•
Reload programs.
•
I/O Fault finding.
•
Introduction to communications.
•
Implement changes
to the program.
•
Using the programmer
to Connect online
and
monitor programs
to determine plant
problems.
