The
course has been designed
to familiarise Electricians,
Technicians and Maintenance
Engineers, with little
or no experience of VIPA
or Siemens PLC's to the
many different aspects
associated with the operation
and maintenance of VIPA
300V Controllers. 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 VIPA 300V 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 WinPLC7
programmer to connect
online and monitor
programs to determine
plant problems.
