VersaMax Maintenance with Proficy Machine Edition Course

The VersaMax Maintenance with Proficy Machine Edition course provides the fundamental tools for a new programmer to organize and implement a VersaMax program using Machine Edition software as well as configure and utilize the VersaMax PLC. The course will guide the student by demonstrations and hands on lab exercises to develop programs based on real world applications.

This class is ideal for:
Personnel responsible for the development, maintenance, and modification of Ladder Diagram control programs for the VersaMax PLCs and responsible for the implementation and maintenance of a VersaMax system will benefit from this class.

Are There Any Prerequisites?
To obtain the maximum benefit from this course, the participant should have a working knowledge of PLC based machine or process control. A basic understanding of ladder logic or a control programming language is a plus and familiarity with a windows-based operating system is necessary.

Topics Covered:

Upon completion of this Course, the student will be able to:

Describe Programmable Controller components and the functional operation of a PLC.
Demonstrate the use of Machine Edition software and understand VersaMax hardware installation.
Configure the power supply, CPU, input/output modules, and optional modules into the VersaMax system.
Operate and apply the VersaMax instruction set, consisting of Timers and Counters, Math, Relation, Convert Operations, Data Move, Bit Operations, Table Operations and Control Operations.
Create relay ladder logic program development for the VersaMax CPU using Machine Edition software.
Comprehend Basic diagnostic and troubleshooting procedures on a VersaMax PLC.
Use PLC and I/O Fault Tables as software troubleshooting tools.
