Course Outline
Module 1
This module takes a fundamental approach to a ControlLogix system. It begins with an
overview of the architecture and migrates into an introduction of RSLogix 5000, the
programming environment. Students will learn how to setup communications to the PLC
using RSLinx, download and upload projects, as well as determine the modes of the
CPU. This module presents the fundamentals of memory management with a discussion
of the tag database. The module ends with instruction on configuring the digital I/O
modules.

4. RSLinx
5. CPU Modes
6. Configuring Ethernet Modules
7. Downloading / Uploading
8. Tag Database
9. Configuring Discrete I/O
Module 2
This module introduces configuration of analog I/O modules. Program basics and project
structure in tasks, programs and routines is covered which leads to being able to search
and use the cross reference tools effectively. Students will learn a variety of methods for
editing ladder logic. Finally, a presentation of relay and timer instructions meets the
needs of programmers and maintenance personnel.
