Course aims are handling and PLC programming of the CX Embedded PC. The target group are PLC programmers wishing to migrate from a hardware PLC to the CX. All basic steps – from the first switching-on of the CX to the creation of a PLC project – are explained. An overview of further application options for the CX, such as Connectivity, TwinCAT NC PTP and HMI, is provided.
Requirements | Experience of the following is expected:
| Ordering information | CX Training: Introduction for PLC programmers |
|---|---|
| TR4000 | – commissioning of the CX at the programming PC, establishing a connection, network settings |
– TwinCAT system manager, remote function |
|
– basic introduction to IEC 61131-3 with focus on “Structured Text” |
|
– example programs: controlling the CX display, data remanence, ADS blocks for data exchange between CX devices and BC/IPC |
|
– diagnostic tools: TwinCAT Scope, ADS debugger |
|
– CX handling: auto-start of the PLC program, re-loading the PLC-source code from the CX, project compare |
|
– outlook: additional functions and application options of the CX: communication and HMI options, positioning |
