ST-SEN-01 - Training for Sensor Application and Setup Basics

Agenda

• Device level basics
• Understand the full capabilities of a sensor
• What a sensor can do
• How a sensor can help your machines
• Sensor wiring
• How different sensors can solve the same application
• Prox sensor switching frequency
• Hall effect sensors
• Advantages and disadvantages of sensors

Course Purpose

Gain a comprehensive understanding of sensors, including their types, sensing modes, and real-world applications. Learn about sensor setup, key parameters, and the principles behind how various sensors operate. Explore the differences between PNP and NPN configurations, get introduced to Smart Sensors, and discover the fundamentals of IO-Link technology.

All Logix5000 systems use the same control engine; therefore, tasks are similar. You will see applicable references for other systems. 

Who Should Attend

This course is intended for engineers, maintenance staff, technicians, and entry-level employees new to the company. 

Prerequisites
