Studio 5000 Logix Designer Level 3: Project Development

Course Purpose

Upon completion of this course, given a functional specification for a Logix5000™ application, you should be able to develop a project to meet the specification requirements.

This course covers tasks common to the following hardware, which all use the Logix5000 control engine:

• ControlLogix® controllers
• CompactLogix™ controllers
• SoftLogix™ controllers

This course builds upon your knowledge of common controller terms and operations and your experience with basic ladder logic programming. You can gain a deeper understanding of project development tasks that are common to all Logix5000 controllers. Such tasks include organizing tasks and routines, organizing controller data, configuring modules, and sharing data. You will also use producer/consumer technology for multicasting to input and output devices, sharing data between controllers, and controlling remote I/O.
