The key focus of our adapted training is to improve the confidence, troubleshooting & diagnostic skills of front line electrical / mechanical engineers & support staff.
Intended Audience
This course is for Technicians & Engineers who are responsible for installing, maintaining & fault-finding industrial automation plant systems which use AC drives on Networks (Ethernet/IP, Profinet etc).
Hardware Used
Siemens G120 or Rockwell PowerFlex Drives
Course Outline
This course introduces an overview of the drive, which includes hardware & software components, plus system configuration and integration into a PLC system using Networks for communication.
The course concentrates on the software, troubleshooting, diagnostic tools & programming instructions required to enable fast communications between the 2 hardware platforms. The delegate is guided through the management of a realistic application.
The course format is a combination of instruction & hands-on exercises. Demonstration exercises are included & allow delegates to practice tasks such as testing, debugging & using diagnostic tools.
Course Objectives
The course consists of instructor-led tuition & discussions which focuses on examples from a workbook, backed up by practical hands-on sessions. Demonstration exercises are included & allow delegates to practice tasks such as testing, debugging & fault finding using diagnostic tools. The course is hands on with great emphasis on the practical aspects of Drives and the configuration software.
