Course Overview
Allen-Bradley Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are widely used in industrial automation systems to control machinery, production lines, process equipment, and integrated manufacturing operations. Effective PLC programming enables engineers and technicians to develop reliable control logic, troubleshoot automation faults, and improve the safety, efficiency, and availability of industrial systems. This course provides practical training in Allen-Bradley ControlLogix and CompactLogix PLC platforms using Studio 5000 Logix Designer. Participants will explore project configuration, controller setup, tag management, ladder logic programming, timers, counters, data handling, input/output configuration, online monitoring, and program troubleshooting. The course also introduces structured programming practices and the use of diagnostic tools to support efficient system development and maintenance. Through guided programming exercises and industrial automation scenarios, participants will develop the skills required to create, modify, test, and troubleshoot PLC applications. The programme emphasizes practical implementation, systematic fault diagnosis, and maintainable programming techniques applicable to manufacturing, utilities, oil and gas, and other process-driven industrial environments.
