WORKSHOP

Factory Talk® View - (RSView) ME Level 1


Software Used: Windows XP operating system with RSView ME Studio, and RSView ME Runtime, and RSLogix

Course Description

This 32 hour course is designed to give the students the ability to troubleshoot, create, and deploy Factory Talk® View ME projects on industrial terminals. At the end of the class students will understand how to trace objects on the RSView terminal through a PLC program, modify existing objects on any display, and create new objects when needed. We will use the PLC of your choice for the training: SLC-500, PLC-5, or ControlLogix. Students who attend this course will not only troubleshoot objects, but actually configure them so they will have a full understanding of what it takes to make an object interface with the PLC.
