IEC Paradigms (Level 4)

Now, you're going to be learning the Logix5000 environment as well as AB's CCW. Then we're going to get away from AB and do a lot of work in ABB's Automation Builder where you'll be able to work hands-on with all five IEC paradigms.

How Will This Course Benefit You?

By the end of this course, you will be able to program nearly ANY modern PLC regardless of mfg.

You will be knowledgeable AND experienced with all five IEC programming paradigms.

You will know how to lay out a complex PLC program.

Are there any requirements?

All software required for this course is available for free and links will be provided.

You should have already completed PLC Fundamentals before taking this course.

Course Summary

You already know how to program a PLC and make it do what you want using Ladder Diagrams. But as you are undoubtedly aware, there are several other "paradigms" (programming languages) out there to create logic, and you want to program competently with them all.

Aside from learning the paradigms, you also want to develop a comfort level with a few other development environments besides RSLogix 500. Now, you're going to be learning the Logix5000 environment as well as AB's Connected Components Workbench. Then we're going to get away from AB and do a lot of work in ABB's Automation Builder where you'll be able to work hands-on with all five IEC paradigms PLUS an ABB proprietary language as well. As your program grows, you'll be able to simulate it and run your code in real-time every step of the way.

While progressing through the course, I found myself challenged with each project. Not so much that I wanted to skip ahead, but challenging nonetheless. This will probably be a course I review annually as I do not see much outside of ladder logic where I work.

This course is great when you want to learn the IEC paradigms. The first block is just sitting and listening. But after that you get your tools slowly to build the last project. A project designed to get you frustrated and make yourself very proud after completing it. I'm really happy to get this one done. Up to the next ones.
