Our Allen Bradley training program is designed to equip engineers and technicians with the essential skills and expertise required to proficiently diagnose, troubleshoot, and maintain Allen-Bradley SLC 500 Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) with utmost safety and competence.

Our full curriculum encompasses a wide array of topics, ensuring participants gain a deep understanding of PLC concepts and the intricacies of the Allen-Bradley SLC 500 system.

From the basics of programming software like RSLogix 500 to advanced system configurations and communication protocols, we leave no stone unturned in equipping learners with the necessary skills to excel in their roles.

Throughout the course, participants will engage in hands-on exercises, honing their ability to write efficient software code, configure hardware components, and annotate code for clarity and comprehension.

They'll develop confidence in establishing connections between programming software and PLC processors, utilising live software monitoring or variable tables, and employing forcing variables effectively.

Our program goes beyond theoretical knowledge by providing practical insights into downloading and uploading PLC programs, ensuring seamless integration with target hardware.

We also emphasise the importance of regular PLC maintenance, covering tasks such as battery replacement and offline software backup to mitigate potential risks.
