ROBOT AND PLC (AB) SYSTEM INTEGRATION

$4,150.00

40 Contact Hours (3.75 CEU)

Course Code: RBT-PLCAB-SYS

The main objective of this class is an introduction of how to setup, program and use an Allen-Bradley Control Logix PLC Controller to direct a FANUC robot application. You will develop a process for both Robot and PLC setup procedures, including communication using an ETHERNET IP protocol, and create, test, run, troubleshoot and refine the program and production setup for an automation system

This class will specifically focus on an Allen Bradley Control Logix PLC with Studio 5000 software on an ETHERNET IP platform. We will use Ladder Logic to coordinate the automation.

This class will show you step by step how to evaluate a Project Scope and turn it into a working PLC production program for General Industry applications.

Course Objectives: Students successfully completing this course will be able to:

Review an automation project scope and access appropriate system components
Assess, Evaluate and review workcell design for a material handling automation solution for a general industry application
Configure Devices in the workcell - Hardware, Software, Network, Communications
Configure Robot and PLC for Production
Program the Robot to perform the tasks
Program an Allen Bradley Control Logix PLC with appropriate modules
Write the TPPs – Teach Pendant Program and MACROS where appropriate
Write the Ladder Logic Programs
Create and Set the appropriate Input and Output map structure on Robot and PLC
Design, Create and Configure Bit Maps
Create and Configure Network using an Ethernet Protocol

Design, Create and Configure an HMI Application for Production
Understand and implement foundational practices to create standard automated solution using an AB PLC and a FANUC Robot.

The course consists of lectures, lessons, chapter reviews, demonstrations and a series of lab exercises designed to reinforce what the student has learned. In addition to lab exercises, a pre-test and a post-test are used to measure mastery of objectives. Recommended safety procedures are integrated into all training exercises.

Audience: This course is intended for robot and PLC technicians, maintainers, programmers and engineers who have a good understanding of TPP programming and preferably some PLC programming. This would include programmers, operators, electricians and technicians who design, install, test and maintain the R30iB controller.

Prerequisites: Completion of a live attended, or live virtual, FANUC instructor led Operation and Programming course (such as HandlingTool, ArcTool, SpotTool). Completion of an online eLearn Operation and Programming course will not meet this Operation and Programming prerequisite. An Allen Bradley PLC Fundamentals Programming class would be helpful but not required.
