Module 1
This module provides an overview of PLC-5 systems. It begins with an overview of the
hardware, and then RSLogix5 software. Students will receive a basic understanding of a
PLC-5 project, including an introductory look at memory layout and structure. Followed
with ladder logic fundamentals, editing ladder logic and downloading programs. At the
end of this module students will be comfortable identifying PLC-5 components and will
be able to reload a program into the system.
