Course Content:
• To fault find a system you need to know EXACTLY how it works HOW EXACTLY DOES A PLC WORK?
• Am I getting the input to the PLC?
• The Led on the output card means i am getting voltage out right? does it?
• What exactly happens in between? There’s more than just a program in the CPU
• How exactly does it scan the program?
• What is this Watchdog Timer? Is it that important?
• Can I use the same output twice? That’s bad programming isn’t it? A PLC is a logic controller, so use a logical approach to fault find it.
• What are the 8 simple test points to check?
• The PLC is in RUN, that means there’s a program right? does it? FORCING a bit and toggling a bit is pretty much the same yeah? depends on which PLC
