Description

The IEC 61131-3 programming languages provide standardized access to PLC programming. Simple yet powerful language constructs facilitate the programming of a variety of control systems.

Remote lectures are held online. Participants will receive an invitation to the virtual classroom via Microsoft Teams. This may require additional registration on the part of the participants.

Participants need a PC with a web browser, microphone and speakers (e.g. USB headset). A second screen and a webcam are recommended, but not mandatory. A stable Internet connection is required.

A live session is planned every day. Participants will receive exercises afterwards. A tutor will be available in the chat at agreed times. The chat provides an opportunity to share experiences with other participants. Schedule about 2-3 hours per day.

Prerequisites

SRL210 – Remote Lecture: Automation Studio Basics

Automation Studio is used to configure and program all B&R controller components. Core issues such as getting a clear overview of all product groups, initial commissioning of a controller, understanding the functions of the runtime environment and being familiar with the options for integrated configuration and diagnostics are decisive.

Learning objectives and content

  • B&R company presentation
  • B&R philosophy and products
  • Using Automation Studio
  • Using the integrated help documentation
  • Establishing an online connection to the control system
  • Initial installation of a controller
  • Project engineering for the hardware configuration
  • Working with the text and table editors
  • Functions and configuration options in Automation RuntimeAutomation Runtime is the operating system that runs on all B&R controllers
  • Runtime and startup behavior of the controller
  • Use of the integrated diagnostics options
  • Overview of available programming languages
