A new cost-effective compact, industrial PC integrates all standard PC functions, including network and fieldbus interfaces, to seamlessly tie together the industrial/process automation and IT worlds.
DC power sources take control
Wago 787 Series power supplies provide a broad range of highly reliable, cost effective DC power sources for any industrial control application.
"The seminar will advance the working knowledge for those programming and installing PLC- or PC-based industrial control systems", says Marc Immordino, Wago Product Training Manager.
"The I/O information will be augmented with hands-on exercises featuring a complete node equipped with the Wago 750-841 Ethernet PFC.
The sessions will also focus on the system's internal functionality, the use of Wago's newest programming tool (Wago-I/O-Pro CAA), web integration and more".
The first day serves as an introduction to Wago-I/O-System hardware followed by extensive hands-on programming with live nodes from the 750 Series Wago-I/O-System, use of Wago software tools for commissioning/troubleshooting and coverage of various industrial Ethernet protocols.
Day two covers IEC61131 programming topics such as, address mapping, use of multiple programming languages and CoDeSys visualisation tutorials.
The final day features web page design, examples of Wago DLL and use of the 750-841 file system.
"There will also be opportunities to discuss a variety of applications, including those brought up by delegates", adds Immordino.
"We are immersing delegates in control technology by incorporating open discussion with hands-on exercises, which benefits both delegates and their employers".
Enrollment is free and Wago provides all course materials, meals and co-ordinates ground transport.
Delegates are responsible for lodging and travel - Wago's headquarters are located in the Milwaukee metro area.
It is recommended that delegates bring laptop computers equipped (if possible) with a 9-pin serial port and Ethernet connectivity.
As an added bonus, delegates may purchase a complete Ethernet training node (a $1300 value) for US $620.
Space in each seminar is limited to 12 delegates.
