Timers and Counters

- Identify and understand timing and counting instructions.

- Understand how the different timing and counting bits are used for control.

(TON/TOF/RTO/CTU/CTD)

Software Tools and Troubleshooting

- Understand how to search, use cross-references, and use the search-and-replace functions.

- Understand how to use the Histogram.

- Learn how to handle a processor fault.

- Become familiar with the processor fault status file.

Registers and Register Type Instructions

- Understand the purpose and use for register type instructions. (MOV/CLR/COP)

Number Systems

- Be familiar with the different types of number systems. (DEC/BIN/OCT/HEX)

Data Comparison

- Understand comparison instructions. (GRT/LES/EQU/LIM/GEQ/LEQ)

Analog

- Understand the difference between analog and digital data.

- Identify and understand how the PLC processes analog data.

- Understand how to scale analog data.

Inputting and Outputting Numbers

- Understand the basics of inputting and outputting BCD numbers.

I/O Bus Networks

- Recognize the different methods for installing I/O bus networks.

- Understand communication methods and terminology related to network systems.

Communications and Messaging

- Understand the parameters and architecture of a RS-485 and Ethernet communication transport methods.
