| PLC Programming Learning Package |
 In an effort to make learning PLC application and programming affordable, Divelbiss Corporation's Technical Services Group developed this training course for use by individuals, companies, schools and universities. It's perfect for upgrading employee skill levels. The course is structured so it can be used for individual and/or home study as well as corporate level training. The course material begins with an introduction to electrical control circuits and is fully illustrated to aid understanding of each topic presented. As the course progresses, I/O types and their usage is explained along with good wiring practices and networking. The balance of the material presented deals with the actual programming and covers each segment in detail. Exercises for each chapter make use of the Solves-It! PLC and development board to provide hands-on example of theory. The following items are included in the PLC/Programming Learning Package: HARDWARE: One each - Solves-It! plug-in PLC Model SI-210 One each - SI-PGM Solves-It! Programming Cable, RS-232 One each - Divelbiss part number 115-105328 Din-rail/Subplate mount socket One each - SI-DEMO-02 Trainer/Simulator (Includes Class II transformer) One each - Solves-It! Model SI-210 User's Manual (on CD) SOFTWARE: One each - EZLDCD-01 Current Release Version Standard of EZ Ladder® on CD One each - EZ Ladder User's Manual (on CD) COURSE MANUALS: One each - PLCs & Control - A Practical Approach Student's Manual on CD One each - PLCs & Control - A Practical Approach Student's Workbook on CD The Program Outline below lists topics covered in each section of the PLCs & Control - A Practical Approach course of study. The material is presented in a concise manner that makes it easily understandable. Example programs for each of the function types provide positive reenforcement for the theory covered in the section. All printed matter on the CD is in PDF format to allow access for quick reference as well as printing. I.
