Description:

This 12 hour online course is designed to give the experienced IndraLogic Gen2 user the tools necessary to further develop their processes. Using the exercises created in the #83110 class, the student will be adding additional data types to enhance process capabilities. The data types used will be Arrays, Data Structures, and Enumerations. The student will also be learning programming options for working with STRING variables and File data. The student will be creating one-, two-, and three-dimensional Arrays. These arrays will be populated and the data further processed using Data Structures. The programming language used will be Structured Text.

Course Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

• Accomplish Structure Text programming using WHILE, CASE, and DO Loops
• Understand advanced data types, i.e., Arrays, Enumerations and Data Structures
• Create and Populate Arrays
• Create and Manipulate Data in Data Structures
• Understand Arithmetic, Indirect Addressing, and Conversion functions
• Work with String Variables and Manipulate the String Data
• Apply and Monitor Indirect Addressing for data retrieval
• Create, Open, Append, and Close Files within the PLC Program
