Course Outline

Module 1

This module begins with an overview of the CODESYS system and IDE followed by the basic concepts of a CODESYS project. Next, communications and modes will be covered. The student will learn about devices that can be connected to a CODESYS PLC device and set up an example Profinet device in the class. Variables will be discussed and to conclude the module the student will connect variables to real I/O addresses.

2. CODESYS
3. Project Overview
4. Comms/Modes
5. Hardware
6. Variables
7. Variable Mapping

Module 2

This module begins with the basics of ladder logic and then the student will be able to interpret the operation of programs using relay type instructions. Next, Editing Ladder is covered. The following lesson, the student will know what ST is, understand and organize Structured Text Basics and then how to edit ST and common layouts. To conclude the module, the student will learn forcing an input, an output, an analog value and how to change data in a variable.
