Module 1 ControlLogix Motion

Description :
This is the first module in the series covering ControlLogix Motion. This module introduces students to standard motion hardware including both the traditional analog style and the new Sercos style. Students will learn how to setup and configure both analog and Sercos axis', which includes a full understanding of all setup parameters. Students will learn how to utilize the various Auto Tuning features, to obtain peak performance out of their systems. Students will understand the various timing modes for motion instructions, which will then be used in the companion module 2. Students will learn how to harness the power of User Defined Tags to assist in organizing a ControlLogix project.
