PLC Diagnostics & Logic Tracing
Establish communication, inspect CPU/module diagnostics and trace inputs through timers, interlocks and permissives to outputs. Use address search and cross-reference to locate the condition preventing operation.
Customer-specific Industrial Automation Maintenance & Troubleshooting Workshops that help engineers connect to equipment, trace faults, protect backups and restore compatible replacement units.
Designed for maintenance engineers with basic electrical and industrial-maintenance knowledge. The equipment mix, depth and exercises are selected around the systems your team actually supports.
Short explanations and demonstrations are followed by participant exercises and controlled fault simulation on dedicated workshop hardware.
Each engineer practises the relevant procedures, with exercises adapted to participant experience and the available hardware.
Establish communication, inspect CPU/module diagnostics and trace inputs through timers, interlocks and permissives to outputs. Use address search and cross-reference to locate the condition preventing operation.
Compare physical signals with PLC values, check scaling and trace speed references. Distinguish field-device, wiring, module, parameter and logic-related faults.
Create organised program and parameter backups, record hardware/software details and practise restoration to compatible equipment. Use replacement checklists before returning a unit to service.
Review operator-interface backups, I/O station diagnostics and relevant industrial-network settings. Practise communication checks for the platforms included in your programme.
Identify command and reference sources, review fault history, check motor data and trace drive-ready/run/fault signals. Cover parameter backup, replacement compatibility and controlled functional checks.
Apply the same diagnostic methods to selected equipment, review available backups and record important maintenance gaps with a practical action list.
Possible coverage includes Siemens TIA Portal and S7-1200/1500, STEP 7 Classic and S7-300, Allen-Bradley SLC 500, Mitsubishi FX, Omron CP and Delta DVP systems.
Drive topics can include Siemens SINAMICS, MICROMASTER and SIMOREG 6RA70, alongside ABB ACS550, according to the agreed programme and equipment availability.
The workshop focuses on maintenance, diagnostics and recovery. Advanced application development and major machine modifications are scoped separately.
Tell us which machines and platforms cause difficulty so the workshop addresses real maintenance situations.
