Learners examine the elements of a data file memory of an Allen-Bradley SLC-500 programmable controller. A quiz completes the activity.

In this animated object, learners examine the operation of up-counters and down-counters for a programmable controller. A brief quiz completes the activity.

Learners examine the two methods used by programmable logic controllers to perform a counting operation using addition or counter instructions. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this animated object, learners examine the types of information to enter, and the sequence of steps required, to program a programmable logic controller (PLC) timer.

Learners examine the functions of the three types of memory used by an Allen-Bradley SLC-500 programmable logic controller: the Executive ROM, Scratch Pad, and Processor File.

In this animated object, learners examine three data compare instructions used by programmable logic controllers (PLCs). A practical application to show how these instructions are used in an industrial setting is provided.

Learners view an animation showing the one-shot operation of a programmable logic controller.

In this animated object, learners examine how to use a programmable logic controller as an alternative to hardwiring a ladder logic circuit.

In this animated object, learners examine the proper way to reset a counter instruction in a programmable controller.

Learners examine the counter-reset function of a programmable controller and how it is used.

In this animated object, learners examine the operation and programming requirements of a PLC Examine-Off instruction. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this animated activity, learners study how a PLC performs a shift operation. The learning object covers data movement, data entry, PLC wiring, PLC shift register introductions, and programming for a paint can operation.

In this animated learning object, students examine the addresses of PLC elements and how they pertain to I/O connections and internal memory files.

In this interactive object, learners view a practical application of a PLC Timer-On function.

In this interactive and animated object, learners study how to wire field devices to a PLC sourcing input module. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this animated object, learners study the problems that develop if the scan time of a PLC is too slow.

The learner will understand the operation and configuration of various types of PLC output modules and how they're used.

Learners consider the correct type of pushbutton to use as a Stop button, the way the Stop button should be hard wired, and the PLC input instruction to use. This animated object includes a short quiz. It is recommended that learners review the learning object “The PLC Examine-Off Instruction” before beginning this object.

Learners study an animated PLC counting operation and examine how the count is automatically reset.

Learners observe how to cascade PLC counters to extend the maximum count of one counter.
