CEU ELIGIBLE
At the end of this training program attendees will be able to:
- Identify and work with ControlLogix and CompactLogix hardware and explain how Logix platform architecture supports industrial control systems.
- Navigate Studio 5000 Logix Designer to open, verify, and manage controller projects, including understanding controller organization and project structure.
- Establish communications and configure/troubleshoot I/O, using diagnostics and key configuration concepts to verify module and network operation.
- Interpret and monitor tag-based ladder logic (including common instruction types and patterns) and relate controller execution behavior to machine response.
- Apply a structured troubleshooting method using live data/diagnostics to isolate faults across logic, I/O, communications, and controller operation, and perform controlled online interaction (including safe monitoring and verified changes).

Why You should take this training program
Many industrial facilities rely on Rockwell ControlLogix and CompactLogix systems, yet maintenance and operations teams often lack enough personnel who can confidently connect in Studio 5000, interpret live logic and tag conditions, and troubleshoot faults without relying on guesswork or unnecessary component replacement. This course addresses that gap by teaching technicians how to observe what the controller is “seeing,” verify system conditions, and isolate root cause across logic, I/O, communications, and controller state.
The updated program aligns to modern plant environments by using Studio 5000 Logix Designer and current workflows, emphasizing a technician-focused learning progression (hardware → communications → I/O → logic → execution → troubleshooting). Hands-on practice is integrated throughout the week using ControlLogix training hardware, including digital and analog I/O and simulated system faults, reinforcing consistent troubleshooting habits and safer controller interaction.

Training Program Description
Program Overview
This is a five-day (40-hour) program focused on programming awareness, maintenance practices, and structured troubleshooting for Rockwell ControlLogix and CompactLogix systems using Studio 5000 Logix Designer. Instruction blends guided discussion with hands-on labs using NTT-supplied training equipment and structured exercises.Core topic areas include (agenda-aligned):
- Logix platform & hardware fundamentals: platform differences, chassis/backplane concepts, and system architecture
- Studio 5000 environment & project organization: interface navigation, controller organizer structure, working with project files, and online vs. offline states
- Communications & controller interaction: communication paths and controller selection, controller modes, and upload/download procedures
- I/O configuration and troubleshooting: module properties/diagnostics, key compatibility concepts, and common communication failures
- Tags & data organization: controller/program tags, data types (including structured organization concepts), and tag monitoring for troubleshooting
- Ladder logic essentials and control patterns: instruction usage (timers/counters and related logic behavior), intermediate patterns, and monitoring logic behavior online
- Program organization & execution control: tasks/programs/routines, scan behavior, and how execution affects machine response
- Troubleshooting & maintenance: diagnostic indicators, cross-reference/tag monitoring tools, safe online interaction, and maintenance best practices
Hands-on application (integrated across all five days)
Hands-on exercises reinforce platform fundamentals, controller communication, I/O configuration, tag architecture, ladder logic troubleshooting, program execution, and a capstone troubleshooting/maintenance workflow.Student materials & lab environment
Participants use course materials (textbook/lab book) and train with ControlLogix equipment and field-device simulation to support guided practice. -
