Course Objectives
After successfully completing this course, you will be able to:
- Describe the different types of microblocks.
- Read a sequence of operations and translate it into a control program.
- Simulate a control program to find errors.
- Define microblock properties.
Prerequisites
None.
EIKON® I
If you have little or no experience with the ALC programming tool EIKON, this class is for you. The EIKON I course has been developed for individuals that not only need to read and understand logic pages, but also edit and engineer logic for a WebCTRL system.
Traditional Classroom
A live instructor will lead up to 12 students (course dependent) in hands-on exercises with minimal lecture in between. Using the situated learning techniques of the Kirkpatrick Model, this methodology fosters a collaborative learning environment where students are positioned to maximize knowledge retention. This course is a 2-day event.
Instructor-Led eLearning
A live instructor will lead students using video conferencing and remote access software. The student will have remote access to a training station to complete hands-on tasks, giving them a virtual classroom experience from many miles away. This course is hosted in the same 2-day timeframe and manner as the traditional classroom format.
Video-Led Virtual
The video-led virtual training allows the student to take up to 9 business days to complete the equivalent of a 1-3-day, instructor-led course. Using video tutorials as the instructor, students will execute the workbook tasks and upload assignments using the Automated Logic Training Portal, asking questions through the discussion board where a dedicated instructor will facilitate. This format also offers “instructor hours” where students have live contact with a certified instructor and other registered students.
