The Series 90-30 Programming with VersaPro Part 1 course provides the fundamental tools for a new programmer to organize and implement a 90-30 program using VersaPro software. It provides an experienced instructor and a course that will guide the student by demonstrations and hands on lab exercises to develop programs based on real world applications..

Who should attend?

This class should be attended by personnel responsible for the development, maintenance, and modification of Ladder Diagram control programs for the Series 90-30 and 90 Micro PLCs. System specifiers and maintenance personnel who need to understand the Series 90-30 System and VersaPro should also attend this course.

Are there any prerequisites?

To obtain the maximum learning from this course, the participant should have a working knowledge of PLC based machine or process control. A basic understanding of ladder logic or a control programming language is a plus. As VersaPro will be run on WIN95 or Windows NT in this class, familiarity with a GUI (Graphical User Interface) windows-based operating system and use of a mouse as a pointing device is necessary.
