ORMEC Training classes

ORMEC's Training Department provides electronic motion control courses for engineers and technicians. The courses provide quality instruction on servo control technology, application development, system design and troubleshooting. Classes include but are not limited to:

ORMEC Training Classes

  • Advanced SMLC Application Development
  • ORION Application Development
  • ORION Maintenance & Troubleshooting 

Courses are held in Rochester, NY and are conducted classroom style combining lecture, discussion, and lab sessions. The labs are popular confidence builders with our students that reinforce the course materials through 'hands-on' interaction with the motion control hardware and software. Topics covered include:

  • How to program the SMLC using IEC 61131-3 (advanced course)
  • How to program the Orion and GEN3 Controllers (MotionBASIC, MotionDesk)
  • How to maintain the Orion
  • How to maintain the GEN3

ORMEC Training Philosophy

Our approach to motion control training blends classroom instruction and hands-on experience using high performance electronic motion control equipment.

As an alternative to attending classes in Rochester NY, on-site classes at your facility can be arranged. On-site training becomes economically feasible when a large group at a common location needs maintenance or programming training. Maintenance training is very effective when the course is tailored to your application. Contact us to arrange customized training services.

Class size is limited, so do not delay if you are interested in signing up for a class.

Customized training classes may also be scheduled.

IEC611-31-3 (PLCopen Certified)

ORMEC PLCopen certified training class

TRN-IEC

This three day class is for control system designers and engineers that program in IEC 61131-3. An overview of IEC 61131-3 will be presented which includes the advantages of this international accepted open standard. The CODESYS development environment and PLCopen Motion Control function blocks will be introduced. Students completing this course will be able to read and understand an IEC 61131-3 program and  know which language features are IEC compliant and which are vendor specific. ORMEC's ServoWire Pro configuration utility and standard program framework, which simplifies new application program development and organization, will be covered. A syllabus for the IEC 61131-3 Training course is available.

 

Requirements:

  • Laptop with local administrator rights.
  • Basic knowledge of PLC programming or high-level programming language.
  • CODESYS Pre-loaded.
  • ServoWire Pro Preloaded.
  • Ethernet Port.

Advanced SMLC Application Development

TRN-SMLC-ADV

This concentrated three day class is for control system designers, engineers, and programmers. A prerequisite is the completion of ORMEC's IEC 61131-3 Training Course or equivalent IEC 61131-3 experience. In addition, familiarity with ServoWire Pro and with the CODESYS IDE is assumed. The course covers application program design (with the emphasis on program structure and language selection), the design and development of functions and function blocks, data structure, debug tools and methods, HMI interfacing, I/O, and communication topics, including factory networks. Motion topics include servo tuning, programmable limit switches, motion queues, cams/profiles and electronic gearing. Students completing this course will be able to develop and debug machine control programs written for ORMEC's SMLC motion controller family. A syllabus for the Advanced SMLC Application Development course is available.

(This course is generally not recommended for technicians, electricians or those interested in learning only general capabilities or maintenance of SMLC systems.)

 

Requirements:

  • Completion of IEC61131-3 PLCOPEN CERTIFIED.
  • Laptop with local administrator rights.
  • Basic knowledge of PLC programming or high-level programming language.
  • CODESYS Pre-loaded.
  • ServoWire Pro Preloaded.
  • Ethernet Port.

TRN-MNT-V5: ORION Maintenance & Troubleshooting

TRN-MNT-V5

This two and one-half day class is ideal for technicians responsible for maintaining ORION motion control systems. ORION hardware and architecture are covered along with an introduction to pertinent programming commands. Students perform the steps necessary to pinpoint failed components and restart a system. Students should acquire the confidence and ability to locate problem hardware in an ORION application. Both MotionPro & MotionDesk programming environments are covered --- providing skills to support systems using traditional analog drives and ORMEC ServoWire drive technology.
