Hands-On Labs
This is an introductory Lab that explores the features and functionality of FactoryTalk Optix v1.5. In the first section of the lab, you will be creating a brand-new project to get hands-on experience with fundamental concepts and configure the framework for the rest of the lab. The remaining sections are independent of other lab sections so you may select what you wish to learn about in any order.
This hands-on lab provides you with an opportunity to explore introductory features of FactoryTalk® View Site Edition (FactoryTalk View SE). If you are new to FactoryTalk View Site Edition and FactoryTalk ViewPoint, this hands-on lab provides the ability to learn foundational capabilities and features.
From an engineer’s point of view, learn to develop a PlantPAx® project using control strategies provided in the process libraries. Configure a process controller and HMI application while learning about time-saving features including global objects, tag-based alarms and smart device integration. Migration will also be discussed.
This session provides you with an opportunity to explore the Studio 5000 Logix Designer software and the ControlLogix hardware platform. The session steps through creating a new project, programming and downloading to a controller.
