The company I work for uses A-B Micrologix 1000 PLC controllers to run any machine we can't run on switches and relays. My boss's brother in law, an electrical engineer by trade, used to program everything, but he passed away last year and we didn't think to have him explain to us how it all worked.
We just finished building a new machine, and we need it programmed. I have successfully connected the PLC to our laptop with Rslogix and have created the driver. No matter what I read, no tutorial on programming really makes all this stuff make sense. Are there any resources out there for people like me? I'm pretty good with computers for the most part, but for some reason I can't seem to really grasp how this all works.
I'll have to ask my community college to see if any professors are willing to lend a student a hand even if I'm not taking one of their courses.
Thanks guys.
