Logix Systems
CompactLogix and ControlLogix
CIC’s Logix training stream focuses on the Allen-Bradley CompactLogix and ControlLogix platform. These controllers are used on individual machines as well as connected production lines and plant systems. Choose this stream if you or your team work with these controllers or need to develop Logix-platform skills.
The training progression covers RSLogix 5000 and Studio 5000 Logix Designer. The software version used depends on the controller and its firmware.
Before you start
No previous Logix experience is assumed. General electrical or controls experience helps.
Maintaining existing machinery and developing applications are separate pathways. Compare the pathways if your responsibilities differ.
Choose your platform first, then the course level that matches your experience and responsibilities. You do not need to complete the Small PLC stream before starting Logix.
Not sure which stream fits? Tell CIC the PLC model or software used on your site and we’ll help you choose.
Practical outcomes
What you will practise
- Identify Logix hardware, I/O and communications on a dedicated trainer station
- Navigate projects in RSLogix 5000 and Studio 5000
- Read core ladder logic in Logix applications
- Prove I/O from the field device to the controller in trainer-station exercises
Why this is useful at work
For you as a learner
Build foundations for navigating Logix projects and relating controller I/O to field devices.
For your maintenance or engineering team
Establish a common starting point for staff moving onto or supporting Logix equipment.
Practical learning
Connect the logic to the equipment
Work through the course outcomes using progressive ladder-logic exercises and practical trainer work. Relate the application to its inputs, outputs and connected devices, with opportunities to discuss your approach with the instructor.
