Course Purpose

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to demonstrate fundamental motion control concepts common to all Rockwell Automation motion control systems. This course is designed to provide you with an understanding of the concepts, terminology, functionality and applications of motion control. In addition, you will also learn how motion control applications function using the concepts and principles discussed in each lesson.

This course will allow you to establish the strong essential foundation you need before learning the skills necessary to maintain and program motion control systems.

This course does not address motion control system design or specific motion control software programming. If you are seeking training in these areas, you should enroll in the relevant Rockwell Automation training courses, making sure you have fulfilled the prerequisites for those courses prior to enrollment.

Objectives

After completing this course, students should be able to perform the following tasks:

  • Identify:
    • Servo motion elements
    • Motion drive elements
    • Motor types and components
    • Feedback devices
  • Trace the power supply circuit
  • Create a motion profile
  • Identify and apply a reference
  • Trace signal flow through the drive control module
  • Identify and scale loads

Who Should Attend

Individuals who need to learn basic motion control concepts for their job or as a prerequisite for attending other motion control courses should attend this course.

Prerequisites

To successfully complete this course, the following prerequisites are required:

  • A background in basic electricity, electronics, and computer concepts
  • A basic knowledge of controllers operation

Student Materials

To enhance and facilitate the students’ learning experiences, the following materials are provided as part of the course package:

  • Student Manual includes the key concepts, definitions, examples, and activities presented in this course
  • Lab Book provides learning activities and hands-on practice. Solutions are included after each exercise for immediate feedback
  • Studio 5000 Logix Designer and Logix5000 Motion Control Procedures Guide provides the procedures for performing motion control tasks in a Logix5000™ system using Studio 5000 Logix Designer® and RSLinx® Classic software

Hands-on Practice

Throughout this course, you will have the opportunity to practice the skills you have learned through a variety of hands-on exercises using the Kinetix 6000 Servo Drive workstation (ABT-TD20941) and a ControlLogix – No Motion (10-slot chassis) workstation (ABT-TDCLX3-C). Exercises focus on the skills introduced in each lesson. You will use the Kinetix® and ControlLogix® workstations, containing real and simulated devices, to practice the tasks involved in working with a motion control application.

Next Level Learning

Once you have an understanding of the topics and skills covered in this course, you may want to attend specific motion training such as:
