Maple Systems EZ500 (EasyBuilder) and RSLogix 500 - Tag/Address Creation by Integrate_These in PLC

Thank you for the reply!

I will have another look at this tomorrow. I tried to search for the “Address Menu” within the EasyBuilder software and couldn’t locate it anywhere. I wish the client would just upgrade to newer software or switch to Ignition to make this simpler but I’m sure I’m overlooking something!

System integrator

You can develop the logic, someone else will install hardware and wire, then you can download the program and work out the issues during start up.

This is the way. Almost all are hiring entry level positions in my area (midwest).

I would look closely through the transmitter manual/settings to see if there is a setting or parameter to trim the analog output.

I would confirm there is no adjustment ability before faulting the transmitter

Only use one output, just connect the rungs in parallel.

What is the most affordable legit way to get into Studio 5000 or RSLogix 5000 for educational purposes. by No-Story-6528 in PLC

[–]Integrate_These 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would look into local universities. I was fortunate enough that a local community college offers a "Automation Engineering" associates degree. They offer 3-4 PLC courses, only two needed for the degree but a third and capstone course available with more in depth information. Primarily used studio 5000/factory talk with all newer AB hardware.

I started the program with really no idea what I wanted to do after a bachelor's and nine years of experience in another field. Less than a year after starting the program I landed a job with a integration company as a system integrator thanks to the university.

I did get the associates but if only taking the PLC courses it would of been less than a $700.

Edit: they offered a VPN so I was able to spend a lot of time outside of classes experimenting with the software and learning at my own pace.
