4. Common Elements
	a. Character set b. Data Typing c. Variables d. Comments (* *) e. POUs
5. Programming Languages
	a. Graphic b. Textual
6. Creating POUs 7. User defined Data Block
	a. Create data type (structure) for top level Function Block created in 6b. b. Create an array of this data type. c. Demonstrate how to use this array to do recipe based configuration of the top level function block from 6b.
8. Library creation
	a. Store top level Function Block and associated data block as library objects and import into a new project.
9. Create simple state machine using SFC and abbreviated OMAC state model
	a. Set up linear SFC with Alternative Parallel branching.

Wrap-up

Class Material:
This class is presented over the web. Students will receive instructions how to log in to the web training system.

Prerequisites:
1) Two computers with internet connection, or 1 computer with internet connection and dual monitors
2) Telephone or computer headset

Class Format:
NOTE SPECIAL SCHEDULING: The complete course will be comprised of three live, web-based sessions. The first session of the course begins on Day One at the scheduled time and runs for 4 hours. The second and third session will follow on the next two days at the same scheduled time for 4 hours each. The class consists of approximately 40% lecture and 60% programming exercises.

Overview of the technical setup:
1. You'll be looking at two computer screens and listening on the phone. This means you need 2 computers, or else a computer with dual monitors. One screen displays the WebEx presentation. The other screen is the "Virtual Machine".
2. The "Virtual Machine" is simply a PC that you remotely control from your own computer. The instructor can also see the screen of each of these Virtual Machine PCs and assist you during exercises as needed.
3. You'll call in on the phone to a WebEx conference call in order to communicate with the instructor.

You will be given detailed instructions for testing the virtual machine 1-2 days before class starts.
