MP2000iec Advanced Programming Workshop #1 Rotary Knife

Class Number: TRM020-MP2000iec-APW1
Class Location:
Class Cost: $490

Class Topics:
The MP2000iec Advanced Programming Workshop is designed to give technicians, engineers and programmers the opportunity to learn to successfully organize and program an MP2300Siec controller for a rotary knife application, using MotionWorks IEC – Pro and Yaskawa’s “Toolbox” user libraries. Starting with a desktop demo and a partially completed program template, the student will follow the Application Resource Manual to successfully organize and program the application. A realistic demo simulator, consisting of a rotary disc and conveyor, will be used for final testing. Class topics include but are not limited to:

Day 1
Program the application using a partially completed program template and an application resource manual.

  • The student will solve the application using Yaskawa’s user libraries. These include PLCopen Toolbox and Cam Toolbox.
  • Significant attention is aimed at these function blocks
    • ProductBuffer
    • CamGenerator
    • CamStructSelect
    • CamBlend
  • Major concepts to be implemented are
    • Latching and buffering a number of master positions based on sensor input
    • Master Shift to compensate for products with random spacing
    • Generating the cam profile within the controller
    • Blending cam profiles together for smooth start and stop
  • Each student works alone at his/her own pace with a desktop demo. The instructor acts as a “consultant”, providing limited assistance as necessary.

Day 2
Continue making further refinements in order to produce a robust and complete application program.


Prerequisites:
  1. Complete the class MP2000iec Application Programming using MotionWorks IEC (TRM010-MP2000iec-AppProg) or equivalent. Equivalent programming experience will be considered in place of this class on a case-by-case basis.
  2. Complete the eLearning Module eLM.MotionWorksIEC.01.ProIntro and submit the certification test.
  3. Complete the eLearning Video eLV.MotionWorksIEC.01.CamDemo
  4. This class is math-intensive. The student is expected to be able to generate and understand mathematical equations, given the explanations and illustrations in the Application Resource Manual. If you’re not sure if this class is right for you, call the Technical Training Services at 1-800-YASKAWA (927-5292) dial 4.

Class Format:
This class runs from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm on day 1, and 8:30 am to 3:00 pm on day 2, with a one-hour lunch and two 15-minute breaks. The desktop demo may be checked out for the evening of day 1, should the student wish to work outside of class. The class consists of approximately 5% lecture and 95% hands-on exercises.

Class Cost:
Contact Yaskawa for pricing at 1-800-YASKAWA (927-5292) dial 4. The fee that you will be charged includes all training documents, a light snack each morning, and a lunch each day. Costs associated with travel, lodging, and evening meals are not included and are the student's responsibility.
