Class Topics: The MP900 Series Application Programming using MotionWorks Version 5 class is designed to give technicians, engineers and programmers the opportunity to learn to program an MP900 controller using three programming methods: (1) Motion Command Code, (2) Function Blocks, and (3) Structured text Motion Programming. The class is heavily weighted toward Function Block programming. Since MP900 applications tend to be highly specific and unique, the goal is to learn the most common software navigation skills and programming features, and to learn how to use the resources available. Class topics include but are not limited to:

Yaskawa Backgrounds & Products. MP Controllers Family. Software Packages. System Configuration. Motion Parameters. Registers Management. Ladder Commands & Drawings. Jogging, Homing & Positioning via Motion Commands. Application Setup. Ladder Tools & Commands. Data Trace & Tuning. Position Slaving in Ladder (Camming/Gearing). System Registers & Trouble shooting techniques. Group Definition. Motion Program Commands & Programs. Motion Trajectories. Linear & Circular Interpolations. MP Modules and M-Link Network Network Modules MP Control Modes Ladder and Motion Control Programming Commands and Techniques Support Functions System registers and Troubleshooting techniques SVB/SVA Templates Function Blocks Class Exercises. Class Test.

Class Materials:

Students will receive a copy of the class training manual as well as selected product user and instruction manuals in paper and/or electronic format. Prerequisites:

This is a highly technical class intended only for the highest-level users. Experience with ladder programming is required. This class will NOT concentrate on ladder programming techniques required for successful implementation of an application, but rather it will concentrate on how different controller features work individually. Successful completion of the SigmaII Applications training class is highly recommended. A good working knowledge of the binary and hexadecimal numbering systems is also required. If you're not sure if this class is right for you, please call the training coordinator at 847-887-7228.

Class Format:
This class runs from 8:30 to 5:00 pm each day, with a one-hour lunch and two 15-minute breaks. The class consists of approximately 20% lecture and 80% programming exercises.

Class Cost:

Contact Yaskawa for pricing. The fee that you will be charged includes all training documents, a continental breakfast each morning, and a lunch each day. Costs associated with travel, lodging, and evening meals are not included and are the student's responsibility.
