Target group
The WAGO I/O SYSTEM training is tailored for those individuals who have had hands-on work experience in programming and installing PLC or PC based industrial control systems. It is essential that attendees have knowledge of basic electronics, i.e. voltage, current and power relationships, and a basic knowledge of programming concepts.
Requirements
The training class includes several hands-on exercises with WAGO’s programming software, e!COCKPIT, and Ethernet-based controllers; therefore, we request that each attendee have a computer with RJ45 Ethernet connectivity along with Admin rights. It is also very important the computer is able to obtain multiple Ethernet connections simultaneously: one for the online meeting (usually wireless) and one for the PLC (wired).
Please have the latest version of e!COCKPIT downloaded prior to class. The FREE, 30 working day e!COCKPIT version can be downloaded at https://www.wago.com/us/d/swreg_ecockpit_c.
