Hello,
I am sorry I am sure this has been asked before but I did some searching and didn't find much. I have no experience with PLC's and my manager has suggested I take some classes to fill a void in our team's skill set. We use Allen Bradley PLC's and have a seat of RSlogix5000. I hope to learn how to modify existing programs for some of our test equipment. I want to add sensors to some existing test equipment and record data generated by these sensors. My question for this group is If you were just getting started and you had a budget for a week of training what classes would you take? Where would you take them? My manger and I realize a week of training may barely scratch the surface. Is Allen Bradley's training worth the time and money for travel? Is there local 3rd party training I can find in the Cleveland area that teaches RSlogix5000?
I am thinking about the below courses.
CCP146 Conrtol Logix 5000 System Fundementals

and CCP 151 Basic Ladder logic

Also what is the difference between RSlogix 5000 and RSlogix 500?
