Why this training
How ABB fits into the programme
Many plants run more than one PLC brand. Ladder logic, timers, counters and program structure work the same way from brand to brand; what changes is the software, the addressing and some instructions. So the programme teaches two brands in depth first, then the others.
The two taught in depth are Siemens and Allen-Bradley, 33 sessions between them. ABB then comes in the multi-platform phase, in the session "ABB CODESYS", beside the other brands and sessions on function block diagram and structured text.
ABB
What you program in the ABB session
The session as the course schedule names it, and the software behind it.
The ABB session is “ABB CODESYS”, in phase 4 of the AEP. It covers CODESYS V2.3 declarations and data types, bit and edge instructions, timers, counters, analog, comparison and logic. ABB's AC500 PLCs are programmed in Automation Builder, which is built on CODESYS, a programming environment for the IEC 61131-3 languages that many controller makers use. The classroom session teaches ABB programming in CODESYS; the free online course covers Automation Builder and the AC500. For ABB's own products and training, see ABB.
Most PLC software follows the IEC 61131-3 standard for ladder, function block diagram and structured text (see PLCopen), and the same phase has one session on function block diagram and one on structured text. The full syllabus lists every session; the brand list shows the brands the programme covers.

Ask us insteadYes, as part of the AEP. ABB is taught in the multi-platform phase, in the session "ABB CODESYS", after Siemens and Allen-Bradley have been taught in depth. The session covers CODESYS V2.3 declarations and data types, bit and edge instructions, timers, counters, analog, comparison and logic. It is not offered as a standalone course.
The session teaches ABB programming in CODESYS. Admissions can tell you which ABB hardware your batch uses. For Automation Builder and the AC500, the free online course goes further.
One session in the multi-platform phase. It comes after you have programmed two other brands in depth, so it concentrates on what differs in ABB: the software, the addressing and the instruction set. For more depth on ABB alone, take the free online course.
