SE or ME?
Machine Edition runs on PanelView terminals; Site Edition is the PC-based supervisory system. The free HMI course covers ME; this course is SE.
Do I need a ControlLogix?
No. Logix Emulate or a simulated controller provides tags for every exercise.
Are the lessons official?
Most are Rockwell Automation's own videos, complemented by two independent creators; all are credited below.
Is the course really free?
Yes. Every module, practice task and assessment. You create an account so your progress is saved and the assessments can be marked. The certificate is the only paid item, and only if you want it.
What certificate do I get, and is it a Rockwell qualification?
An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a verification code anyone can check. It is not a Rockwell Automation credential and is never described as one.
