Why this training
How Schneider 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. Schneider then comes in the multi-platform phase, in the session "Schneider: Machine Expert Basic, Zelio and Twido", beside the other brands and sessions on function block diagram and structured text.
Schneider
What you program in the Schneider session
The session as the course schedule names it, and the software behind it.
The Schneider session is “Schneider: Machine Expert Basic, Zelio and Twido”, in phase 4 of the AEP. It covers introduction and addressing in all three Schneider environments, then bit instructions, timers, counters and analog. EcoStruxure Machine Expert Basic is Schneider Electric's software for its Modicon M221 logic controllers. Zelio Logic is Schneider's smart relay range for small control jobs, and Twido an older compact PLC range.
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.
