ORMEC Training Services
Training

ORMEC's Training Department provides formal electronic motion control courses for engineers and technicians. The courses provide quality instruction on servo control technology, application development, system design and troubleshooting.

  • IEC 61131-3 Training (PLCopen Certified)
  • Advanced SMLC Application Development
  • ORION Application Development
  • ORION Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Courses are held on a regular basis in Rochester, NY and are conducted classroom style combining lecture, discussion, and lab sessions. The labs are popular confidence builders with our students reinforcing the course materials through "hands-on" interaction with the motion control hardware and software. Topics covered include:

  • How to use IEC 61131-3 (beginner course)
  • How to program the SMLC using IEC 61131-3 (advanced course)
  • How to program the Orion and GEN3 Controllers (MotionBASIC, MotionDesk)
  • How to set up the G-Series Drive (UltraTools)
  • How to maintain the SMLC
  • How to maintain the Orion
  • How to maintain the GEN3

ORMEC Training Philosophy

ORMEC's approach to motion control training provides a blend of classroom instruction and hands-on experience with high performance electronic motion control systems.

As an alternative to attending classes in Rochester NY, you may arrange for on-site classes at your facility. On-site training becomes economically feasible when a large group at a common location needs maintenance or programming training. Maintenance training is very effective when the course is tailored to your application. Contact us to arrange customized training services.

TRN-IEC

This is a three day class for control system designers and engineers programming in IEC 61131-3. An overview of IEC 61131-3 will be presented which includes the advantages of this international accepted open standard. The CoDeSys development environment and PLCopen Motion Control function blocks will be introduced. Students completing this course will be able to read and understand an IEC 61131-3 program, know which language features are IEC compliant and which are vendor specific. ORMEC's ServoWire Pro configuration utility and standard program framework, which simplifies new application program development and organization, will be covered. A syllabus for the IEC 61131-3 Training course is available.

TRN-SMLC-ADV

This three day class is a concentrated course for control system designers, engineers, and programmers. The prerequisites are completion of ORMEC's IEC 61131-3 Training Course, or equivalent IEC 61131-3 experience. In addition, familiarity with ServoWire Pro and with the CoDeSys IDE is assumed. The course covers application program design (with the emphasis on program structure and language selection), the design and development of functions and function blocks, data structure, debug tools and methods, HMI interfacing, I/O and communication topics, including factory networks. Motion topics include servo tuning, programmable limit switches, motion queues, cams/profiles and electronic gearing. Students completing this course will be able to develop and debug machine control programs written for ORMEC's SMLC motion controller family. A syllabus for the Advanced SMLC Application Development course is available.

(This course is generally not recommended for technicians, electricians or those interested in learning only general capabilities or maintenance of SMLC systems.)

TRN-ORN-DV 

This five day class is a concentrated course for control system designers, engineers, and programmers. In this class the student develops an entire application project from start to finish. ORION motion controller architecture and hardware are emphasized as well as ServoWire Drives. The student uses MotionDesk programming environment software to configure and program a MotionBASIC application which increases in complexity as the class progresses. At class conclusion the finished project includes a multi-threaded application program which runs independent machines with an error handler that implements failure recovery and error logging. The finished application also features a touch-panel HMI as well as network communications.

(This course is generally not recommended for technicians, electricians or those interested in learning only general capabilities or maintenance of MB systems.)

TRN-MNT-V5

This two and one-half day class is ideal for technicians responsible for maintaining ORION motion control systems. ORION hardware and architecture are covered along with an introduction to pertinent programming commands. Students perform the steps necessary to pinpoint failed components, and restart a system. Students should acquire the confidence and ability to locate problem hardware in an ORION application. Both MotionPro & MotionDesk programming environments are covered --- providing skills to support systems using traditional analog drives and ORMEC’s ServoWire drive technology.
