Motion Control Training

Richer presentation, more graphics, photos and tables.ORMEC established its Training Department to offer a valuable service to our customers. ORMEC conducts formal courses for engineers and technicians interested in electronic motion control. These courses provide quality instruction on servo control technology, application development, system design and troubleshooting.

ORMEC’s training courses are held on a regular schedule in Rochester NY, and are conducted classroom style combining lecture, discussion, and lab sessions. The labs are popular confidence builders with our students as they reinforce the course materials through "hands-on" interaction with the motion control hardware and software.

On-Site Courses

As an alternative to attending classes in Rochester NY, customers may arrange for On-Site classes held at their own facilities. The On-Site training service becomes economically feasible when a large group at a customer location requires maintenance or programming training. Often maintenance training sessions benefit when the training course is tailored to the customer’s application. Customized training services are available from ORMEC, and can be arranged by contacting the Training Department.

Course Overview and Descriptions

ORION Application Development
This five (5) 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 an 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 touchscreen 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 ORION systems.)

ORION Maintenance & Troubleshooting
This two and one-half (2½) day class is ideal for technicians who will maintain ORION motion control systems. ORION hardware and architecture are covered 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 latest ServoWire drive technology.
