The Practical Guide to Micro800 PLC Programming and CCW
The most impactful course you'll find online, designed to transform your future and taught by YouTube's PLC Technician, Tim Wilborne. Our Free Connected Components Workbench (CCW) Course for the Micro800 PLC is your most economical and effective path to becoming an Allen-Bradley PLC programming professional.
This course uses Rockwell Automation’s Micro800 PLC line and is the ideal starting point for learning industrial automation. Whether you are using a Micro810 or a Micro870, we cover the real-world standalone machine applications you'll face in the field.
Why This Course Stands Out:
Zero-Cost Entry: Use the Free CCW Standard Edition software to build and test your logic.
Professional Skillset: Beyond basic PLC code, gain hands-on expertise with the PanelView 800 HMI and PowerFlex 525 AC drive.
Studio 5000 Ready: Learn in an environment designed to bridge the gap to high-end Logix systems.
Technician-Focused: This is an immersive, "Hands On" and "Minds On" experience—designed by a technician, for technicians.
Recommended Hardware for this Course. To truly bridge the gap from theory to "Hands-On" skills, we recommend practicing on a physical Micro850 controller. These trainers are specifically designed to support the lessons found throughout this course:
Micro850 PLC Trainer with Analog, AC Drive, and Motor. This is the core trainer for our CCW course. It includes everything you need to master PLC logic, analog signals, and PowerFlex 525 AC drive integration.
Micro850 PLC Trainer with HMI Upgrade. Stepping up to the HMI version adds the PanelView 800, allowing you to follow along with our operator interface design and communication lessons.
Micro850 PLC Trainer with IO Link and Motion Control. Our most comprehensive Micro850 system. This unit is built for manufacturing environments, featuring IO Link sensors and Linear Motion Control to cover the advanced automation chapters of the course.
