Stop staring at software theory. Start solving real-world machine downtime.
This physical, hands-on laboratory workbook is the ultimate companion to the Micro850 Training System. Built specifically for working technicians, it gives you a structured, shop-floor path to mastering Connected Components Workbench (CCW) software and hardware troubleshooting.
Minds-On Practical Troubleshooting
Most training manuals focus heavily on academic design theory or generic software definitions that don't prepare you for the reality of a live, faulted industrial control panel. This workbook flips that model upside down. Every single exercise is 100% hands-on and minds-on—focusing on the exact logic sequences, wiring dependencies, and software configurations you face every day in manufacturing plants and commercial facilities.
Built for the Realities of the Lab Bench
Wire-O Lay-Flat Binding: No more propping books open with screwdrivers or snapping paperback spines. It folds completely back on itself to save precious workspace on your table or desk.
No Smudge Note-Taking: Printed on premium uncoated stock, making it easy to scribble wiring checkmarks, tag references, and multi-meter readings directly on the page without ink smudging.
Step-by-Step Practical Progression: Designed to guide you seamlessly through Level 1 Core Skills up through advanced data integration.
What's Covered Inside
Hardware Mapping & Network Configurations: Establishing raw PC-to-controller communications, configuring local adapter settings, and mastering the subnet basics.
Software Architecture & Project Setup: Navigating the CCW programming environment, matching physical catalog numbers, and establishing live connections.
Bit Instructions & Basic Boolean Logic: Working through the "Examine if Open" paradox, building industrial seal-in logic, and identifying the split between physical electrical states and software states.
Timers & Counters: Implementing precise event counters and time-delays (TON, TOF, RTO, CTU, CTD) using exact software syntax configurations.
Who it is for:
Maintenance & Instrumentation Technicians looking to reduce time-to-repair.
Automation Technicians & Electricians cross-training on Rockwell Automation's micro-control platform.
Instructors & Training Managers needing a turnkey, lab-ready curriculum that works seamlessly with physical trainers.
