ESX.4cl-ag: Programming of the controller with logi.CAD 3

Description

The course explains the hardware functions of the ESX.4cl-ag controller and the programming with logi.CAD 3 including the STW-specific software, plug-ins, libraries and tools.

The course is intended for developers, who will program own applications for the ESX.4cl-ag.

The theoretical course content will be deepened with programming examples from practice.

Objectives

The participant

• Knows hard- and software requirements for programming the ESX.4cl-ag
• Knows the STW technical documentation and is able to use it for target-oriented research
• Is able to program own applications with logi.CAD 3 and the STW software package
• Is able to upload software on the ESX.4cl-ag, change parameters and monitor the controller

Prerequisites

Basic programming knowledge, ideally with logi.CAD 3, at least knowledge of programming electronic controllers.
