Course Description

This class will teach you everything you need to know about PowerFlex 525 Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)This class takes a hands on approach; within the first few lectures, we will start working with actual hardware and begin exploring the PowerFlex 525. Throughout the course, you can expect me to provide you will start to finish information in order to wire the drive, setup the parameters & control it through a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
The class is broken down into sequential modules &assumes no prior knowledge from the student. We take one step at a time & build the knowledge in every lecture. We make sure to discuss common pitfalls and best practices when it comes to working with this family of frequency drives.
What are the requirements for the class?
You don't need any hardware or software to follow the lectures. However, in order to get the most out of the lectures, it's recommended to take notes, go through the manual (included in the class) & to implement the steps on your own time.
Basic computer literacy is assumed.
What can I expect from this class?
You will learn about the hardware & how to install it within a manufacturing environment.
You will learn about the different parameters which need to be configured in order to properly setup & utilize the PowerFlex 525 VFD.
You will learn basic control methods which don't require any additional hardware.
You will learn advanced control methods which utilize the EtherNet/IP protocol as well as an 1769-L24ER-QB1B PLC Allen Bradley Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
You will become confident in working with these Variable Frequency Drives.
What is the target audience for the class?
Electrical Engineers looking for a crash course on VFDs.
Electrical Technicians / Electricians looking to expand their knowledge into controls.
Software Engineers who are seeking to learn about controlling hardware.
Manufacturing Operators looking to progress in their career.
Anyone interested in how manufacturing processes are executed.
Who this course is for:

S, explica claramente el hardware con un equipo que se usa y adems conoce del tema

By Felix A. Munguia on 11/8/2020

It is only my "opinion" that the instructor could improve the following areas:
1) Instructor should slow down his speeh.
2) In the last several sections the instructor was going extremely fast and I could not follow him.
3) Again in the last sections the instructor was not prepared in his presentation and was making logic up (programing) by the seat of his pants.
4) The LED screen on the VFD was non visible sometimes because the instructor's camera was not focus and align in such a way that it was visible.
Over all my advice to the instructor is that he should have taken more time to complete this course. Slow down when you speak, if you are going to use logic in your presentation then you should explain it, the class lack more substance. It was evident that it was put together quickly. The above mention comment are only my opinion please judge for yourself.

Overall the course was good. I wish there was more on the programming part - including some more tips on good ladder logic practice.
