Introduction
B&R USA has finished pilot evaluation and has rolled out an online training option. The seminars utilize the ARSim functionality to allow customers to learn with and practice the same exercises covered by the in-person seminars and are split into two weeks of half day sessions. To ensure the same level of one-on-one interaction, the trainings are delivered via GoToTraining to allow the instructor to present as well as debug any software or coding issues a trainee might encounter.
Prerequisite | Duration | Course Number |
|---|---|---|
4 half-days | SOT210.4A |
- You’ll be able to use the programming tool Automation Studio and its help system.
- You’ll be able to configure hardware functions and set up CPU simulation.
- You’ll be able to configure the target’s network options and use Target Browser to find the target.
- You’ll be able to create, compile, and transfer project to target. Ladder Diagram will be the language of choice for the basic courses, but the instructor can provide guidance for using Structured Text or ANSI C.

- You’ll be able to use standard functions (e.g. compare and compute) and function blocks (e.g. timers and counters) in Ladder Diagram.
- You’ll be able to store project source files on the target.
- You’ll be able to utilize common Automation Runtime features, such as cycle time adjustment.
- You’ll be able to use System Diagnostics Manager, Runtime Utility Center, and Automation Studio to troubleshoot hardware issues and diagnose software bugs.
Benefits
- Same quality content as all Automation Academy trainings
- Eliminated travel costs – Airfare, hotels, car rentals, meals
- Increased availability – Removing hardware shipments reduces lead time
- Reduced down time – Trainees are available for regular work before/after half-day sessions
Limitations
- Same limitations as in-person trainings through Automation Academy
- No videos offered for offline use – Must participate in real time
