The ABB IRC5 Electrical Service course is designed to teach students how to identify the electrical components, theory of operation, and introduce proper troubleshooting procedures on the robot controller.  Approximately 50% of this course is hands-on troubleshooting of actual robot systems and controllers.

Topics include:

  • Theory of operation of the robot controller
  • Safety precautions used while troubleshooting the robot controller electrical system
  • Description of components in the robot controller
  • Principles of logical troubleshooting from power-up through emergency stop loop and servo system
  • Input/Output interfacing between the robot controller and peripheral equipment.

  • Certification Offered: Yes
  • Pass/Fail: Yes
  • Prerequisite:

    This class is not intended for beginner students. It is designed for students who are proficient at programming robots or who have taken the ABB IRC5 Programming I Class. If you have no experience programming robots, the outcome may not meet your expectations. If you do not meet the experience criteria for this class, you may want to consider attending the ABB IRC5 Programming I class first.

    Students should be familiar with the use of electronic test equipment (voltmeter and oscilloscope)
    Students should have a basic understanding of digital electronics

    IRC5 Programming I (US420) is strongly recommended

    Basic computer skills are required. Windows 98, 2000, XP knowledge is preferred. Electrical Safety Knowledge is preferred.
