Description
New in 2008, this course was developed for personnel whose primary interest and/or assignment is maintaining Ovation® hardware. Selected topics from the OV100-WIN, OV250-WIN, OV290-WIN, OV300-WIN and OV320-WIN courses are incorporated and expanded to cover hardware features of the controllers, the power supplies, the most commonly applied I/O modules, the Cisco switches, and the Dell MMIs.
Hardware information contained within node and module records are explained, and the criteria for adding and changing modules assigned to a branch and slot positions are defined.
Hands-on exercises include building control sheets and linking inputs and outputs to selected modules. Also included will be the application and activation of remote I/O, relay modules, serial link modules, and third-party I/O as well as an exercise requiring a complete reload of a software server in order to understand how to recover from a hard drive failure.
