Course Overview
The SLC 500 and RSLogix 500 Advanced Maintenance and Troubleshooting (CCPS45) course by Rockwell Automation is designed for maintenance technicians, control engineers, and automation specialists responsible for managing complex SLC 500 systems in industrial environments. This advanced 4-day instructor-led training builds on foundational knowledge to prepare professionals for real-world troubleshooting scenarios involving RSLogix 500 software and SLC 500 programmable controllers. While no formal certification exam is tied directly to CCPS45, the skills align with Rockwell Automation’s broader industrial automation certification pathways. With over 70% of legacy manufacturing facilities in North America still operating SLC 500 systems, this course meets critical industry demand for experts who can maintain and optimize aging but mission-critical infrastructure.
Participants gain hands-on experience with key Rockwell Automation technologies including RSLogix 500, RSLinx, PanelView terminals, RSView32, and the Automated System Trainer, which simulates real-world I/O conditions. The lab environment integrates Universal I/O Simulators and physical SLC 500 processors, allowing students to configure and troubleshoot advanced functions such as PID control, shift registers, sequencers, and message instructions over Data Highway Plus (DH+) networks. A core component involves diagnosing block transfer and discrete data issues across remote I/O links, using RSLinx tools to monitor network traffic and resolve communication faults. One major project requires setting up an SLC 500 system on a DH+ network and resolving simulated faults in indexed addressing and interrupt routines, mirroring actual plant-floor challenges.
Graduates of the SLC 500 and RSLogix 500 Advanced Maintenance and Troubleshooting (CCPS45) course are equipped to support high-availability production systems, a skillset that commands a median salary of $85,000–$105,000 for industrial maintenance roles in the U.S. Koenig Solutions enhances this official Rockwell Automation curriculum with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling and access to expert instructors via 1-on-1 training options, ensuring personalized mastery of complex diagnostics. As industries continue to extend the life of proven automation platforms, completing this course positions professionals to lead in operational excellence, reduce downtime, and advance into senior controls or engineering roles.
