Course Overview

The Studio 5000 Logix Designer Level 4: Structured Text/Sequential Function Chart Programming (CCP154) course by Rockwell Automation is designed for automation professionals who need advanced programming skills in industrial control systems. This instructor-led training prepares engineers and maintenance personnel for complex programming tasks using Structured Text (ST) and Sequential Function Chart (SFC) languages within the Studio 5000 environment. Targeted at roles such as Control Systems Engineers, PLC Programmers, and Automation Technicians, this course builds on foundational Logix Designer knowledge to enable sophisticated logic development. With Rockwell Automation controlling over 30% of the global industrial automation market, proficiency in Studio 5000 is increasingly demanded by manufacturers, energy providers, and system integrators seeking reliable, scalable control solutions.

Participants gain hands-on experience with Rockwell Automation’s Studio 5000 Logix Designer software, ControlLogix 5000 controllers, and the ABT-TDCLX3-C workstation platform. The course includes extensive lab exercises where students configure and test Structured Text routines, design Sequential Function Charts from functional specifications, and implement logic control strategies using real-world simulation. Learners work directly in the Studio 5000 environment to program assignments, expressions, constructs, and SFC transitions, applying forces and step-through debugging techniques to validate logic. A key project involves translating a process control scenario into a fully operational SFC program, simulating batch processing or machine sequencing tasks common in manufacturing environments.

This course supports career advancement by preparing attendees for Rockwell Automation’s advanced programming certifications, which are recognized across the industrial automation sector. Professionals with Studio 5000 expertise earn median salaries of $95,000–$115,000 in North America, with demand growing due to the rise of smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0. Koenig Solutions enhances this training with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, official Rockwell Automation courseware, and optional 1-on-1 mentoring to ensure mastery. Graduates are equipped to design modular, maintainable control logic, positioning them for roles in system integration, plant modernization, and industrial IoT deployments.
