PLC Trainer

PLC Trainer

34-500

The Feedback PLC Trainer provides a platform for the student to learn about the implementation of PLCs and apply hardware and software programming. By using structured courseware, students are able to follow a series of exercises designed to deliver a progressive level of learning. These involve interaction with different areas of the circuit board, with applications such as logic gates, seven-segment LED displays, switch decoding and stepper motor control.

The student manual encompasses the fundamentals of PLC hardware and software through to basic program writing and more advanced applications which include motor control. The board incorporates Feedback’s unique “plug and play” concept, whereby connections to a PLC are facilitated by using robust D type connectors, rather than by terminating individual  wires.

The Feedback PLC Trainer is provided with a user manual, program examples and solutions and can be provided with state of the art PLCs from Siemens, Allen Bradley or Mitsubishi.
