Inside a laboratory for automation technologies, the trainer is the necessary tool for developing solutions and control simple automation processes. Built using industrial components, the trainer enables the development of solutions
to control machines or simple installations, and can be used in the field of Building Automation or in others. The logic module installed in the trainer is one of the most powerful and widespread in both industrial and civil field. It
provides many digital inputs and outputs accessible by means of terminals of Ø 4 mm and Ø 2 mm present on the front panel of the trainer. The digital outputs are available as transistor outputs. The digital inputs and outputs logic state is displayed on the PLC screen. The analog signals processing allows it to be used within the industrial regulations in closed-loop PI controls.
TRAINING PROGRAM:
The trainer enables the theoretical analysis and the experiments on the following main exercises:
• Instructions processing: the cycle concept
• Communications protocol: TCP/IP
• Boolean Algebra
