The 87-IOSAB53A includes a PLC Simulator Module using a PLC separate from the Mechatronics cart to simulate inputs via writing PLC programs. This combination of hands-on skill practice and comprehensive curriculum will further ingrain programmable controller concepts and applications in a learner’s mind and make more advanced topics easier to comprehend. This system will cover major topic areas like: basic programming, PLC motor control, PLC timer and counter instructions, event sequencing, application development, program control instructions, and math and data move instructions.
Amatrol’s PLC Learning System – Siemens S7-1500 (87-IOSS715) provides an input/output simulator that allows learners to test PLC programs by providing manual input and output indicators that connect to a Siemens S7-1500 PLC input/output. This Siemens PLC program simulation system adds to Amatrol’s Mechatronics Learning System – Siemens S7-1500 (870-S715) and covers vital PLC training topics like PLC operation, programming, motor control, event sequencing, timer instructions, and counter instructions. The knowledge and skills covered by this PLC training system are extremely valuable for advanced manufacturing career opportunities like industrial maintenance technicians.
In addition to the PLC simulator module, the PLC training system for the Siemens S7-1500 PLC includes interactive multimedia curriculum, an instructor’s guide, an installation guide, and a student reference guide. Amatrol’s world-class multimedia training courses provide real-world technical knowledge that covers theoretical concepts and reinforces hands-on skills. Within this PLC online eLearning curriculum, learners will study PLC communications and program execution, PLC program editing and documentation, seal-in program logic, safety interlocks, multiple actuator sequencing, on-delay and off -delay timers, and count up and count down instructions.
The Mechatronics Manual Fault Insertion Training Module (87-MF1) adds troubleshooting capabilities to Amatrol’s 870 series Mechatronics system. Mechatronics systems are used in almost every industry including manufacturing, material processing, and packaging. The ability to troubleshoot these systems quickly is essential in today’s competitive markets and the Mechatronics Manual Fault Insertion training can enable your learners to acquire these skills.
The 87-MF1 Module provides the ability to insert 12 faults to a mechatronics station. Add a module to one or all of your mechatronics stations to give learners a real-world troubleshooting experience. Sensors, switches, and PLC faults are just a few of the available faults. To insert a fault, the instructor simply replaces a Standard Circuit Plug in the module with a Fault Plug. Once inserted, the Fault Plug is unidentifiable from the Standard Circuit Plug. This ensures that the learner cannot look at the fault module and see which fault has been inserted, avoiding the common problem of using toggle switches to turn faults on and off.
If you want a more sophisticated fault insertion method that provides computer-based electronic fault insertion and performance tracking, ask about Amatrol’s electronic fault insertion system, FaultPro, the only electronic fault insertion system that automates tracking the learner’s troubleshooting experience.
