Since PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) was firstly introduced in 1970, it has been widely applied to various industries such as machine and process controls. Designed with the latest microprocessor and electronic circuitry, today’s compact-size PLCs feature high level of reliability, performance, speed and networking. The use of PLCs in automated production lines enhances system reliability, product quality, information sharing, efficiency and flexibility and thus reduces costs.
PLC-100 is a self-contained trainer which consists of a FATEK PLC main unit and commonly used I/O devices for simulation. It provides students with a thorough understanding of the theories and applications of programmable logic controllers. This trainer enables students to learn step by step from the fundamentals of PLC to more advanced controls used in industry.
