The model 890-PEC-B Programmable Controller Troubleshooting Learning System teaches programming and troubleshooting of programmable controllers and their use in industrial, commercial, and residential applications. The 890-PEC-B System teaches PLC troubleshooting like no other product by providing a hands-on learning station that models real-world PLC-controlled machines with up to 40 faults that can be inserted into the system. The 890-PEC-B is the first product to offer a realistic PLC troubleshooting experience for students because the faults are inserted throughout the system, including inside the PLC!
The 890-PEC-B has the qualities of a real-world machine with relay-controlled start/stop power station, terminal strip I/O test points, operator station, and machine automation station. Students study various applications with live devices by plugging in one or more of the many application panels available. Each application panel models an actual machine system such as electro-pneumatic actuator, electric motor, analog devices and BCD/LED display. Application panels are even available for interfacing external devices such as robots, conveyors, and process control systems.
The 890-PEC-B supports training on multiple brands and models of PLCs, so one learning system can support training for many customized needs. The workstation console permits PLCs to be quickly mounted and connected. Models supported include Siemens S7, Allen-Bradley (PLC5, SLC500, and Control Logix), and Modicon (984 and Quantum).
