PLC trainer to learn Allen Bradley Controllogix / Compactlogix PLC and Powerflex 525 AC drives.

This comprehensive training solution is perfect for students, technicians, and engineers seeking to deepen their understanding of programmable logic controllers and how they integrate with the rest of the devices on the manufacturing floor. In addition to learning PLC programming, you will learn how to wire and diagnose problems in industrial control systems. All circuits in these self paced lessons are 24VDC.

• Allen Bradley Compactlogix PLC includes 16 discrete 24VDC inputs and 16 discrete 24VDC outputs. The Powerflex 525 has one 4-20mA and one 0-10VDC analog input which can be read by the Compactlogix over Ethernet to cover the analog exercises.  It requires the Studio 5000 Logix Designer software, formerly RsLogix 5000, which must be purchased separately and uses the Studio 5000 Programming for the Controllogix and Compactlogix PLC lessons.

• Powerflex 525 AC drive is wired to the 3 phase fan and communicates with the PLC over Ethernet.
