Overview
This portable PLC trainer kit is designed for industrial automation education, vocational training, engineering laboratories, and hands-on PLC learning. It is available with a Siemens S7-1200 or Allen-Bradley Micro850 control platform. Depending on the selected configuration, the system integrates PLC control, touchscreen HMI operation, VFD motor control, industrial Ethernet and RS485 communication, analog signal training, PID control, push buttons, indicator lights, terminal wiring, and practical automation experiments in one compact aluminum training case.
The Siemens configuration is programmed with TIA Portal, while the Allen-Bradley Micro850 configurations use Connected Components Workbench (CCW). All configurations support digital I/O, motor start/stop, forward/reverse control, variable-frequency speed adjustment, analog signal processing, HMI monitoring, communication practice, and basic PID process-control applications.
The portable suitcase-style design makes the system easy to store, carry, demonstrate, and use in classrooms, training centers, workshops, and automation labs.
