The Siemens S7-1500 Modular Automation Training System is a configurable industrial automation training platform designed for universities, technical colleges, CTE programs, mechatronics laboratories, industrial maintenance programs, and workforce training centers.
The standard base station combines a Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1511-1 PN, KTP700 Basic HMI, and ET 200SP distributed I/O. Schools can add a Motion/PID module, a SINAMICS G120 motor-control module, or purchase the complete three-module system.
Four Available Configurations
Base Station Only
- Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1511-1 PN
- Siemens KTP700 Basic HMI
- Basic ET 200SP digital and analog I/O

- 24V DC control power, circuit protection, relays, and terminal blocks
Base + Motion/PID Module
Includes the complete base station plus a stepper-motor and analog-control training module for positioning, homing, jog control, speed adjustment, voltage/current measurement, analog output, and PID-related exercises.
Base + G120 Motor Module
Includes the complete base station plus a Siemens SINAMICS G120 motor-control module with a three-phase AC motor, circuit protection, contactor and safety components, student wiring terminals, start/stop/reset controls, speed control, commissioning, and troubleshooting exercises.
Complete 3-Module System
Includes the S7-1500 base station, Motion/PID module, and G120 motor module as one integrated automation laboratory system.
Training Topics
- TIA Portal and S7-1500 PLC programming
- HMI configuration, alarms, trends, and process visualization
- ET 200SP distributed I/O and PROFINET communication
- Digital and analog I/O wiring and diagnostics
- Stepper-motor positioning, jogging, and homing
- Analog voltage and current signal measurement
- PID control concepts and process-variable monitoring
- SINAMICS G120 parameter configuration and drive commissioning
- Three-phase motor start, stop, speed control, and status monitoring
- Industrial electrical wiring, system commissioning, and troubleshooting
Designed for Technical Education
The modular design allows instructors to begin with PLC, HMI, and distributed-I/O training and expand into motion, analog control, PID, and variable-frequency-drive applications without replacing the base system.
Power and Customization
- 120V / 60Hz configuration available for the United States
- 220–240V / 50–60Hz configurations available
- PLC, HMI, I/O quantity, sensors, fault simulation, terminal layout, and curriculum exercises can be customized
- Final component models, voltage, plug type, and panel layout are confirmed before production
