This trainer allows programming and operation studies with sensor detection, as well as practices with I/O ports, Modbus protocol with local and remote motor activation.
It is based on a motorized conveyor belt capable of detecting moving pieces simulating an industrial handling system. It is used as a basic training system to learn and to familiarize about real-life PLC’s application in automation and mechatronics industries.
Three types of pieces (plastic, aluminum, iron) are supplied and routed to a collection box. The pieces act on three types of sensors normally used in automation which, by means of programming,
allow the sorting and counting of the pieces according to the material they are made of.
The operation and the control of the process are achieved through various electro-mechanical components controlled by a PLC.
It also includes an HMI for interaction and information exchange between the system and the users, which completes human-machine information exchange through configuration screens and
communication connections. All components are safe and easy to manage.
