Training Bench?

Elijah58 · Feb 2, 2013

Hello Guys,

Does anyone know of a layout for a good training bench for Plc programming training? I would like to build one so that we can do some real world programming to make sure we have what it takes before going out on the floor and making changes.
BTW I would like it to be Allen Bradley but could be changed to another if possible.
Thanks guys,

Mark

We have one with a large particle board gear tray. Very handy for quickily mounting a drive for testing.

Excellent use of surplus parts!...

I have drawers full of old pushbuttons, etc., including Opto-Touch buttons!...

I shall be making one of these soon!...

I brought this old thread back up.
Eric, did you get your trainer built ?
A few people where I work want to learn PLC
but they don't know simple RLL. I would like to
build an electrical trainer and was hoping someone
might be able to provide a picture of one they like.
Here is one.

Just wanting to see what others use to get more ideas

No, I haven't. It seems that 'soon' means at least a year...

I would think having the trainee build the simulator would be of great value.
AC, DC, NPN, PNP, Triac, Relay, etc.
E-Stop wiring and output power.

Vast majority of trouble shooting existing systems has to do with the hardwire side of things, not with well written code.

Agree... but if someone know's how to read the logic it makes it a lot easier to troubleshoot the hardware side, so I think they both are very useful
