The GUNT PLC Module enables basic exercises on programmable logic controllers (PLCs), which are industrial computers designed for machine control using input and output devices such as limit switches and photoelectric sensors.
Product Features
- Laboratory patchboard front panel to connect PLC input and output ports to switches and displays via laboratory cables
- PLC programming supported via USB connection to PC (PC not included)
- Programming software conforms to international IEC 61131-3 standard
- Supports multiple programming languages: Statement List (STL), Ladder Diagram (LD), Structured Text (ST), and Function Block Diagram (FBD)
- Ladder Diagram language uses graphical contacts, coils, and boxes similar to circuit diagrams
- Function Block Diagram language uses graphical logical function block interlinking
- Statement List is an assembler-type language with a standardized command set
- Structured Text language resembles PASCAL with mathematical expressions, assignments, and control structures
- Example program included for quick start
- Can be used as a control element with electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic systems (e.g., handling device or mixing process)
Benefits
- Hands-on experience programming PLCs using standard industrial languages
- Flexible application in various industrial automation systems
- Easy hardware connections via patchboard for practical learning
- Supports multi-language programming for diverse learning needs
- Integration with other GUNT modules for comprehensive training setups
