The Sense and Control – Industrial training module is a compact, easy-to-use system that introduces students to the basics of industrial automation and programmable control. Built around the real-world Siemens LOGO! PLC and the flexible Locktronics system, it allows learners to build and test their own customized control circuits. This practical approach teaches students far more than just basic programming, helping them build an early technical vocabulary and understand how real factory parts interact.
Key Features & What You Will Learn
- Real Factory Equipment: Students get hands-on experience using a genuine Siemens LOGO! PLC, learning how to read and understand simple wiring diagrams.
- Safe & Simple Setup: The system operates on a safe 24-volt power supply, making it perfect for classroom use, and features quick-release connectors to keep wiring neat and easy to understand.
- Understand Inputs & Outputs: Learners will explore the difference between analogue and digital signals, discovering how basic sensors and output devices work.
- Step-by-Step Learning: Includes 11 practical worksheets designed specifically for beginners, guiding them through logic operations, timers, and basic feedback behaviors.
- Smart Software Integration: The system supports a simple Siemens programming workflow, allowing students to view system feedback on a PC or mobile device using web apps.
This hands-on system is the perfect starting point for students aiming to build a strong problem-solving foundation in modern automation. By mastering how sensors, controllers, and outputs interact safely, learners become fully prepared to tackle more advanced maintenance tasks. To guide your lessons, the system includes the book Industrial Systems – Sense and Control (REF: CP6211). Students can also access the Online Learning Environment to track their progress and explore digital simulations.
