Each electronics learning system includes in-depth multimedia eLearning curriculum designed to teach hands-on skills with real-world equipment.
The programmable logic controller (PLC) is considered by many to be the most important development ever in industrial automation, because it is a prepackaged, industrially-hardened computer that can be quickly programmed to control a wide range of industrial processes and machines. Typical applications include robots, conveyors, electric motor controls, air conditioning, process control, plastics injection molding, and CNC machines.
Amatrol’s portable PLC training systems feature outstanding eLearning curriculum and a choice of either Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi, or Siemens PLCs to meet your specific training needs. These systems begin with basic PLC operation and PLC programming skills and methodically build to advanced PLC topics.
These industrial systems feature skill assessment products, world-class online curriculum, and real-world components for an unmatched offering of skill-building possibilities. Many of these systems also offer fault troubleshooting training through FaultPro, Amatrol’s exclusive electronic fault insertion software. The equipment available in this technical area is an integral part of several Amatrol programs like Biotech, Power and Energy, Oil and Gas, Industrial Maintenance, and many more!
Amatrol’s Smart Controls Troubleshooting Workstation (895) teaches users the hands-on PLC troubleshooting skills they need to excel in today’s jobs that feature a wide variety of applications with Industry 4.0 technologies. Users will learn how to operate, program, and troubleshoot PLCs that interface with many different types of applications, including electro-pneumatics; motor control; temperature control; variable frequency drives; smart sensors; process control; and I/O Link communications.
This tabletop system provides hands-on experience with real-world components, including three different types of powerful Allen-Bradley PLCs (ControlLogix, CompactLogix Modular, and CompactLogix); distributed I/O using Ethernet/IP communications with industrial managed switches; smart sensors; smart motor drives; intelligent interface terminals; wireless Ethernet communications; and process control applications.
If you need to provide electronics training, but have to deal with a lack of training space, budget constraints, or must transport learning systems between multiple facilities, Amatrol’s portable learning systems pack all of the topics and hands-on skills of our full-sized trainers into these durable, on-the-go training solutions.
Today's modern manufacturing facilities feature a wide variety of advanced automation technologies, many of which are driven by data provided by a range of smart sensors. Amatrol offers several portable training systems that focus on specific types of common sensors:
- The Smart Manufacturing Learning System (990-SM10) includes industrial components found in typical manufacturing operations that users can access to develop hands-on skills. It also features several additional sensors – including the Wireless Temperature/Humidity Sensor and the Current Transformer Sensor – that can be used to monitor external, real-world components and systems.
- The Portable Smart Machine Sensor Learning System (990-SD10) offers a comprehensive training device for building skills with smart capacitive sensors, inductive sensors, photo sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and more.
- The Portable Smart Process Sensor Learning System (990-SD20) teaches the operation and function of a variety of smart process sensors, including smart analog pressure sensors, smart electromagnetic flow sensors, smart ultrasonic level sensors, and smart point level sensors.
- The Portable Electronic Sensor Training System (990-SN1) teaches the operation of electronic, non-contact sensors and their applications in industry, such as sensing movement, detecting metal from non-metal, and determining speed.
Amatrol offers both full-size workstation and portable versions of training systems that teach basic to advanced hands-on skills related to AC Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), as well as a portable training system that teaches power & control electronics:
