System
The Feedback PLC Trainer offers the training required to understand and apply both PLC hardware and software programming through the structured students' manual that provides a progressive level of learning. The manual deals with the fundamentals of PLC hardware and software through to basic program writing and more advanced applications, finally to motor control. The PLC Trainer is an A3 size board that is divided into many individual smaller areas. Each one of these areas contains a number of components that are described and applied to gain an appreciation of their application. PLC programs are available for Allen Bradley, Mitsubishi and Siemens.
