Laboratory

Classrooms and laboratories – air-conditioned, large and spacious. Training workstations have been professionally equipped. Participants have at their disposal individual training workstations designed to learn the tasks and industrial solutions based on the Siemens S7-300/400 controller and Step7 software.

Each workstation is fitted with the controller featuring digital and analog input/output modules connected with the simulator of digital and analog input/output signals. Additionally, each controller is connected with the workstation featuring many elements of industrial automation. Please read the detailed description of the equipment we use.

Siemens SIMATIC S7300/400 controllers with I/O cards

Each participant has at their disposal a workstation based on a PLC. Below, we present technical parameters of the selected controllers.

Controller SIEMENS SIMATIC ST-300 (CPU 313C, CPU 313C-2DP, CPU 314C-2DP, CPU 314C-2PN/DP, CPU 315-2DP, CPU 315F-2PN/DP):

memory depending on the model 128/192/256/512 KB
16 or 24 digital inputs
16 digital outputs
4 analog inputs
2 analog outputs
3 or 4 fast counters (30 or 60 kHz)
MPI, Profibus, Profinet interfaces

SIGNAL SIMULATORS

Each workstation also features a signal generator connected with inputs/outputs of the controller. It enables simulating binary signals and analog input/output signals (0-10V). it is fitted with the electronic voltage indicator. The generator includes:

8 buttons generating input signals
a potentiometer regulating voltage range of the analog input
display of the analog input voltage
display of the analog output voltage

WORKSTATIONS WITH ELEMENTS OF AUTOMATION AND MECHANICS

Each participant has at their disposal a set of actuating elements connected with input/output modules of the controller. The workstation enables fast preview of programming results in the form of actual motion of different components, programming cycles, move sequences and others. The workstation is composed of:

air preparation unit
valve manifold with 4 electropneumatic valves 3/2, 5/2, 5/3
actuating unit based on two actuators and a gripper
sensors informing about the end position of actuators
digital input/output module
pulse ON/OFF switch
diode
safety switch
display/monitor with interactive visualizations
