This PLC trainer is a great combination for learning PLC and HMI programming, industrial control wiring, and the basics of industrial networks.

Your trainer consist of an Allen Bradley Micro820 PLC and Panelview 800 HMI. This will get you started on your PLC programming career path.  Designed for both schools and individuals who wish to learn more than the basic trainers and instruction manuals can teach.

• The Micro820 PLC includes 12 discrete 24VDC inputs, 7 discrete 24VDC outputs, 4 0-10VDC analog inputs (first four discrete inputs can be configured for analog), and 1 0-10VDC analog output.  It uses the free Allen Bradley Connected Components Workbench software.

• The HMI is an Allen Bradley Panelview 800 and uses these HMI lessons of Connected Components Workbench.

The trainer requires 120VAC and plugs into your typical wall outlet.

In addition to learning PLC programming and troubleshooting, these lessons will teach you how to wire and diagnose control systems.  This curriculum will help you gain valuable insight into how industrial control panels are wired and operate.  All circuits in these self paced lessons are 24VDC.
