PLC PROCESS

A self-contained, benchtop liquid flow and level process, providing a physical system to experience the programming of programmable logic controllers, for use with the PLC Trainer.

The PLC Process gives students and engineers practical experience of the principles and application of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The object is to connect and program an external, programmable logic controller to monitor and control the level and flow rate of water in a two-tank system. The apparatus has two transparent tanks, mounted one above the other. Learn about PLC PROCESS specifications for optimal educational outcomes.. A variable-speed pump transfers water from the reservoir (in the base of the unit) into the upper tank. The water can drain down to the lower tank and then back into the reservoir. Learn about PLC PROCESS equipment for optimal educational outcomes.. Solenoid valves may be individually opened or closed to control and redirect the movement of the water. The pump control is on or off, but a manual control allows the user to set the speed. Learn about PLC PROCESS exporters for optimal educational outcomes.. A float switch in the reservoir monitors the level of water.
