Portable PLC Troubleshooting Learning System (CompactLogix L16)

The 990-PAB53AF Portable PLC Troubleshooting Learning System provides comprehensive curriculum and a cutting-edge workstation to teach PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) programming, operation, and applications used in industry. The 990-PAB53AF uses FaultPro, Amatrol’s unique electronic fault insertion, to teach PLC troubleshooting skills, such as PLC input and output testing, software testing, and application troubleshooting. Learners study both basic and advanced applications using Allen-Bradley’s L16ER CompactLogix 5300 PLC, PanelView Plus, and networking throughout the curriculum.

The 990-PAB53AF comes with a mobile carrying case, workstation mounting panel, master control relay circuit, Allen-Bradley L16ER CompactLogix 5300 Programmable Controller, RS Linx and RS Logix 5000 software, a PanelView Plus terminal, an Ethernet Switch, I/O Simulator, five application circuits, student curriculum, instructor’s assessment guide, and installation guide. Learners will study the industry-relevant application and PLC system troubleshooting skills that are so needed in today’s workplace.

PLC Fault Troubleshooting

The 990-PAB53AF uses Fault Pro, an electronic fault insertion system that is only available from Amatrol, to insert 35+ faults into the system for troubleshooting. Learners will troubleshoot these faults as they progress through 25 different troubleshooting skills. Learners engage in practicing skills directly related to industry needs including using a six-step sequence to troubleshoot a PLC system, troubleshooting a PLC routine that performs on/off control using an analog input, and testing a PLC-controlled Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) output device.

Rich Applications: Basic through Advanced

In addition to troubleshooting skills, the 990-PAB53AF includes application circuits and components for thermostatic temperature control, analog temperature control, reversing constant speed motor control, variable speed motor control with feedback, and stepper motor homing and commissioning. These circuits include basic and advanced applications starting with discrete I/O projects and extending to projects involving analog I/O. These applications enhance a learner’s PLC troubleshooting skills and experience because they can actually see how a program controls real systems.
