Programmable Controllers Siemens S7 – 85-P-S7
The programmable controller is considered by many to be the most important development ever in industrial automation because it is a prepackaged, industrially hardened computer that can be quickly programmed to control a wide range of industrial processes and machines. Typical applications include: robots, conveyors, electric motor controls, air conditioning, process control, plastics injection molding, and CNC machines. The 85-P-S7 Programmable Controller Learning System teaches how to program, operate, and interface programmable controllers in a variety of industrial applications.
The 85-P-S7 includes a metal, silk-screened enclosure mounted with an industrial quality Siemens S7 programmable controller. The system is designed to teach programming and real world applications of input and output devices. The 85-P-S7 can be easily expanded to provide control of electromechanical and pneumatic devices. The 85-P-S7′s PLC I/O terminals are prewired in terminal strip, enabling students to quickly connect to other external applications.
The 85-P-S7 includes a unique plug-in terminal strip system which students can easily use to connect the PLC I/O to a variety of external application devices. Each terminal strip point includes a plug-in receptacle for single point interface by a lead with a solid pin jack. This is ideal for connecting small quantities of inputs and outputs that are not always connected to the same I/O. For applications where more I/O must be interfaced, a mating terminal strip with pre-wired I/O can be plugged into the terminal strip. This provides a fast and reliable method of connecting the PLC to an application. Each point also features test point access to support electrical troubleshooting measurements.
