Advanced PLC Training System (Rockwell Automation), LabVolt Series

General Description
Programming a PLC efficiently requires a strong familiarity with the specifics of the programming environment
and languages. This is exactly the purpose of the Advanced PLC Training System with high-end products from
Rockwell Automation.
This training system allows students to acquire hands-on experience with industrial control equipment.
Realistic examples are used to motivate students. These examples are displayed on the graphic terminal, and
correspond to real PLC applications that can be interfaced with the trainer.
The system comprises industrial components of the latest technology: a CompactLogix 5370 controller, a
PanelView Plus 7 graphic terminal, and a Stratix 2000 industrial Ethernet switch. Several inputs (16 digital and 4
analog inputs) and outputs (16 digital and 2 analog outputs) and are accessible from the front panel using 2-
mm test leads. Controls and lights can also be connected. Eight switches allow the addition of electrical faults
during troubleshooting exercises. A SysLink interface allows connection to Modular Production System (MPS)
stations from Festo.

PLC applications developing students’ understanding

PLC Applications, Series 8075, aim to
further develop the students'
understanding of PLC programming.
These small-scale systems are typical
of what can be found in the industry.
The systems' training capabilities are
enhanced by their modularity and their
instructor-inserted faults.
The modules of the PLC Applications
Series can be interconnected with
those of other Festo training systems for interdisciplinary training applications. The PLC Applications series is
divided into seven systems, each system covering a specific topic related to PLC controls:
- Traffic Lights
- Electro-Pneumatics
- Electro-Mechanical – DC Motor
- Electro-Mechanical – Stepper Motor
- Wind Turbine
- Level Process Control
- Bottling Process
The exercises provided with the Advanced PLC Training system are inspired by the Traffic Lights, Electro-
Pneumatics, and Level Process Control applications. Students can connect these additional components while
developing their programs or simulate the inputs and outputs instead.

Topic Coverage
• Familiarization with Studio 5000 and FactoryTalk View Studio
• Understanding PLC operation and addressing

 Advanced PLC Training System (Rockwell Automation), LabVolt Series

• PLC programming in four different IEC 61131 languages: Ladder Logic (focus), Sequential Function
Chart, Function Block, and Structured Text
• Designing human-machine interfaces
• Troubleshooting

Features & Benefits

• The system uses Rockwell software and hardware that are used in actual factories.
• Comprehensive curriculum with hands-on exercises accompanies each system.
• The system is mounted in a rugged suitcase with casters.
• The system can be used alone or in conjunction with existing PLC applications.
• Communication between devices using either an industrial Ethernet switch, Sys-Link connectors, or 2-
mm jacks.

1 Software needed to program the PLC. This is the Educational license version but a Commercial license version is also available. There is also a

"mini" version but it only allows ladder programming so it is not suitable for this product.
2 Software needed to program the HMI. This is the Educational license version but a Commercial license version is also available. If only running the

HMI is preffered, select the Station version instead.

3 Can replace Studio 5000 Logix Designer Lite Edition. This is the Educational license version but a Commercial license version is also available.
4 Allows only viewing the HMI which is not enough to follow the exercises of this system. This is the Educational license version but a Commercial

license version is also available.

Module Options Description

Studio 5000 Logix Designer Lite Edition
587890 (5935-00)
Studio 5000 Logix Designer is a Windows-based application,
produced by Rockwell Software™, used to build programs for
CompactLogix PLCs.
Studio 5000 Logix Designer provides a powerful integrated
interface allowing users to easily build programs using four
programming languages: relay ladder, structured text,
sequential function chart, and function block diagram. The
software allows students to concentrate on the logic aspects of
PLC programming instead of spending time on complex syntax. It
also features drag-and-drop editing, search-and-replace
functions, and tools for verifying programs before running them
on a PLC. Studio 5000 Logix Designer can be used to program a
PLC via the built-in RS-232 port or via an Ethernet link. The software comes with RSLinx lite which provides the
functionality required to support RSLogix and RSNetWorx.
The following versions are available:

• 5935-0: Studio 5000 Logix Designer Lite Edition (Educationnal)

• 5935-A: Studio 5000 Logix Designer Lite Edition (Commercial)
