Electro-Mechanical PLC Application Panel
Model Number: 464-300
Program, operate, and troubleshoot a PLC-controlled electro-mechanical system with real motion and I/O.
Overview
DAC Worldwide’s Electro-Mechanical PLC Application Panel (464-300) allows students to program a PLC automate an active electro-mechanical system. The Electro-Mechanical PLC Application Panel can be used with DAC Worldwide PLC training systems (#461-000 or #464E) or other PLC systems. The Electro-Mechanical PLC Training Panel is self-contained and includes a stylized working system, as well as all applicable input and output devices for operation. Connections to a related PLC trainer are made using banana-jack patch-cord connections. The system consists of multiple linear motions driven by stepper motors and rack/pinion motions which, through their actions, push a steel ball around a fixed circuit/track. A rotary solenoid actuator and a linear-acting solenoid as well as multiple limit switches are included to further automate the system. The finished system can be used for troubleshooting activities that can be inserted through mechanical adjustments to devices mounted on the front panel face. The 19-inch panel mounts on standard 19-inch rack systems or on related DAC support structures.

Hands-On Training
This training panel provides hands-on interaction with an active electro-mechanical system that uses multiple linear motions, stepper motors, rack-and-pinion mechanisms, solenoid actuators, and limit switches to move a steel ball around a fixed circuit. Learners make PLC connections using banana-jack patch cords and can perform troubleshooting activities by introducing mechanical adjustments to devices mounted on the front panel face.
