Piloting Switch Motor Control Training System

Model Number: 428

Expand hands-on motor control training with industrial piloting devices, relays, timers, and safe front-panel wiring.

Overview

DAC Worldwide’s Piloting Switch Module (428) is a motor control-related device that compliments and expands the usefulness of related DAC Worldwide motor control training systems by incorporating alternate switch components and other devices into control circuitry as found in industrial systems. The device is self-contained allowing for individual study. While occasionally used independently, the training aid is most often integrated with other related motor control products. The training aid includes a welded aluminum baseplate, steel support structure and enclosure, and industrial pilot devices. A variety of switches, relays, and timers are provided allowing for integration into complete motor control circuits. All wiring is accomplished through banana-jack connections on the front panel face, rather than directly to individual components. Redundant safety systems are provided. Four instructor fault switches, creating common component faults, are provided.

Features

  • Self-contained module for individual study or integration with related motor control training systems
  • Industrial-quality pilot devices including inductive proximity, photoelectric, limit, float, and pressure switches
  • DPDT relays and time delay relay for complete motor control circuit integration
  • Front-panel banana-jack wiring connections instead of direct component wiring
  • Redundant safety systems with permanent internal grounding and shielded banana jack patch cords
  • Four instructor fault switches for creating common component faults
  • On-board pneumatic components including connection manifold, pressure gauge, and pressurizing bulb
  • Welded aluminum base assembly with formed-steel support structure and electrical enclosure
  • DIN rail mounting for standard and user-supplied wiring devices
  • Powder-coated surfaces and silk-screened aluminum front panel

Specifications

  • Dimensions: 19-in. L x 19-in. W x 25-in. H (480 x 480 x 670 mm)
  • Weight: 45 lbs. (20.5 kg)
  • Power: 115V/60Hz/1Ph

Hands-On Training

Learners build and troubleshoot motor control circuits using industrial pilot devices mounted on a self-contained training module. Front-panel banana-jack connections allow safe, repeated circuit assembly without direct wiring to individual components, while on-board switches, relays, timers, and pneumatic devices provide realistic practice with components found in industrial systems. Four instructor fault switches add troubleshooting practice based on common component faults.
