Automatics Control Add-On 24V Without PLC

Product Family: AUTOMATICS

Model Number: AU9030

A desktop-sized pneumatics add-on for learning software-based control with real-world components.

Overview

A desktop sized solution for safe study of pneumatics using real world components.

By following the curriculum included with the pneumatics control add-on kit, students will learn how the combination of a controller and custom software can create powerful and flexible pneumatic systems.

The control add-on kit is intended to supplement the Automatics Essentials solution. Users can add their own 24V programmable controller to work with a selection of sensors and solenoid valves. This allows students to investigate the power of using software to control real world hardware systems.
