E6.7.1.3 ASIMA Plant Simulator PLC S7 Advanced
ASIMA System Simulator II is the perfect addition for the SPC S7-1516. A total of 33 different systems are available. The experiment spectrum ranges from testing of SPC functions through to complex systems with controllers and facilitates universal use of ASIMA in education.
Educational objectives
- Programming simple basic circuits.
- Programming machine circuits
- Programming small systems
- Programming of complex systems and devices.
The set contains the basic device ASIMA System Simulator II, including a collection of tasks on CD. ASIMA is connected with the SPC via 4 mm safety connectors or a 50-pole ribbon cable (700 mm). The following is made available:
- 12 digital inputs, 12 digital outputs
- 2 analogue inputs, 2 analogue outputs
- 4 relay with break contact
- Control and display elements:
- 6 buttons, 6 button incremental switch, 33 LEDs
- 2 potentimeter with 0 ... 10 V DC
- 1 bar graph display comprised of 24 segments
Method
The setup is designed for students and student experiments. Practical exercises require that the learner resolve the respective controller problem with their own programming. Suggested solutions are included as a file.
Target Group
Trainees studying industrial electro technology, focusing on automation engineering are the target group being addressed. The course offers experiments for beginners and intermediate learners for trade school and vocational training.
Basic knowledge of programming principles is a minimum requirement.
