The Scientech 2484 PLC Controlled Multi-Process Workbench is a comprehensive, self-contained, floor-standing training system that accurately replicates industrial process control systems used across various sectors such as chemical, oil, food, water, power, and other process-driven industries. Specifically designed for hands-on learning, this workbench offers students and technicians a practical, real-world experience in programming, automation, and process control, utilizing industry-standard components and tools.

This fully integrated workbench provides users the ability to control multiple processes, including
temperature, pressure, flow, and level, using both two-point (On/Off) and three-point (PID) controllers. The Scientech 2484 workbench is designed to expose users to a wide array of industrial components, including PLCs, HMIs, IIoT Gateways, pressure transmitters, level transmitters, flow transmitters, temperature transmitters, control valves, variable frequency drives (VFDs), heaters, pumps, float switches, and more.

With its advanced IIoT capabilities, users gain hands-on experience in real-time data acquisition, remote monitoring, and process control through the IIoT Gateway. The system is tailored to help users understand the complexities of industrial automation, control systems, and IIoT applications, enabling them to develop valuable, practical skills that are essential for real-world industrial environments.
