Today, manufacturing processes have become a lot more efficient due to Internet of Things (IoT), intelligent automation, advance robotics and other smart factory initiatives. Despite rapid changes in technology, PLC continues to play a vital role in manufacturing and acts as a central processor for all real time decisions.

PLC and HMI have adapted well in modern Industry 4.0 manufacturing, automation systems and their programming will continue to play an integral role in the manufacturing processes. Further, the integrated HMI PLC is enabling lean automation-boosting efficiencies and reducing waste, both in terms of equipment and time.

Looking at career opportunities offered by Industry 4.0, Scientech has designed a Universal PLC Training System with HMI. Scientech 2400K is an ideal setup to study the working of PLC and HMI used for industrial applications. It has been designed to learn and practice:

• Wiring of PLC with different inputs and outputs.
• Push to ON switch, toggle switch, proximity sensor an input to PLC.
• Realistic simulation that can drive visual indicators, audio indicators, and DC motor.
• Communication of PLC with HMI for monitoring and controlling.
