Pneumatics with your own PLC

We are now able to supply pneumatics training equipment which can be used with any PLC with the
Automatics PLC adaptor rail. The Adaptor rail allows students to connect to relay and motor outputs using AUTOMATICS
standard 4mm connectors which connect directly to other Automatics components. This pack combines
standard pneumatics components with Control pneumatics components to provide a complete learning
AUTOMATICS
platform for pneumatics and PLC programming in one package. A PLC is not included. Any programming
language - including ladder logic - can be used. Worksheets are based on flow charts. PLC adaptor modules
included: power distribution, inputs (8), motor outputs (8), relays (4). There are several PLC options available
Siemens S7 with Matrix Expansion Boxes

Siemens S7 is a popular choice for industrial control. 4mm connector add-ons for Siemens PLC are available. SMART FACTORY
Siemens input – outputs start numbering from 0. Not all S7’s have relays – please see available models.

ROBOT ARM
“ At York College we invested in various equipment across many ranges.
Relay Module Power Module The Matrix Allcode Robot Arm is the perfect tool to compliment our new
HP4237 HP6711 Institute of Technology Manufacturing Centre. Students obtain first hand
experience in controlling the movements and activities of a robot arm
similar to those widely used at manufacturing companies across Yorkshire. PROCESS CONTROL
Starting with the simplest method of control using G code and a virtual
pendant, each student develops a programming sequence as required
in Industrial Robot Technology within the Advanced Manufacturing
PROCESS CONTROL
Engineering qualification. Our students then take this knowledge and
progress on to level 4 / 5 qualifications, and of course, learn more about
Other PLC’s with Matrix Expansion Boxes robotic control using other programming languages, in which they will be

attempting to control an industrial robot arm on our new manufacturing MICRO CNC
There are many other PLC’s with input – output numbering starting at 0 or 1, with different numbers of line simulation. The Matrix Allcode Robot Arm provides the perfect
onboard motor outputs, relays etc. Make sure that you have the correct input – output modules for your PLC.
4mm interfaces are also available. solution to understanding robot control within a very enjoyable learning
MICRO CNC
experience whilst in a very safe environment.”
