Industrial controllers are widely used where reliable and safe operation is essential. They also make it possible to integrate automation equipment into a unified information system and monitor production remotely.
The laboratory provides Siemens SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-1200 controllers, a SINAMICS G120 variable-frequency drive with motor, and a SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panel. Instructors and students have built training rigs for developing automation systems of different levels of complexity.
Laboratory work reinforces controller-programming skills and introduces more advanced control algorithms. The SIMATIC S7 family is used in energy, chemical processing, food and agricultural production, municipal services and other industries. Students apply their knowledge to practical automation tasks using industrial equipment.
