THIS IS NOT A TOY. THIS IS A BRAND NEW PLC MADE BY GE FANUC. OPERATES ON 120 VOLTS AC AND HAS ITS OWN BUILT IN 24 VOLT DC POWER SUPPLY TO OPERATE THE INPUTS. ITS A NEW SERIES 90 MICRO WITH EIGHT 24 VOLT DC INPUTS AND SIX OUTPUTS. GREAT FOR THE BEGINNER. MOST PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY A USED PLC AND THE SOFTWARE TO PROGRAM IT BECAUSE EVEN USED PLCs COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS AND THE SOFTWARE IS EXTRA AT A THOUSAND DOLLARS OR MORE. WITH THIS KIT YOU GET EVERYTHING YOU NEED (EXCEPT THE COMPUTER) TO LEARN TO PROGRAM A PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER. THE TEST STAND THAT ALLOWS YOU TO  SIMULATE THE INPUTS CHANGING TO WATCH THE PROGRAM CONTROL THE OUTPUTS, THE SOFTWARE TO LOAD ON YOUR PC OR LAPTOP, THE CABLE TO CONNECT FROM YOUR PC TO THE PLC AND THE MANUALS THAT SHOW YOU HOW ITS DONE.....PLUS THE  NEW GE IC693UDR001NP1 PLC. SIMPLY LOAD THE SOFTWARE ON YOUR COMPUTER, CONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE COMPUTOR TO THE PLC AND FOLLOW THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS TO COMMUNICATE WITH AND PROGRAM THE CONTROLLER. YOU CAN PRACTICE WRITING SIMPLE PLC PROGRAMS AND THEN WATCH THE OUTPUTS CHANGE BASED ON YOUR INPUTS AND THE PROGRAM YOU WROTE. ITS THE BEST WAY TO LEARN.

IF YOU ARE JUST GETTING STARTED AND WONDERING WHAT A PLC IS....WELL SIMPLY PUT, IT IS A MICRO PROCESSOR IN  A LITTLE BOX ....FULL OF RELAYS, CONTACTS, TIMERS, COUNTERS AND MUCH MORE. THEY ARE IN THE FORM OF ICONS OR SYMBOLS IN THE PLC THAT YOU CLICK ON AND DROP INTO THE DRAWING OF THE PROGRAM OR CIRCUIT YOU DESIGN. YOU USE THE 8 INPUTS TO TELL THE PLC WHATS GOING ON IN THE WORLD AROUND YOU....FOR EXAMPLE, CONNECT A PHOTO CELL TO ONE INPUT TO TELL THE PLC WHEN ITS DARK AND THEN PROGRAM THE PLC TO TURN ON LIGHTS FOR A SET AMOUNT OF TIME BEFORE TURNING THEM OFF....THE CONTROL OF THE LIGHTS IS ACCOMPLISHED USING ONE OF THE 6 OUTPUTS. I PROGRAMMED ONE INPUT TO KNOW WHEN MY GARAGE DOOR WAS OPEN, CONNECTED ANOTHER INPUT TO A MOTION DETECTOR TO TELL THE PLC WHEN THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT IN THE GARAGE. WHEN BOTH THESE INPUTS ARE TRUE (THE DOOR IS OPEN AND THERE IS NO MOVEMENT IN THE GARAGE) A TIMER IN THE PLC STARTS...AFTER 5 MINUTES ONE OF THE OUTPUTS CLOSES FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND MAKES THE GARAGE DOOR CLOSE. I NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT LEAVING THE DOOR OPEN WHILE I AM AWAY.

I USE TIMERS AND COUNTERS AND OUTPUTS FROM A PLC TO CONTROL MY SPRINKLER SYSTEM TO WATER THE YARD.

HOW YOU DECIDE TO PROGRAM THE INPUTS AND OUTPUTS ARE UP TO YOU AND YOU ARE LIMITED ONLY BY YOUR IMAGINATION. THIS KIT COMES WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED INCLUDING MANUALS TELLING YOU HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH AND PROGRAM THE PLC. BUY MORE THAN ONE AND CONTROL YOUR HEATING SYSTEM, MONITOR THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE AND TURN ON FREEZE PROTECTION. THE SKY IS THE LIMIT. I HAVE A TIMER IN MY PLC THAT STARTS EVERYTIME MY SPRINKLER SYSTEM WELL PUMP COMES ON. I SET THE TIMER IN THE PLC FOR A FEW MINUTES LONGER THAN THE TOTAL TIME OF ALL THE ZONES RUN.....IF THE WELL EVER RUNS LONGER THAN IT SHOULD TAKE TO WATER ALL THE ZONES THE PLC TIMER WILL TIME OUT AND SHUT THE POWER OFF TO THE WELL PUMP....THIS ONLY USES UP ONE INPUT AND ONE OUTPUT ON THE PLC. THAT LEAVES 7 MORE INPUTS AND 5 OUTPUTS TO DO ALL SORTS OF INTERESTING JOBS AROUND THE HOUSE.

I USE ONE OUTPUT TO TURN LANDSCAPE LIGHTS ON AROUND THE YARD AND THEN TURN THEM OFF AT BEDTIME. I NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT TURNING THEM ON AND OFF AGAIN.

AT CHRISTMAS WE POSITION A FLOOD LIGHT TO SHINE ON OUR DECORATED FRONT DOOR. THE WIFE WAS FOREVER FORGETTING TO TURN IT ON OR WHEN SHE DID REMEMBER TO TURN IT ON SHE WOULD FORGET TO TURN IT OFF. IT ENDED UP STAYING OFF MORE THAN ON. I NOW USE ONE OUTPUT IN THE PLC PROGRAMMED TO TURN THE LIGHT ON AT DARK AND OFF AT BEDTIME....ONE LESS THING TO REMEMBER AND IT ONLY USES UP ONE OUTPUT.

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT PLCs SIMPLY PUT YOU WRITE THE PROGRAM TELLING THE PLC HOW TO CONTROL THE OUTPUTS BASED ON INPUTS OR COUNTERS AND OR TIMERS IN THE PLC. YOU CAN ERASE THE PROGRAM AND WRITE A NEW PROGRAM AS MANY TIMES AS YOU LIKE AND YOU NEVER RUN OUT OF TIMERS AND COUNTERS AND CONTACTS AND RELAYS UNLESS YOU USE UP ALL THE MEMORY AND I HAVE NEVER COME CLOSE TO DOING THAT NO MATTER HOW COMPLICATED A PROGRAM I WROTE.

MAYBE YOU NEED THIS TRAINING FOR WORK OR JUST TO PLAY WITH AT HOME. NO MATTER WHAT THE REASON YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FIND A BETTER PACKAGE FOR THE MONEY ANY WHERE.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY....EVERYBODY JUST STARTING OUT, WERE ONCE WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW.....THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO LEARN WITH YOUR VERY OWN PLC AND TEST CONSOLE, IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME, AT YOUR PACE.ITS AN EDUCATIONAL THING....AND A WHOLE LOT OF FUN TO PLAY WITH. WHEN YOU FINISH TRAINING KEEP IT TO TEST PROGRAMS YOU WRITE OR REMOVE THE PLC AND USE IT TO CONTROL SOMETHING.
