Abstract

The study was focused on the design and fabrication of a programmable logic controller training kit, and development of PLC based laboratory instructional modules using the fabricated training kit which could be used in EE 126 or Industrial Electronics. The design was based on three topics of EE 126, instructor consultations, and industrial processes that could be simulated. The materials used for the design were a combination of pneumatic and motor devices. The design software used was SkectchUp and pneumatic blocks were taken from SMC 2D/3D CAD Library. The mechanical parts were fabricated at L. Angeles Machineries Corporation. The PLC and software used were GE Fanuc VersaMax Micro Controller Model IC200UDR005-BD and VersaPro. Six modules were developed. One part of the training kit was tested by 18 previous EE 126 students and survey sheets were used as assessment medium to compare the acceptability of the fabricated training kit with respect to the existing training kit. Based on the results, hypotheses were made since generalization is a limitation of convenience sampling used in the study. The results showed that a new equipment may be used in the laboratory of EE 126 which can provide the students training that would be beneficial for industry employment and practice. However, implementation testing using other probability sampling methods are recommended for better statistical analysis of the results.
