Complete, ready-to-use training panels for learning PLC programming, drive control, and industrial communication. Two versions — Siemens S7-1200 and Finder OPTA.
Classic Siemens S7-1200 or modern Finder OPTA with Arduino ecosystem. Both include a SINAMICS V20 drive and three-phase motor.
The industrial standard in automation education. TIA Portal, Profinet, online diagnostics.
Modern IoT/Industry 4.0 platform. Program in Arduino IDE, PLC IDE, or Codesys.
Top-quality industrial components — ready to work from day one.
Detailed technical specification of both training stations.
