Fluid Mixing Process Based on Programmable Logic Controller as Training Kit for Electrical Engineering Education Students

Abstract

The Department of Electrical Engineering, Universitas Negeri Surabaya (Unesa) is developing a laboratory, including a control system laboratory. The control system engineering teaching team prepares themselves by making a PLC training kit to accompany the existing modules. With the aim that students know and understand the application of control systems in industry. This can foster student learning motivation in attending lectures and greatly support student competence before entering the workplace. The study used is development research by producing a product prototype in the form of a fluid mixing process training kit. The steps taken are designing, making tools, integrating software to hardware and validating the tools. The result of the research is that the fluid mixing process training kit has worked according to the instructions given and is suitable for use as a learning medium.
