For educators in higher education, bridging the gap between classroom theory and industrial practice is essential. In today’s competitive job market, students need more than textbook knowledge, they need hands-on experience that mirrors real-world scenarios. The fischertechnik Production Line 24V is a robust PLC training solution that does just that.
By combining physical simulation with digital twin technology, this turnkey solution enables colleges and universities to provide hands-on learning experiences in industrial automation. With realistic components such as rotary indexing tables, pneumatic systems, and conveyor belts, students engage in a full manufacturing workflow, gaining confidence as they program and control the system using real Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Whether in engineering technology, mechatronics, or industrial automation programs, the Production Line 24V equips learners with career-ready skills through a comprehensive curriculum and immersive experience.
Inside Production Line 24V: PLC Training System
The Production Line 24V is a fully assembled training model designed to simulate a real-world manufacturing environment. Equipped with a rotary indexing table, gripper robot, two processing stations, and a palletizing station, this model mimics the step-by-step workflow of a production line. Learners can grasp industrial automation concepts in a safe, yet realistic environment. Note: A 24V PLC controller is required for operation.
But the system goes beyond impressive hardware. It also includes a comprehensive PLC programming course, helping students develop practical skills in:
-
Structured Text and Function Block Diagram (FBD) programming
-
Circuit diagram interpretation
-
GRAFCET-based sequence logic
-
Hardware and software commissioning
Dual Learning: Physical and Digital
This PLC training solution offers a blended approach. Students gain real-world experience both through a physical PLC model and a digital twin via virtual commissioning. Whether wiring and programming in the lab or simulating logic sequences online, learners get a full-spectrum education in automation.
This dual approach is ideal for mechatronics, electrical engineering, and industrial technology programs, aligning closely with vocational and apprenticeship standards.
