Construction and Design
The PLC Trainer with Applications (Siemens Based) NexuMation-55 is built around the Siemens CPU 1215C PLC module integrated within a comprehensive self-contained training panel. All power supplies are installed internally, providing 24 V, +12 V, -12 V, and 5 V DC fixed rails alongside two analog voltage sources at +10 V each. Digital input simulation is provided by 8 toggle switches, 8 momentary pushbuttons, 8 DIP switches, and 2 thumbwheel switches, the most extensive input simulator arrangement in the NexuMation series. An analog input simulator is also installed. On-board sensors, control circuits, and drivers for all 15 application modules are pre-installed directly on the panel, eliminating the need for external optional modules for core experiments. Two Ethernet ports provide PC connectivity for programming and monitoring via the included RJ45 cable. This PLC trainer with applications supports Ladder, STL, and FBD programming languages consistent with IEC 61131-3 standards for the Siemens S7-1200 platform. The unit ships ready for use with all accessories and experiment manual included, supporting 19 structured laboratory experiments from commissioning.
Scope of Delivery
Q1: Which PLC model is used in the PLC Trainer with Applications (Siemens Based) NexuMation-55?
The unit is built around the Siemens CPU 1215C, configured with 14 digital inputs, 10 digital outputs, 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and 125 KB program memory.
Q2: What distinguishes the NexuMation-55 from the NexuMation-51 and NexuMation-52 Siemens PLC trainers?
The NexuMation-55 has on-board sensors, control circuits, and drivers for 15 application modules pre-installed directly on the panel. The NexuMation-51 and NexuMation-52 require optional external modules for application-level experiments. The NexuMation-55 also provides the most comprehensive input simulator arrangement in the series, with 8 toggle, 8 momentary, 8 DIP switch, and 2 thumbwheel inputs.
Q3: What programming languages does this PLC trainer with applications support?
Three programming languages are supported: Ladder, STL (Statement List), and FBD (Function Block Diagram), consistent with IEC 61131-3 standards for the Siemens S7-1200 platform.
Q4: How many experiments can be conducted with the NexuMation-55 without additional hardware?
Nineteen structured laboratory experiments are supported directly from commissioning, covering logic gates, counters, timers, motor control, display control, analog I/O, process control, and application-specific scenarios, all using on-board circuits.
Q5: How is the NexuMation-55 connected to a PC for programming?
Two Ethernet ports provide PC connectivity. A PC programming cable (RJ45) is included in the scope of delivery.
