Construction and Design
The Programmable Logic Control Trainer (Siemens Based) NexuMation-51 is built around the Siemens CPU 1215C PLC module integrated within a 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 handled by 8 toggle switches and 8 momentary pushbuttons installed on the panel, with an analog input simulator for voltage signal generation. Two Ethernet ports provide PC connectivity for programming via the included RJ45 PLC programming cable. A 40-pin IDC header is mounted on the panel for direct connection to optional expansion modules.
