The Programmable Logic Control Trainer (Siemens Based) NexuMation-52 is an advanced PLC training platform for engineering laboratories, built around the Siemens CPU 1215C with 22 digital inputs, 18 digital outputs, 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and 125 KB program memory. This programmable logic control trainer supports Ladder, STL, and FBD programming, with built-in digital input simulators (8 toggle, 8 momentary), an analog input simulator, dual Ethernet PC interface, and fixed DC power supplies at 24 V, +12 V, -12 V, and 5 V. Two 40-pin IDC expansion connectors enable simultaneous dual optional module connection, and 13 optional control modules extend the platform to industrial automation applications including conveyor, elevator, robot, and HMI control.

Construction and Design
The Programmable Logic Control Trainer (Siemens Based) NexuMation-52 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 and real-time monitoring. Two 40-pin IDC headers are mounted on the panel, allowing simultaneous connection of two optional expansion modules, distinguishing the NexuMation-52 from single-interface PLC trainers. This programmable logic control trainer supports all three IEC 61131-3 compliant programming languages available on the Siemens S7-1200 platform: Ladder, STL, and FBD. The unit ships ready for use with all accessories and experiment manual included. Thirteen optional control modules extend the platform to cover a comprehensive range of industrial automation scenarios.
Optional Modules
Scope of Delivery
Q1: Which PLC model is used in the Programmable Logic Control Trainer (Siemens Based) NexuMation-52?
The unit is built around the Siemens CPU 1215C, configured with 22 digital inputs, 18 digital outputs, 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and 125 KB program memory.
Q2: How does the NexuMation-52 differ from the NexuMation-51 in terms of I/O and expansion capacity?
The NexuMation-52 provides 22 digital inputs and 18 digital outputs compared to 14 inputs and 10 outputs on the NexuMation-51. It also features two 40-pin IDC expansion connectors instead of one, allowing simultaneous connection of two optional control modules.
Q3: What programming languages does this programmable logic control trainer 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: Are input simulators included, or must external signal sources be connected?
Both digital and analog input simulators are installed on the panel. Digital simulation uses 8 toggle inputs and 8 momentary inputs. An analog input simulator is also built in, enabling all experiments without external signal sources.
Q5: How is the NexuMation-52 connected to a PC for programming?
Two Ethernet ports provide PC connectivity. A PLC programming cable is included in the scope of delivery.
