PLC/ Motor Control
Troubleshooting
PLC-MC-7100-PI
Description

The PLC-MC has been developed to tech the student the fundamentals of troubleshooting programmable controller and
motor control systems. There are 51 faults that can be put into the system. These faults can be randomly generated by
the computer or selected, in a fault table, by the instructor. All faults are based on real world experience with these
systems.
Voltage and Resistance Measurements

A multimeter is used to measure voltage or resistance between any two nodes on the circuit (see Figure below). These
measurements are made by inserting the probes on the hardware panel into the node receptacles. The reading will
appear on the screen. It also accounts for feed through voltage and resistance. Should the student attempt to measure
voltage at two nodes where a voltage potential is present the meter will blow and this information is included in the
detailed report.
