Controlling processes as in industry
Close to reality
In MPS® – as in real production
plants – controllers are responsible
for signal processing. The signals in
the system can be transferred directly from the station to the controller
via I/Os or various fieldbus systems
or between controllers to support information exchange.
Market leading industrial standards
The MPS® is based on industrial
standards. Automation solutions and
trends from the market leaders are
part of the MPS® concept.
– Programmable logic controllers
from the market leaders
– Project planning and programming
tools complying with IEC61131
The most commonly used fieldbuses:
PROFINET, PROFIBUS, AS-Interface,
Ethernet

:RUOGZLGHDW\RXUąQJHUWLSV)LQG\RXUFRQWDFWSHUVRQDWZZZIHVWRGLGDFWLFFRP
Choice of PLC –
optimised for training use
We can fit an EduTrainer®, providing
a completely assembled and wired
PLC rack, with the PLC of your choice
and, if required, fieldbus components as well. The advantage of the
EduTrainer® in the MPS® station is
clear: you can remove the controller
and use it for other processes or in
laboratory furniture.
Reliable safety modules
Hardly any issue affects so many
employees in a company as health
and safety. Emergency stop, safety
curtains, safety doors and failsafe
control systems are all part of a system made up of MPS® stations.

From field to company level
All control technologies and systems
used in industrial production can be
integrated into the modular production system and the learning factories from Festo Didactic. This gives
basic and advanced training a high
level of practical relevance at all levels of the CIM pyramid.
Plug and run
The station, the control console and
the EduTrainer® are all equipped with
standardised SysLink interfaces. All
you have to do is plug them in, there
is no need to wire different connectors.
Hot topic – energy saving
On the trail of waste: identifying
potential savings means first of all
measuring current consumption.
The Wattmeter acts as a smart meter for training systems with a 24 V
DC power supply and a maximum of
120 Watts.
A switchable interface for 0 – 10 V DC
or 4 – 20 mA is integrated for data
transmission. Ethernet is available as
an option.
Optimising processes – Ensuring
quality in production
Production defects or tolerance deviations identified too late or not at all
often lead to expensive consequential damage or recalls.
Optional modules in the MPS® are
responsible for continuous quality
inspection. Laser sensor and analogue sensors measure the workpiece height. A signal converter can
then digitise the analogue signal.

MPS® 202-Mechatronics – Small but complete ...
Simple communication
A station can only pass on a workpiece to the next station if it is ready
to process it. In the MPS®, this
“OK” signal is provided via optical
sensors. This makes it very easy to
combine stations.
324
Alternatively enhanced I/O
communication
The stations can also be networked
via I/Os. We have routed the necessary input and output signals to 4 mm
safety sockets to facilitate this communication. The corresponding exercises and worksheets can be found in
the Mechatronics Assistant.

Professional training in virtual learning environments
The fascination of 3D simulation
Modern PC technology allows us to
create realistic 3D simulations even
for the most complex of automation
systems. The participants discover
the kinetic dynamism of mechatronic
systems using virtual reality – without any risk to human or machine.
This allows us to take a step into
automation technology without any
worries, providing a great motivational boost.
The ways we work and learn have
changed – and the CIROS® Automation Suite supports these new
methods. The focus is placed on
XQGHUVWDQGLQJWKLQJVYLVXDOO\WKH
attractive representation on the PC
motivates and encourages the learning process.

Industrial practice
Today, simulation represents an important tool in production and product development for analysing new
solutions, methods and processes in a quick and low-cost manner.
Depending on the task in question,
simulation systems come into play
which differ from each other in terms
of the level of detail of the information to be obtained and the way in
which they calculate this information.
:RUOGZLGHDW\RXUąQJHUWLSV)LQG\RXUFRQWDFWSHUVRQDWZZZIHVWRGLGDFWLFFRP
Flexible learning
Realistic simulated learning systems
broaden the possibilities in training situations where real automation systems would be stretched to
their limits. They allow new training
content and scenarios to be covered
using simulation.
Safe commissioning
Large, fast and cost-intensive equipment is used in mechatronic systems. Despite this, robots, linear
axes and transport systems can be
explored and commissioned within
the simulated production environment without posing any risk whatsoever to students or the installation.
Media > Software > Simulating system and virtual learning environment CIROS®
CIROS® –
the universal 3D simulation system
made in Germany
The flexibility provided by CIROS®
makes it suitable for many different
fields of application. It is available in
a variety of price ranges with different options and configurations, and
is efficient and convenient to use on
a daily basis.
CIROS® covers a great number of
DSSOLFDWLRQVUDQJLQJIURPWKHXVH
of 3D simulation in basic and further
training, through the implementation of the digital factory in industrial companies and right up to realtime simulations of complex virtual
worlds.
Faults made easy
A simple click of the mouse in the
simulation is all that is needed to put
a pneumatic cylinder or an inductive
sensor into a fault state. This opens
up new learning situations in which
students can be trained in systematically searching for faults.
Putting simulation to use
While virtually commissioning
industry control systems and robots,
students are able to use the system
simulation to develop sequencing
and motion programs which can then
be transferred to the control systems
actually in place.
Unlimited use
Nowadays, any student can use a
simulation program with minimum
effort. At the same time, full functionality of the simulated systems
is guaranteed at all times. As a result, simulation helps save costs
and contributes to ensuring that the
same conditions apply for all students. What’s more, simulation technology can be used for almost any
application.
