Industrial Learning System

This industry approved equipment is designed to use a single workstation with interchangeable learning lab modules. It will grow with your teaching preference, just add a different module to the existing workstation when you’re ready to teach a new lab in your class. See module categories below, including blank modules to create your own unique build. Both base units are customizable to fit your teaching and learning needs. Simply hang, connect, and test. The modules can then be interconnected to create a working industrial control system. Designed for multiple students with the same or different curriculum at one time.

Motor Control
The VFD module uses a PowerFlex VFD to allow modifications to power sources to meet the needs of the circuit. It is best used in combination with the OR3PHGM and RACOC modules in regards to motor control circuits. The VFD utilizes 120 VAC power, which is provided by the power strip on the ILS base. Students learn how to change settings within the VFD to create the power supply they need such as 3-phase 240 VAC. The Contactor/Overload Module is perfectly designed for teaching motor control circuits. It combines both forward & reverse motor starters with a basic motor starter all on a Size 1 module. The basic motor starter circuit uses 3 breakers with an overload sensor to teach students how to safely wire 3-phase motor circuits. The forward and reverse motor circuits use a motor starter protector with two motor starters. This board comes unwired with all the components. This module is designed to be used in combination with either the RARLY2B or RAPB9 module to control the start sequence. Use the RAPFXVFD and OR3PHGM modules to then operate the motor. It can also be used with the RAGLX or RACLX modules for PLC programming with motor controls. Motor Control
