Description
PID Pressure Control Application for PLC Training
Industrial PID Training Made Simple and Portable
SMC’s PID Pressure Application Trainer is a compact, portable system designed to simulate real-world closed-loop pressure control using PLC-based PID algorithms. Whether you’re training automation students or upskilling industrial technicians, this suitcase application enables live tuning, pressure feedback monitoring, and control output testing in a safe, hands-on environment.
It connects directly to Toolkit’s PLC trainers, including the SMC PCT-200, and supports various PLC brands such as Siemens, Allen-Bradley, and Mitsubishi.
