• Trouble Shooting
• Lab Manual
• Ability to Call RSLogix
• Book Marking
• Password Protected Student Log File
• Glossary

The PLCTrainer will include a Laboratory Manual full of proven practical applications that allow the student to gain an understanding of the PLC's Instruction Set.   The screens demonstrating the Instructions have a look and feel of RSLogix, plus if you own a copy of RSLogix you can open it from within The PLCTrainer ! 

The application will also include narration!   Current owners of PLCTutor-Level 1 and Level 2 will be given an opportunity to upgrade to The PLCTrainer at a reduced price. 

Realistic "WorksOrders" are displayed on the screens that require the learner to trouble shoot a PLC managed system!

The PLCTrainer also includes an extensive Glossary of terms or KeyWords that are common to PLC technology.

The tutorial comes with an interactive, self scoring Final Exam!

Along with the interactive "self scoring" final exam, the student has the option to print a certificate of completion.  

Even if the certificate is not printed, the score and student name are saved in the "student log file."  Additionally, when the quiz is scored, the student name and final score are appended to a colon delimited text file that may be imported into a database or spreadsheet application.... a perfect option for Tech Schools, Community Colleges, Universities, Apprenticeship Programs and company training departments.

A Laboratory Manual full of proven and tested programming assignments is included with the tutorial.  The Manual is in Adobe PDF format and you may print as many as you need..

Now bundled with LogixPro This "virtual PLC" environment or PLC Simulator, allows the learner to apply the knowledge gained in The PLCTrainer without the expense of purchasing RSLogix or even a PLC.
