Realistic measuring instruments such as a multimeter, clamp meter and oscilloscope, can be used to reproduce real-life measuring and fault- finding experiences, enhancing students’ troubleshooting skills. • The Electrical Controls Library interacts with all components from other libraries to create relay logic controlled systems. It supports IEC and JIC standards. Digital Electronics • The Digital Electronics Library comes complete with standard devices including inverters, logic gates, flip-flops, counters, shift registers, comparators, switches, LEDs, 7-bar displays, decoders, multiplexers, etc. Because of its output relay, you can also use this module to interact with other technologies. Hydraulics and Pneumatics • The Hydraulics and Pneumatics libraries are compliant with ISO 1219-1:1991/2012 and 1219- 2:1991/2012 standards. With Automation Studio™, you can create, simulate and troubleshoot hydraulics and pneumatics (ON/OFF, electro and proportional) circuits. The software offers a wide array of ISO and illustrated components to create basic to advanced circuits and enables you to create digital twins of your hardware trainers. PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) • The PLC Ladder Logic Libraries allow creating and troubleshooting of PLC circuits. They offer a wide array of components from Allen Bradley™ AB-500 and AB-5000, Siemens™, LS Electric™, Mitsubishi MELSEC iQ-R Series and IEC 61131-3.
