Creating kit and plc application with industrial applications for practice learning of plc technology in electronics Nusaputra university Sukabumi

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to develop PLC technology lessons so that they would be more easily practiced and so students could more easily master PLC Technology Studies, so that after graduation it is not difficult to find work, especially in the PLC field. The subjects of this research were students who studied PLC Technology were taken as samples and then given a pretest and their grades, they were given training that was taken from the module, after that, they were given appropriate module lessons from the introduction of the Kit, PLC and HMI themselves, inputs and outputs, their functions and the application, then ladder diagram and finally the wiring and the application. Methods for this research is research and development with steps of 1) Problem Analysis, 2)Data collection, 3) Product Design, 4) Design Validation, 5) Design Revision, 6) Product Testing, and 7) Analysis and Reporting. The feasibility of the PLC trainer and job sheet that had been made were obtained from the validation results by 5 validators and students responses to determine students responses to the media. The results of the study are in the form of KIT and PLC applications for industry, video tutorials, and modules and also outputs that were accredited and national journals. From the result, it can be seen that student made progress from grade from mean 53 from pretest to mean 86 from the post-test.
