Development of an Applied Automation Systems Simulator
Öz
The common expectations of the business world in Turkey are that the vocational schools of higher
education and technical schools train students according to the needs of the industry. In the rapidly
developing automation sector there is serious shortage of technically skilled personnel. The only way to
provide the amount of skilled technical personnel up to the expectations of the industry can only be
achieved by making the education in vocational schools oriented for the applied industry practice.
The developed Applied Automation Systems Simulator is designed to be used in vocational and technical
schools and also can be used in enterprises in the industry for hands on training for the staff. This
simulator is a training material that helps the technical personnel candidates who attend vocational
education to participate applied activities and to design new applications on their own.
There exist the miniatures of all the electrical sensors used in the industrial production systems on the
simulator where students can participate in some predefined application examples, observe and gather
info about experiments made by the students using the software in the simulator. Hence an educational
environment where students can practice real life situations applied in the industry before going to the
field can be created and the students can learn how to make reasoning in such situations by improving
their skills.
The developed simulator is compatible with all the PLC brands used in the industry therefore giving the
ability to test the programs written by the students in the software employed in the simulator. At the same
time by the use of microcontroller based control cards experimental studies can easily be made with the
simulator. The way to success in vocational and technical education is only possible by reinforcing the
theoretical education with hands on activities and experiential training. This simulator is capable of filling
the gap in this field.
