Pilz Education Systems modular training system

Pilz Education Systems (PES) is a modular training system that helps institutions of training/further education improve practical training in the field of safe automation technology.

There are nine different control panels that can be combined with one another from the sensor technology, control, operation and maintenance sectors as well as a board that simulates a real plant.

The modules of the training systems can be used straight away and combined in different ways without any further installation work. The exercises can also be completed by self-study, without instruction.

Apprentices can learn the practical basis of safe automation, for example. With the help of wiring examples, they execute their own projects and solve tasks based on predefined sample exercises. The level of difficulty can be varied; by way of an easy entry point, the trainer can use the modules with the basic sensor technology functions and relays. That enables them to explain the basics of machinery safety engagingly without any programming knowledge being necessary.

As the tuition progresses, modules with more complex controllers are then used.
