Teaching Research on Programmable Logic Controller Course Based on Factory IO
Due to the high cost of PLC practical training equipments,the lag of technology update and the lack of indus-trial application scenarios,the teaching effect of the PLC course is poor,and the improvement of teaching quality has be-come an urgent need.For this reason,the 3D virtual simulation software-Factory IO is introduced in PLC courses,which provides a new solution to the current problem with its low cost,multi-brand and multi-model PLC compatibili-ty,and rich industrial application scenarios.In order to integrate Factory IO software into the teaching of PLC courses,and then improve the teaching effect,the article systematically combs through the process of joint simulation of Factory IO software and PLC programming software,analyzes in depth the intrinsic connection between industrial application sce-narios of Factory IO software and the knowledge and skills of PLC courses,and discusses in detail the teaching process of PLC courses based on Factory IO software,and discussed in detail the teaching process of PLC course based on Factory IO software.The teaching reform practice shows that the PLC course integrating Factory IO greatly stimulates students'learning interest,and also achieves more significant teaching effect and improves teaching quality.
