Development and Practice of PLC Experimental Teaching Platform Based on MCGS

Aiming at the problems of poor visibility and low participation of students in PLC experimental teaching, a PLC experimental teaching platform combining virtual and real was proposed based on MCGS configuration technology. Taking the simulation control of manipulator action as an example, the development process of PLC experimental teaching platform combining virtual and real was introduced. Practice shows that the application of MCGS configuration technology in the practical teaching of PLC courses is feasible, which solves the shortage of poor visibility of the traditional experimental teaching through the indicator light simulation experiment phenomenon, so that the practical teaching of PLC is no longer abstract, and the control process is displayed in real time through the touch screen configuration animation, which effectively improves the learning interest of students and enhances the interest of experimental teaching.
