If a student wants to\nlearn about PLCs, they will find two problems. First, training pro-\ngrams are expensive, and second, PLC modules are not suitable for\ngaining hands-on skills. This study proposes the implementation\nand validation of a less expensive PLC module that is accessible\nto students interested in learning about this technology. Two pro-\ntotypes were developed using a PIC16F877 and an ATMEGA328P\nmicrocontroller. This study describes the enhancement made in\nthe second prototype over the first prototype. Finally, a compar-\nison test between the two prototypes and two commercial PLCs is\ndemonstrated. A MyRIO programmed as a data logger monitored\nthe PLC operation for 12h. The program recorded the response\ntime of the PLC output each time a 24 volts signal was sent to\nits input. The results show that commercial PLC has a fast and\nmore stable response time. Nevertheless, the developed modules\nproved to work effectively for 12h, demonstrating their efficiency\nfor training.<\/h5>\n<h5>Full text:  <a class=\"fas fa-file-pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2022-26-2-01.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.scopus.com\/inward\/citedby.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&#038;doi=10.53314\/ELS2226039P&#038;origin=inward\" ref=\"scopus-citedby\" rel=\"noopener\"><image src=\"http:\/\/api.elsevier.com\/content\/abstract\/citation-count?doi=10.53314\/ELS2226039P&#038;httpAccept=image%2Fjpeg&#038;apiKey=87124910cd33413b75b0a6f4e70d58bd\" border=\"0\" alt=\"cited by count\"\/><\/a>\n\n\n\n\nGoogle Scholar Citations <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"fas fa-external-link-alt\" href=\"http:\/\/scholar.google.com\/scholar?hl=en&#038;lr=&#038;cites=http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.53314\/ELS2226039P\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n\n<center> <span class=\"__dimensions_badge_embed__\" data-doi=\"10.53314\/ELS2226039P\" data-style=\"small_circle\"><\/span> <\/center> <script async src=\"https:\/\/badge.dimensions.ai\/badge.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n\n<center>Google Scholar Citations <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"fas fa-external-link-alt\" href=\"http:\/\/scholar.google.com\/scholar?hl=en&#038;lr=&#038;cites=http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.53314\/ELS2125065A\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/center>\n\n\n\n\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.scopus.com\/inward\/citedby.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&#038;doi=10.53314\/ELS2226037P&#038;origin=inward\" ref=\"scopus-citedby\" rel=\"noopener\"><image src=\"http:\/\/api.elsevier.com\/content\/abstract\/citation-count?doi=10.53314\/ELS2226039P&#038;httpAccept=image%2Fjpeg&#038;apiKey=87124910cd33413b75b0a6f4e70d58bd\" border=\"0\" alt=\"cited by count\"\/><\/a>\n\n\n\n\n<center><span class=\"__dimensions_badge_embed__\" data-doi=\"10.53314\/ELS2226039P\" data-style=\"large_rectangle\"><\/span><\/center><script async src=\"https:\/\/badge.dimensions.ai\/badge.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":549,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-552","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/552","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=552"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/552\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":623,"href":"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/552\/revisions\/623"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=552"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
