The PLC program connects the system building block to the MES of the complete system. The PLC is connected to an RFID reading and writing device via an RFID controller. This enables the transfer of digital product memory from and to RFID tags of individual workpieces. The production steps required in each case – with individual parameters if necessary – are communicated individually for each workpiece from the MES to the PLC of the system building block. This makes it possible to learn concepts for variant diversity in production up to batch size 1. Basic structure of station/system building block An MPS 400 system building block consists of one station on an MPS trolley. The trolleys have an operator panel with buttons for basic control or for aligning the station. The current status of the station is indicated by a status indicator. A stop button stops all of the actuators within the system module. Some of the input and output signals as well as 24 V and GND can be accessed via 4 mm safety sockets on the left and right of the operator panel. Digital learning support The learning process is supported by augmented reality (AR) and QR codes. QR codes on the individual components of the learning system allows for rapid and targeted retrieval of relevant technical information. Learning material Customized training documentation as eLab course and PDF files ensures an optimum learning experience. The specific learning path remains flexible and expandable through the modular approach. This makes it possible to divide up wideranging and complex topics into small learning units that are easy for students to understand.

Extension options By integrating additional MPS 400 system building blocks, the learning system can be expanded into a larger system network. This allows learning content to be expanded extensively and for more complex production processes to be mapped at the same time.
