“…Many educational institutions, both at the university and vocational levels, have recognized the need for PLC content in the industrial sector. As a result, they have integrated PLC content into various courses in related fields, such as electrical engineering [3], mechanical engineering [4], and chemical engineering [5]. The fundamental content for teaching PLCs at the basic level typically includes basic information about PLCs, their operational principles, connecting them to other devices, and the basics of programming commands to control automatic operations.…”

In the field of automation technology education, the primary emphasis is on instructing students in the use of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Practical training for beginners includes sessions on wiring and programming. However, the training on wiring lacks resources for additional practice outside the laboratory. Recognizing the potential of mobile devices and digital game-based learning, this study aims to create a mobile game app for practicing basic PLC wiring at any time and in any location. The study also seeks to examine the impact of using the game app on student performance and user satisfaction. The game app underwent expert assessment and received a high suitability rating, garnering an overall score of 4.43. Subsequently, it was employed in an experiment involving an experimental group comprising 18 students and a control group consisting of 22 students. To address non-normal data, we utilized both parametric and non-parametric methods to ensure more robust data analysis. The study found that both the independent sample t-test and the Mann-Whitney U test yielded consistent results, with p-values of 0.009 and 0.01, both below 0.05. This led to the conclusion that additional practice with the game app improved students’ performance in wiring. The user experience received positive feedback, with an overall score of 4.25. Based on the results, we consider this game app to be an effective learning tool that can enhance student performance and the learning experience in basic PLC wiring.

“…Water jet ship rust removal equipment is an industrial equipment. The most common forms of control system for industrial equipment control are SCM control system, PLC control system and computer control system [5][6][7]. Substantially, the physical composition of these control systems are the same structure, a CPU, a memory, a timer, I / O ports, etc., while they also have their own characteristics.…”

Ship rust removal is an import part of ship-repair and shipbuilding process. Using high pressure water jet equipment causes no environmental pollution. The control and detection of high pressure water jet equipment is the key technology to ensure the system works properly. This study, in light of research on software programming of control system of ultra high pressure water jet ship rust removal equipment, establishes a control system based on PLC through the analysis of the structure and principles of the ultra-high pressure water jet equipment. On the basis of designing hardware circuit of PLC control system, this study mostly analyses software program, and experimental test suggests that the software programming can meet the requirements of system security.

“…To serve the growing need for mechanical engineers within the control systems and automation sector, many universities have begun incorporating PLC courses or learning modules within the engineering curriculum [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] . In many cases, the PLC system interfaces with physical hardware [1][2][3][4] that is representative of an industrial application, but scaled down for the university laboratory, for instance an automated page-turning robot 3 .…”
