IA 210 is a compact teaching and practice unit for the control of a materials handling process using a PLC. Two processes can be simulated: a punching process, or workpiece control in the form of a sort operation. All components are in a clearly laid out design.
Black and white cylindrical workpieces are fed from a container onto a conveyor belt. On the belt is a reflex photoelectric proximity switch which differentiates between light and dark and feeds the white items to the pre-selected process (punching or sorting). The black workpieces are always carried to the end of the belt, where they drop into a collector. Three 5/2-way solenoid valves, three double-acting cylinders and a pneumatic roller pushbutton can be operated via the PLC to execute the necessary steps: releasing the workpiece from the container; pushing the workpiece onto the conveyor belt; sorting or punching the workpiece. For punching, the workpiece is brought to a predefined position. The working cylinder can switch between sorting and punching modes by a simple sequence of actions.
The unit is designed for operation in conjunction with a PLC module. Use of PLC module IA 130 is recommended.
The well-structured instructional material outlines the technological fundamentals and provides a step-by-step guide through the experiments.

Learning Objectives / Experiments |
- Familiarisation with and analysis of an automated materials handling process
+ understanding and analysis of the mechanical, pneumatic and electrical functions
+ familiarisation with the symbols, terms and modes of representation of pneumatic and electrical function diagrams
+ familiarisation with automation components: cylinders, solenoid valves, photoelectric proximity switches
- Familiarisation with the use of a PLC
+ basic methods of programming
+ adapting the program to the given handling process
- Simulation of a punching process
+ conveyor belt is stopped for punching
+ conveyor belt also stops as soon as workpiece drops from belt end
- Workpiece control simulation
+ light-coloured workpieces are separated out; dark items reach the belt end
