Comparative analysis of key features of controllers PR200 by OWEN and controllers LOGO! by Siemens for the purpose of mutual substitution in the educational process
Incoming article date: 24.05.2023The article deals with the imported used in the educational process controllers replacement problem. There was a need to replace imported products with domestic ones due to the withdrawal of leading import manufacturers from the Russian market, so it seems reasonable to exclude imported equipment from the educational programs of universities. The course "Digital Automation and Control Systems" is based on the study of various industrial controllers. The first place among industrial controllers in SUAI is occupied by Siemens products, which officially left the Russian market. The question of searching for similar controllers of domestic production arose, at the same time, the manufacturer should not depend on the supply of imported components. Controller PR200 by OWEN was chosen as such a manufacturer. The article compares PR200 by OWEN with LOGO! by Siemens and comes to the conclusion about the interchangeability of these controllers in the educational process. The peculiarities, advantages and disadvantages of the development environments of both manufacturers are considered in the article. It also tells about the experience of using the stand based on PR200 in the educational process, therefore, the possibility of a complete replacement of LOGO! has been proved.
