The "Universal PLC" team is a group of prospective technicians who specialize in a universal connection of different control systems to different plants. Since the current education system at BBS1 in Mainz is somewhat outdated, a universal connection of the controls, which serve for programming in the classroom, is to be realized to different systems. This has the advantage that not every student workstation is equipped the same, every student can still connect to every system and can also program. With this project, we want to enable students to actively participate in and shape lessons with practical programming.
