Prior to the addition of simulation and miniature models, the laboratory exercisesconsisted of realistic design problems. These problems were then implemented using anAllen Bradley SLC500 programmable controller. The programs were verified by usingRockwell 500 Emulation software, or by downloading the programs into the PLC. Thedownloaded programs were verified by watching the lights on the output module. Even though the problems were realistic, the
