Practical skills
The new aspects involved in an electrical career and the change
in orientation of the topics to be learned mean that more
weight is being given to the practical side of training. The
combination of new teaching media and experiment systems
is also playing an ever-more important role, since self-guided
learning via project work based on authentic practice gives the
best grounding for teaching practical skills that will stay with
students throughout their careers.

Training Panel Systems
Flexible
Whether teaching at the front of a classroom or conducting
practical student experiments, the training panel system allows
you to use a variety of teaching methods. The height of the
training panels matches the height of A4 pages so that the
panels are easy to mount into stands.
One of the key points of the LN training systems is their link to
authentic practice. All LN training systems are designed using
components common to industry. Measurements are made
using conventional measuring instruments, too.
Modular
The familiar DIN A4 dimensions, coupled with a console-shaped
housing make for a universal training platform that can be used
on its own or with other training systems.
Set-up times are reduced to a minimum to allow optimal use of
lesson time.

Training Panel Systems
Safety
All the necessary connections are made via safety sockets. All
voltages in the safety extra-low voltage range (as per VDE 0100)
are handled via 2 mm safety sockets. Any voltage above this
range uses 4 mm safety plugs.
Understandable
The new, colourful generation of panels makes the design of the
front surface even easier to understand, even including photo-
realistic printing.
During the development of LN training panels, specific attention
was paid to printing standard symbols on the panels and ensur
ing the connecting terminals also met the standards.

simulator and various application simulations make it possible to carry out initial and in-service checks conforming to DIN VDE 0100
under a variety of conditions. In conjunction with other components, it is possible to set up quite extensive project exercises.

The LOGO!® expansion module DM8 complements the basic module and does not function
independently. The expansion module provides additional inputs and outputs for complex control
tasks. Programming is done via the basic module. The expansion module is mounted on a DIN
C-rail and connected via screw contacts.
The CM EIB / KNX communication module allows communication between the LOGO!® master and
external EIB devices via the EIB. This module can be used to integrate the LOGO!® into an EIB sys-
tem. Provision of current statuses of planned EIB subscribers for the LOGO!® allows the controller to
interlink them by means of their logical functions and timers. Adjustments and changes to parame-
ters or links can be made quickly, easily and without a programming device directly via the LOGO!®.
The expansion module is mounted on a DIN C-rail and connected via screw contacts.
The AS interface connection for LOGO!® serves to integrate intelligent slaves into the AS interface
system. This modular linkage makes it possible to add various basic units to the system, depending
on the required functionality. Interchanging the basic device also allows the functionality to be
adapted quickly and easily to variable requirements. The expansion module is mounted on a DIN
C-rail and connected via screw contacts.

When assembling circuits, it is manual skills that take the focus. All exercises are strongly linked to authentic practice. The “Switching
Systems Installation Exercises” training system allows trainees to learn about the installation and wiring of electrical components in a
realistically practical environment. Use of typical industrial components is an ideal way to enhance the strong link to authentic prac
tice. Thus, various projects typical within the industry can be built and tested.

Decisive Product Benefits
“
Zdravko Djuric, teacher at the Otto Brenner vocational college in Hanover:
“Use of the InsTrain systems in the teaching of wiring installation has absolutely benefited our students.
Topics that are usually difficult for students to grasp such as VDE measurements, electrical installations and mains systems need not be
taught merely on a theoretical level any more, but can be supplemented by practical work using the InsTrain systems.
This link between theory and practice means that lots of lessons can be designed in thoroughly new and more interesting ways, which
is highly motivating for our students.
At the moment we are using the “Building Service Entry” and “Lighting and Appliance Circuits” wiring installation training systems
from the InsTrain range and these cover some key topics.
”
Our experience shows that the educational concept and flexible design of the InsTrain systems enable teachers to continually change
the situations in which people are learning and so make them interesting and challenging, all of which improves the effectiveness of
teaching. It also boosts the involvement of students, which is highly important for understanding the material.”
