Abstract

To improve the understanding and programming of PLC Unesa Electrical Engineering Education students, learning media are needed in the form of modules and trainers that discuss PLC about basic instructions, ladder diagram programs and DC motor control with PLC control. The use of DC motors is very common, one of the advantages of DC motors is that they are relatively easy to obtain and are easily regulated to rotate speed. The method used is the development of the four D model. The development process that is used only reaches the 3rd D stage, namely the development stage or develop from 4 stages namely define, design, develop, and disseminate. The subjects of this study were Electrical Engineering Education students at Surabaya State University who programed PLC courses. The modules that have been made are then validated by PLC experts, instructional media experts and linguists. Learning media in the form of modules and trainers are implemented to Electrical Engineering Unesa students to improve PLC programming skills. The module quality results obtained an average total value of 89.95% which means it can be categorized as very valid. For the results of student responses obtained an average total of 78.44% with a good category which means the learning module can be used as a reference for PLC courses.
