About this training kit

MITSUBISHI FX5U PLC & FR-D720S Inverter Hands-On Training Kit

An All-in-One Plug-and-Play Solution for Mastering Industrial Automation

Kickstart your industrial automation learning journey with this integrated training kit! It combines the Mitsubishi FX5U-32MT/DS PLC, Human-Machine Interface (HMI), FR-D720S inverter, and core Input/Output (I/O) components in a rugged, portable protective case. Designed for educators, students, and industrial professionals alike, it delivers hands-on learning experiences in PLC programming, motor control, and industrial communication protocols, seamlessly bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.

1. Core Features & Advantages

1.1 Fully Pre-Integrated Hardware, Plug-and-Play Ready

The entire system is professionally assembled and pre-wired, including the Mitsubishi FX5U-32MT/DS Central Processing Unit (CPU), 7-inch HMI (Mitsubishi GS2107-WTBD-N or Weintek TK8072iP), FX5U's built-in analog I/O channels, buttons, signal lights, and the Mitsubishi FR-D720S inverter. Simply connect the power supply to start training immediately.

1.2 Mastery of Mainstream Industrial Communication Protocols

Leverage the PLC's built-in RS-485 port to practice industry-standard communication protocols such as Mitsubishi's proprietary MC Protocol and Modbus RTU, which align perfectly with real-world industrial applications. Additionally, the PLC's built-in Ethernet port supports hands-on training for Ethernet-based communication, covering the core communication needs of modern industrial systems.

1.3 Real-World Scenario-Based Hands-On Training

Break free from pure theoretical learning with diverse practical exercises, including:

Logic control (supporting programming in Ladder Diagram (LD), Function Block Diagram (FBD), and Structured Text (ST))

Motor speed regulation via analog signals

Inverter control through communication protocols

Fault diagnosis and troubleshooting

High-speed counting and positioning control (utilizing the FX5U's built-in high-speed counter and positioning functions)

1.4 Professional Software Environment

The kit is compatible with Mitsubishi's industry-standard software—GX Works3 (including GX Simulator simulation functionality)—ensuring learners train with tools widely used in the global industrial sector, with skills directly transferable to professional applications. HMI development is supported by GT Designer3 (for Mitsubishi HMI) or EB8000 (for Weintek HMI) software.

1.5 Safe & Portable Design

Housed in a durable protective case, the kit is easy to store and ideal for laboratories, classroom teaching, and mobile training scenarios, balancing safety and flexibility.

2. Learning Outcomes & Application Scenarios

This kit is engineered to close the theory-practice divide. Upon completion of training, users will proficiently master the following skills:

PLC programming and hardware configuration with GX Works3

HMI integration—including control screen development and data visualization

Analog signal processing (using the FX5U's built-in analog channels) for sensing and control applications

Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) control via analog signals and communication protocols

Speed regulation of three-phase asynchronous motors (compatible with the FR-D720S inverter's functions)

High-speed counting and basic positioning control (hands-on with the FX5U's built-in features)

Fault troubleshooting and third-party device/system integration

Ideal for: Vocational and technical colleges, corporate training centers, industrial automation engineers, and control system R&D teams.
