What's in the kit?

Two video tapes, showing examples of programming with DirectSoft v3.0. You can get 'Hands-On' experience by following along with the instructor who is using the same hardware.

A pre-wired PLC trainer based on the Automationdirect.com DL-05AR PLC, with push buttons, lights, selector switches and a programming cable ready to plug into your computer.

A DL-05 Users Manual, which is used throughout the video and is great for future reference.

What are the Benefits?

Work in the privacy of your own home/office.
No need to travel anywhere -- your family won't have to do without you.
Learn at your own pace -- take a break when you need it.
Refer back to the video at any time -- you'll still have the hardware to experiment with.
