Abstract

Indonesian industries gladly accept skilful vocational high school (VHS) graduates. One of the important skills that should be mastered by students is a programmable logic controller (PLC). However, at some schools, there are no adequate media that can be used to present the use of PLC to control industrial machines. This article explains the development of a PLC-based industrial machine control system as a learning medium for VHS students. The media development model is the ADDIE model, which consists of 1) analysis; 2) design; 3) development; 4) implementation; and 5) evaluation. The validation process was done by media and materials experts and media tryouts. The evaluation shows that the developed media are valid (89.9%) and could be implemented in the learning process. © WIETE 2015.
