Mechatronics is one of the compulsory subjects taken by students Department of Mechanical Engineering, State University of Malang because it is closely connected with the control system in the industry. The problems that appear in mechatronic practicum are: 1) lack of practicum proposition; 2) learning resources are limited; and 3) there is no job sheet of practicum. The solution used from the front end analysis. The purpose of this research and development are 1) to develop trainer PLC and also can be simulated on a computer, 2) develop modules, and 3) develop job sheet as a learning resource mechatronics training. This research is a research and development with ADDIE development model that comprises the step of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. In the analysis phase will be performed need analysis and front-end analysis. At the stage of development, will be carried out expert validation and user validation. In the implementation phase, formative evaluation will be conducted. Whereas summative evaluation at this stage of the evaluation was not done because of the research that will be done only at the stage looking at the feasibility of the media developed. The results of the validation experts during the development stage, the developed media included in the rate valid and suitable to use (96.36%). Based on the user validation results, developed media included in the rate valid and suitable to use (90.00%). At stage of individual testing, obtained the average results of student test is 86 and the results of questionnaires students' perceptions on the media is a suitable to use (87.62%). At the pilot phase a small group, obtained the average results of student test is 86 and the results of questionnaires students' perceptions on the media is a suitable to use (91.43%). At stage of field trials, obtained the average results of student test is 87 and the results of questionnaires students' perceptions on the media is a suitable to use (83.67%). For further development, the media can be developed to run through a smartphone because the media are being developed can only be run on a computer. Besides that, to the further development can also use Arduino to use the Micro PLC trainer. © 2016 Author(s).
