The GUNT Temperature Control Trainer delivers hands-on training in temperature regulation using real-world industrial components and smart sensor technology. Designed for process automation education, the unit features a water-circulating pipe section with three smart temperature sensors and selectable process delay sections to simulate dead time. The system integrates a heater and a fan-based heat exchanger for active temperature control. It supports both switching and continuous control modes. An integrated PLC with touchscreen and optional GUNT software interface allows control, monitoring, and analysis—locally or via LAN/WLAN—for flexible instruction aligned with Industry 4.0 standards.
