CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

A.    Background

Industrial Revolution 4.0 is a phenomenon that applies the concept of automation. Production activities in the industry carry out automatically through industrial automation. (Adi Permana, 2019: p.1). Industrial automation is characterized by the use of machines that work automatically with or without human assistance in the production or manufacturing process. To control the machines that work automatically, a controlling brain is needed, one of which is the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).

In facing the automation in the industry as the demands of the industrial revolution 4.0, human resources are needed that are in charge of industrial automation and its control base. A college of Applied Electrical Engineering Study Program, as an educational institution to provide skilled human resources also faces these challenges. This educational institution must equip the students with competence in industrial automation and control base. So, they will be ready to face the demands of the industrial revolution 4.0 when they graduated.

Yogyakarta State University is an institution that administrates the Applied Bachelor (D4) of Electrical Engineering Study Program. The study of the Applied Bachelor Study Program at Yogyakarta State University was held in Wates, Kulon Progo, Special Region of Yogyakarta. The Study Program is new which began in the 2019/2020 academic year. The study program used the 2019 curriculum. The courses that expect to directly equip students based on PLC control and industrial automation development is the courses of Programmable Logic Controller Practice provided in semester 4 with 3 credits. Observations show that this practical courses has no trainer kits, measuring instruments, and materials to support practical activities. Also, the limitation found on observation is caused by the limited funds to buy the practical equipment which affects difficulties to provide an industrial automation trainer kit and an applicative PLC in the industry. As the alternative, they may later borrow a trainer kit and practical material from the Electrical Engineering Study Program at Yogyakarta State University, but the available trainer kit is only a simple PLC trainer

kit that only is used for abstract simulation control practices and has not demonstrated control applications in the industry. Based on the problems, it needs to research the Development of Trainer Kits for Industrial Automation Based on Programmable Logic Controllers for learning in the Applied Electrical Engineering Study Program.
