In PLC and Pneumatic control, a visual aid is needed in the form of a trainer which can be used as a basic reference and makes it easier for Mechanical Engineering students to understand the working system of PLC and pneumatic controls. This design aims to be able to carry out pneumatic motion simulations with reference to the simulation on the Festo Fluidsim 3.6 software programming. The trainer design has 3 main parts, namely a frame made of iron, a programmable automatic control device in the form of a PLC and the third is a mechanical movement device in the form of a pneumatic circuit. This tool will be integrated into a circuit system which is then tested with 3 experiments based on circuit simulations made in the Festo Fluidsim 3.6 software. The test results from 3 simulation experiments show that 1) the PLC control system can send signals to the mechanical motion of a single acting cylinder, 2) the PLC control system can send signals to the mechanical motion of a double acting cylinder with non- simultaneous motion, 3) the PLC control system can send signals on the mechanical motion of a double acting cylinder with simultaneous motion. From the 3 experimental tests, it was found that the number of strokes for a single acting cylinder was more than that for a double acting cylinder. The three tests showed that they could move the cylinder well with variations in flow control, namely the flow control openings of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.
