Educational Programs at AutomationDirect

15% EDUCATIONAL DISCOUNT

That’s right! We offer 15% off our already low prices for any products that are to be used in the classroom or lab for educational purposes.

COST-EFFECTIVE HARDWARE

Our great prices are perfect for educational programs. With PLCs priced lower than many textbooks, some schools just have each student purchase their own PLC. Imagine how productive your students can be – if they aren’t tethered to the lab to work on their projects.

FREE PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE

Break free from costly software and sticky licensing issues. Our FREE software is perfect for educational programs. No license hassles for the school and the students are encouraged to load the programming software on their personal devices. All of our PLC programming software products are available as FREE downloads. We have FREE HMI software, FREE VFD software, FREE servo system software, and FREE setup software for temperature probes, light curtains, safety controllers…. the list goes on.

FREE DOCUMENTATION

Download PDF files of all our documentation for use in your classroom. Manuals, instruction sheets, product inserts – everything is just a few clicks away.
