Abstract Mechatronic systems represent the interaction in real automation applications of the mechanical systems and the electronic control. Modular mechatronic systems implementation results not only in the improvement of the system abilities but also in savings of time to market because of the possibility to select, wire and adjust fewer components. The usage of programmable logic controllers (PLC) for the core of the modular system has been accepted as a general approach in the industry automation. The goal of the presented research is to develop a reliable electronic system and proper assignments for practice in the mechatronic field including real components – PLCs, motors, motor drives and sensors. The practical implementation of the laboratory set-up is explained. Some software examples are presented.
