This study presents the development and evaluation of a state-of-the-art Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and human machine interface trainer specifically designed for instructional purposes. PLCs and HMIs are critical components in modern industrial automation, and their effective use demands a comprehensive understanding of their programming, operation, and troubleshooting. Therefore, this research aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application by creating a versatile and interactive PLC and HMI training tool. The primary objective of this study is to design a PLC and HMI trainer that offers a user-friendly interface, comprehensive educational content, and real-world simulation capabilities. The study was conducted at Bohol Island State University (BISU) Main Campus, Tagbilaran City in the academic year 2020-2021. The study employed the experimental method of research in testing its effectiveness and descriptive design in determining the performance of the trainer. The performance of the trainer was evaluated by experts from the academe and private industry. The researcher used an observation guide to determine the functionality and the performance of the trainer. The results revealed that the trainer's performance was found to be functional and performs to its full potential and is an effective tool for instruction.
