Abstract: The changeable modular training system disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,623,312 is extended to include an energy management microprocessing unit, i.e. CPU, a keyboard, a video screen, a remote sensor, and a microprocessing interface unit, to create an energy management microprocessing training system. These added components are formed in the same size modules and/or are interconnected, where needed, by the same electrical connectors and the same peg and slot supports as used in the changeable modular training system. This energy management microprocessing training system is used when students are taught how to program, operate, install, service, and troubleshoot mechanical and electronic control systems in a classroom, when using simulated control systems.

Abstract: A module for use in a training system assembly which includes a power base is multi-sided and includes mechanical-electrical feet on one side for jacking the module into the power base or into a second module. Detent spring latches are disposed on another side of the module for receiving the feet of a second module atop the first module. The module is hollow and an electrical component is mounted therein. The component is an electrical connection with the feet and the detent spring latches. A display is on a third side of the module and the rear of the module includes a fault selector switch which causes the component to be in either an operating configuration or a fault configuration.
