ABSTRACT
This research aims to increase understanding of electronics and control systems practicum
using Proteus software and practicum directly using electronic components. Proteus software
is used to complement the limited equipment in the electrical laboratory and control laboratory.
Data was collected using the success rateof cadets in increasing their practical understanding
of electronics and control systems courses using Proteus software to complete the practicum
using electronic components and simulators in learning from 16 meetings and added with UTS KEYWORDS
and UAS. The use of Proteus software for practical activities is based on the need to improve Plumbing
cadet skills which is based on the fact that around 76% of cadets who take part in electronics Hot Water
and control systems practicum do not understand electronic circuits because the practicum Clean Water
only uses a simulator board so it needs to be combined with Proteus software to better
understand the material involved. given. Apart from the limitations of electronic component
equipment, Proteus software is used. The results showed that using Proteus software, 97% of
cadets were able to take part in this learning, which had a positive impact on learning outcomes
and cadet activities.

1. Introduction
Proteus software is often used by electronic designers to assist in designing electronic circuits and then
simulating them so that they can reduce errors or damage to electronic devices and components as a result
of wrong connections or short circuits. The use of Proteus software is very helpful for lecturers and
students in classroom learning for electronics courses in making electronic circuits that can be simulated
using a computer or laptop and can be run on Windows 7 or 10. Proteus 8 software can be downloaded
on the web with a file size that is not too large. about 157 MB large, then installed and the crack needs to
be added [1], [2]. The ease of obtaining it can be used for learning at vocational campuses which focus
more on practical activities. Along with the advancement of digital technology,computer software-based
learning is no longer foreign to the world of education. Practical activities using Proteus software in the
engineering department of the Indonesian State Maritime Polytechnic can be applied to control systems
and electronics practicum courses. The Engineering Study Program at Polimarin is a study program in the
field of engineering that focuses on electrical systems, operation and maintenance of machines used on
ships. This study program provides educational provisions for cadets to become experts in the field
of electrical engineering and ship machinery and can work in the shipbuilding and shipping industries. To
carry out practical work on electronics and control systems, you don't have to use hardware, but you can
also simulate electronic circuits using Proteus software with pictures and at the same time calculating the
current flow and voltage. By simulating electronic circuits carried out on a computer, we can manipulate
component values freely, we are also not afraid of component damage or equipment limitations, for
example the unavailability of components or measuring instruments. In practical activities on electronics

and control systems, learning with simulations is very helpful. With the simulation in Proteus software,
it can help educators overcome the shortage of electronic equipment and components in electronics
laboratories and control laboratories by carrying out practicums with software for material where
electronic components are not available so that practicums can be carried out directly in the laboratory
and by using the software. proteus.

Learning media using Proteus software has been widely applied in education as a means of improving
the quality of education which is very important in the learning process. Practical learning activities for
practical electrical circuits such as Ohm's law or Kirchofft's law are hampered by limited facilities and
infrastructure, time and laboratory equipment. The limited equipment caused the practicum activities do
not run well. Learning using a virtual laboratory is learning assisted by Proteus 8 professional software,
which is a group of electronic simulation software used to assist educators in designing andsimulating
electronic circuits. Directly, this software can be used on electronic circuit material with complete
electronic components, thereby reducing deficiencies in the completeness of practical equipment in the
laboratory, and this software can also be a learning medium in virtual laboratories without using external
equipment, simply using a computer or laptop [4].
Proteus software is also used for practicum in interface engineering courses which teach about creating
program designs and tool circuits with the Arduino UNOmicrocontroller and students are required to be
able to analyze in making certain projects related to microcontrollers [5], [6]. Learning interface
engineering courses using Proteus software can increase motivation and provide practical experience. By
using Proteus software, you can reduce the potential for damage due to errors in assembling electronic
circuits, thereby extending the life of electronic equipment used for practical work in the laboratory.
Proteussoftware is easy for educators and students to learn to carry out microcontroller circuit simulation
activities. Proteus software makes it easy to design a circuit in PCB form so thatit can be implemented
into a system to minimize the occurrence of errors [7]. There are components that make up the minimum
microcontroller circuit using Proteus software and the Arduino UNO microcontroller to form a control
system [8].

Proteus software is very good for simulating electronic circuits because it is equipped with electronic
components such as transformers, transistors, diodes, FETs, buttons, relays and contactors, digital ICs,
amplifier ICs, Arduno as well as various measuring instruments such as voltmeters, ammeters,
oscilloscopes, signals. analyzers, as well as frequency generators [10]. Monitoring solar panels can also be
simulated using Proteus software which contains solar panels connected to a microcontroller.
Components used include solar panels that are used to capture sunlight, batteries to store power, voltage
sensors to detect the amount of voltage, LCD displays to display the current and voltage resulting from
sensor readings, potentiometers to regulate the voltage, current sensors to measure the amount of current
produced. , and Arduino as circuit control [11]. Proteus software is also used in learning digital systems
material using NOT, OR, AND and NAND logic gates [6]. Meanwhile, with the seven segment display
using the writer application, the truth table proof using the binary digital command can be proven directly
with the display results via Proteus using the binary digital number commands 0 and 1.
The Proteus application is also widely used in electronics project simulations such as plant watering
line follower robots, the aim of which is to carry out routine work of watering plants by means of the
robot walking while watering the plants in its path [12]. Simulation using Proteus software on an Arduino-
based automatic stadium roof using a rain sensor and LDR sensor. The LDR sensor will read bright and
dark light conditions, theLDR sensor will also activate the stadium lights if conditions are dark, while the
rain sensor will detect rain [13]. When it receives water droplets with a value of less than 300 RH which
will be read on the LCD, the motor will activate and close stadium roof, but on the other hand, when the
rain sensor receives water droplets of more than 300RH on the LCD, the stadium roof will automatically

3. Results and Discussion


3.1 Authors and Affiliations
Based on the analysis of the need for using Proteus software for practicums, it was found that there
was a shortage of equipment and electronic components to support practicums for electronics and
control systems courses. Proteus software helps to complete the shortage of electronic components so
that practicums can be carried out in electronics laboratories and control systems laboratories using
available electronic equipment or in computer laboratories using Proteus software [19], [20]. Based on
the survey results, it was foundthat 22 cadets out of 29 cadets or 76% of cadets majoring in engineering
who tookelectronics and control systems practicum did not understand certain materials such as adapter
circuits and so on using simulators because they only took measurements while thecadets did not assemble
the adapter circuit themselves. Due to the lack of existing equipment, the appropriate solution is to use
Proteus software which can be combined withpracticum using an adapter simulator. According to cadet
respondents, the practical use of PLC is clear enough that it does not need to be combined with using
software.

Practical activities in electronics courses use electronic equipment which can be in the form of
simulators which are formed from several types of electronic components and eachelectronic component
has its own functions to form an electronic circuit. Competencies expected from this electronics
practicum include being able to understand, assemble circuits, be able to calculate values, use multimeter
and oscilloscope measuring instruments and analyze electronic circuit schemes such as transformer
circuits, measuring resistor rings, analyzing series and parallel circuits, capacitors as voltage storage, diodes,
transistors as amplifiers and switches, op-amps as inverting and non-inverting amplifiers, power supplies,
logic gates, and so on. As technology develops, electronic components become more varied and the types
are increasing. However, the basic components that make up electronic equipment such as transformers,
resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes, inductors and ICs are still used today. This electronic component
consists of one or more materials that make up electronic components which consist of one or several
material elements and when put together, to design an electronic circuit that is desired to function
according to the function of each component, some are to regulate, strengthen current and voltage,
equalizes current and voltage and many other functions.

Introduction to sensors is needed such as thermocouple sensors, rotary encoder sensors, LDR sensors,
smoke sensors, and ultrasonic sensors as basic knowledge later when working on ships. Thermocouple
is a type of temperature sensor that is used to detect or measure temperature through two different types
of metal conductors which are joined at the ends to create an effect [21]. Thermocouples are sensors that
are commonly used in industry with various types including Type E thermocouples, Type J
thermocouples, thermocouples. type K, type N thermocouple, type T thermocouple, type U
thermocouple [22]. Apart from thermocouples, ultrasonic sensors are also widely used for applications to
measure distance and speed of objects simultaneously by reflecting on walls or certain objects. Ultrasonic
sensors are usually used to measure the depth of the sea, measure the distance to certain targets, detect an
object in the sea so that ships can avoid the object. The light sensor or LDR (Light Dependent Resistor)
sensor is useful for detecting the amount of light often found in street lighting so that it can save by
detecting sunlight to determine. Savings on street lights can be made by sensors that work to detect the
intensity level of sunlight to determine when the street lights are lit. general will be on, so that during the
day the street lights will not turn on. Other sensors commonly used in industry are smoke sensors,
proximity sensors and pressure sensors.

The control system course is a course that studies open loop and close loop control systems,types of
sensors and their applications in the system, control using relays and contactors, control and programming
using Programable Logic control (PLC), control applications using the Proportional method, Integral
and Derivative (PID), control using Arduino, andso on. The limited equipment available in the control
laboratory and electronics laboratory means that the control practicum using a microcontroller is carried
out using Proteussoftware. Due to the limitations of supporting equipment such as Arduino, control
system practicum activities require control system learning innovation using professional Proteus 8
software media.
Learning about Arduino needs to be taught because many small industries use it because ofits complete
function to be able to create a system to control a machine. Apart from that, it is cheap and widely available
on the market. In order for this to happen, one medium that can help with Arduino learning is the Proteus
8 professional software medium. The completeness of the features in the Proteus 8 professional software
makes it easier for teachers to simulate control system learning [23], [24], [25]. Along with advances in
computer technology,learning based on Proteus 8 professional software technology is very suitable for
learning about microcontrollers or Arduino.
The Arduino software contained in Proteus is an application that can help us in creating programs for
a project. Arduino uses its own programming language which resembles C which can be written using the

Arduino IDE and then saved in the form of a .hex file for later uploading to Proteus. The Arduino
programming language has been changed to make it easier for beginners to program. The use of Proteus
software for learning activities is an effort to increase students' knowledge of microcontroller material by
creating an Arduino application for writing on a 16x2 LCD. LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) 16x2 is a type
of display media or display made from liquid crystal material as the main display. LCD 16x2 can display
as many as 32 characters consisting of 2 lines with each line displaying 16 characters. On the Arduino, to
control theLCD, the legs on the Arduino are connected to the LCD leg in the following order: Pin 1 of
the Arduino is connected to leg 11 of the LCD or data 4, pin 2 of the Arduino is connected to leg 12 of
the LCD or data 5, Pin 3 of the Arduino is connected to leg 13 LCD or data 6, Pin 4 of the Arduino is
connected to leg 14 of the LCD or data 7, Pin 5 of the Arduino is connected to leg 6 of the LCD or
enable leg, Pin 7 of the Arduino is connected to leg 4 of the LCD or Kali RS, and leg 5 of the LCD or
RW is connected to Ground , After completing assembling the 16x2 LCD circuit, the cadets write their
names and roll numbers in running text form as follows:

Observation activities were carried out during one semester for 18 meetings consisting of 16
practicum meetings for electronics and control systems courses plus one mid-semester exam and one
final semester exam. During the 18 meetings, a combination of practicum was carried out, namely using
electronic components in the control laboratory and electronics laboratory as well as using Proteus
software in the computer laboratory. Cadets were able to use the Proteus software to create a 16 x 2 LCD
circuit using Proteus software. From the results of a survey conducted on cadets, 97% of cadets
understood practicum using a combination method using Proteus software and practicum using electronic
components in the laboratory.

4. Conclusion
Based on the results of the research that has been carried out, it can be concluded that the use of
Proteus software is very useful for helping lecturers and students in carrying out practical learning for
electronics and control systems at the Indonesian State Maritime Polytechnic, especially for material where
electronic components are not available and is useful for general online learning. The practical course
using the Proteus application increases cadets' understanding on the electronic equipment in the
laboratory because students are not afraid to practice and assemble electronic components. Due to
incorrectly assembling the components can cause short [Link]
