The goal of Festo Didactic is to offer further training that not only supports personnel in companies with current problems, but that also provides new approaches to future tasks.
Festo is fast becoming a key partner to the process industry. Close coordination with our parent company, Festo AG & Co. KG., ensures the use of the most modern equipment and systems in our learning systems and a source of first-hand expertise for our trainers.
However our focus and methodology also set us apart. Our trainers and consultants are practicians. They are familiar with the requirements of the participants attending their courses, including those requirements that go beyond the purely technical.
We set ourselves a high standard. You will immediately notice the difference between our seminars and those offered by other providers. We provide new answers to old questions – answers that will help you to take that critical step in your operational projects.

Open seminar on MCR fundamentals of control technology
The participants will acquire basic knowledge and skills in the areas of electrical engineering as well as measurement and control technology. They will learn about the basic structure, mode of operation and application of process engineering systems and be able to use this equipment. The procedure for the identification of control systems, selection of a suitable controller and definition and setting of control parameters will also be explained.
Target group
The seminar is recommended for anyone seeking training in the fundamentals of control technology.
Training aims
- Project planning, standards, flow charts
- Analysis of the sensors, actuators, components and control systems in a system
- Measurement transformation of physical measurement variables
- Analogue value processing with Siemens S7
- Analysis, recording and evaluation of various control processes such as level, flow rate, pressure and temperature
- Commissioning of a test system
- Basic principles of control technology, P, I, PI and PID controllers in theory and practice
- Definition: Y – W – Z – X – etc., amplification, rate time, reset time, dwell time, balance time, inactive time
- Setting of the control parameters for different control processes
- Practical utilisation of applications in the process industry: use of an industrial controller as control equipment, use of a Siemens PLC (S7-300) as control equipment
Specific customer training course, for example fundamentals of control technology
Customer-specific training course for those employed in the areas of maintenance, servicing and operational support. The following training aims are conveyed to the participants using the professional training equipment of Festo Didactic through "learning by doing":
- Cross section of all controller types (P, I, D, PI, PD, PID)
- Controller technologies (Fluid Lab®-PA, industrial controllers and modern PLCs)
Looking for something more?
Workshop offering more complex exercises on practical operational support and maintenance, for example.
- Replacement and reuse of sensors and their incorporation into a control process
- Error localisation through diagnosis of the controller characteristics
- Control process with inactive time (on request)
