Hydraulics Control Systems
Hydraulic training courses
Designed to familiarise participants with more complex hydraulic controls, the course introduces aspects of the electrical control of hydraulic systems.
The course investigates the control of multiple actuator circuits and includes sequence and pressure dependant operations. The use of accumulators is covered and some of their applications demonstratedin the practical exercises.
Delegates will use switches, relays and proximity sensors to solve control problems and both circuit and motion diagrams will be used for circuit planning and fault finding.
Target Group
All personnel involved in the design, installation and maintenance of industrial hydraulic devices and control systems.
Previous knowledge
'Modern Industrial Hydraulics (H511)'. No previous electrical knowledge is required.
Syllabus
- Review of power pack, valve symbols, circuit construction
- Multiple actuator circuits
- Accumulator applications
- Pressure dependant sequence
- Solenoid operated valves
- Electrical circuits, diagrams and symbols
- Relays
- Pressure switch
- System documentation including motion diagram, function chart
- Proximity sensors
- System design
- Practical fault finding
On completion of this course the participants will be able to:
- Recognise the components of a hydraulic control system
- Identify the switches and sensors used in the control system
- Understand the function of solenoid operated directional control valves
- Use circuit and motion diagrams to identify circuit operation and sequence
- Design and construct basic hydraulic and control circuits
N.B. Course contents are only a guide and will be covered as far as time permits.
Course Duration
Courses take place over three days and are available in-house or at one of our national training centres. Practical exercises are used throughout the course. Candidates will also use FluidSIM, a Festo software package for the design and simulation of fluid power circuits.
