Introduction to Electro-Pneumatics
Designed as a general introduction to the function and operation of pneumatic and electrical equipment used in simple Electro-Pneumatic controls, the course covers the design and practical construction of such circuits.
The course deals with the control of pneumatic actuators using electrical sensing and switching devices. Electrical principles are covered at a basic level, but some previous knowledge of pneumatic equipment is required.
Training Outcomes
On completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Read and understand Electro-Pneumatic circuit diagrams
- Design Electro-Pneumatic circuits
- Understand fundamentals and terminology of Electro-Pneumatic control engineering
- Understand the function and operation of a range of proximity sensors
- Read, interpret and construct motion diagrams
- Understand Pneumatic symbols
- Understand Electro-Pneumatic symbols
- Construct multi-cylindercontrol circuits
N.B. Course contents are only a guide and will be covered as far as time permits.
Target Group
All personnel involved with the design, installation and maintenance of industrial Electro-Pneumatic equipment and basic control systems.
Course Duration
Courses take place over three days and are available in-house or at one of our national training centres.
