Basic principles of control technology
Basic control circuits also have their place in modern automation technology, as simple automation tasks are still set up with low-cost safety circuits.
Realistic projects are executed using the equipment set and practical exercises. The design, function and areas of application of the components are explained along with their use.
Selecting the correct switching elements and equipment is just as important as the correct use and adjustment of protective devices.
The general operating principles are explained using examples and the basic knowledge of the control technology with contacts is explained comprehensively.
