142 Process Automation Explore the Role of Electrical Technology in Instrumentation and Process Control Complementary Areas of Expertise > Process Automation From basic to advanced topics Our portfolio of learning systems in process automation are specifically designed for educational purposes, exposing learners to the techniques, systems, and components they will encounter in the workplace. This provides realistic, hands-on learning opportunities in a safe environment, where learners can experiment and make mistakes without affecting live production systems. Depending on the scope of the learning systems chosen, learners can monitor and control flow, level, pressure, temperature, pH, and conductivity. In batch processes, control and monitoring devices ensure each step of production runs safely and accurately. Sensors measure variables like temperature, pressure, flow, and level, while actuators—such as valves, pumps, and heaters—adjust the process as needed. Controllers, including PLCs and DCS systems, use this data to regulate operations, and monitoring tools like HMIs and SCADA systems let operators track progress and respond to issues. Together, these devices help students understand how electrical and control systems work in real industrial processes. Industrial components Training equipment incorporates components and technologies from leading industrial suppliers, including many smart devices that are increasingly part of modern systems, providing a realistic learning experience. Most systems also offer hands-on practice with industry-standard communication protocols, which are essential in today’s connected industries. Curriculum available Ready-to-use learning materials are provided as multimedia courses on the Festo LX digital learning portal, or as printed and downloadable PDF workbooks. The curriculum emphasizes handson experimentation with the learning systems, while several purely digital eLearning courses complement practical training by deepening theoretical knowledge.
