This course is a continuation of using both pneumatics and electro-pneumatics as an application-orientated package.

Target group: Design engineers, plant engineers, maintenance staff and instructors.

The content includes:

• Combination of pneumatic power section and electrical control section (review).

• Pneumatic and Electrical Symbology (review) ISO1219, IEC61346.

• Power section devices and actuators. Specific applications: bellows, fluidic muscle, rodless and rotary drives, grippers and pulse ejectors.

• Valves and basic logic functions (binary control, two-hand control).

• Sequence control:

- Cascade Control and sequence stepper.

- Co-ordinated Electrical sequence and logic controllers.

• Vacuum technology.

• Emergency controls (soft start).

• Rotary Index tables.

• Strip Feed units.

• Safety regulations and valid industrial standards.

• Practical exercise and typical industrial circuits.

Outcomes
After completing this course, the participant will be able to:

• Design, assemble and test complex pneumatic and electro-pneumatic control systems.

• Identify and describe the design, features and operation of specific application power section devices and valves.

• Describe the fundamentals of vacuum generation and applications.

• Understand the function of safety and emergency controls in pneumatic and electro-pneumatic systems.

• Describe the function and applications of low pressure pneumatics.

Requirements (Suggested):

The “Pneumatics level 1” (PN111) course.
