This course allows you to extend your technical and methodological knowledge. It also provides attendees with the ability to understand the functional relationships of complex machinery, identify and eliminate faults using a troubleshooting procedure on actual industrial components as well as systems. It develops the mindset around systematic thinking and actions to locate as well as solve problems in automation systems.
Target Group: Design engineers, plant engineers, maintenance staff and instructors.
The content includes:
• Functional relationships between mechanical elements, pneumatics, electronics and PLCs.
• Design and function of pneumatic and electro-pneumatic components.
• Basic principles of sensor technology.
• Reviewing, completing and using machine documentation.
• Developing and applying troubleshooting strategies in a team.
• Optimising systems using fault documentation.
• Learning and applying safety regulations as well as stringent standards.
• Process Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) as a method of preventive maintenance.
• Optimisation of a production-related system with Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) components.
• Practical exercises on systematic troubleshooting.
Outcomes
After completing this course, the participant will be able to:
• Describe the functional relationship between mechanical, pneumatic, electronic and PLC components.
• Use and master problem solving, troubleshooting techniques and strategies for complex pneumatic, electro-pneumatic, PLC industrial systems and equipment.
• Become familiar with function plans and machine fault lists.
• Be familiar with the safety aspects of pneumatic, electro-pneumatic and PLC systems.
• Effectively use PLC’s to identify and locate failures in an electro-pneumatic system.
