Pneumatic and Electro-Pneumatic Systems, Design, Operation and Maintenance

Introduction

Pneumatic Air is used for many industrial applications including for actuators and valves, motors, conveying, instrumentation, ESDV circuits, etc. This course is designed to provide basic concepts and practical advice on how to Design Pneumatic & Electro-Pneumatic Circuits and use them for the process automation of many units. The course covers fundamentals of pneumatics including the air compressor and properties of air, pneumatic and electro-pneumatic components, and industrial applications of the same. It also provides exposure to software tools used for design and simulation. Guidelines for operations and maintenance are also provided to make it useful for day-to-day requirements.

Objectives

    By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

    • Learn pneumatic air fundamentals including generation and distribution
    • Understand the working principles of pneumatic and electro-pneumatic components
    • Learn to carry out successful automation from laboratory to the real-life project
    • Understand the operations and maintenance of Pneumatic & Electro-Pneumatic components
    • Know the software tools used for design, engineering, and simulation of circuits.
    • Develop skills to diagnose/troubleshoot pneumatic and electro-pneumatic circuits

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.

Who Should Attend?

The course is intended for Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation and Process Engineers, Project Engineers, Maintenance Engineers, and Supervisors interested to work in the field of Hydraulics, Automation, and Process Control. The course will also definitely be beneficial for all the other department people concerned with the plant operations, production, maintenance, and safety. It could be also useful for procurement and quality personnel.
