Stage 3 Electro-Hydraulics

Duration:

4 Days (1:00pm Monday - 1:00pm Friday)

Who is it for:

This course has been designed for mechanical craftsmen, technicians, engineers and managers involved in the maintenance and design of electro-hydraulic control systems. It is also essential for Technical Sales or Applications Engineers involved in writing or interpreting proposals for electro-hydraulic systems.

Entry Requirements:

The NFPC Stage 2 Hydraulics (Industrial or Mobile) course is a pre-requisite to this course. No electrical experience is necessary or assumed; although a basic understanding of electro-hydraulic system applications would be advantageous.

Course Aims:

On completion of this course candidates will:

• Have a good level of familiarity with the theory of electrical principles
• Have a thorough understanding of the interactions between electrical components
• Understand the use of electrical control components in sequential circuits
• Be able to design and construct simple electro-hydraulic circuits
• Be able to trace simple logic circuits through an industrial PLC
• Know the basic operation of proportional amplifier cards
• Be able to identify and rectify basic problems with proportional and closed-loop control systems.

Course Outline:

• Electrical principles - fundamentals of voltage, current and resistance
• Electrical components – sensors, relays, solenoids
• Electronic components – resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes
• Electrical symbols and notation – read and interpret an electrical circuit diagram
• Operation of programmable logic controllers (PLC)
• Practical exercises – build electro-hydraulic circuits using relays and/or a PLC
• Fundamentals of digital and analogue signals and systems
• Sensors and transducers applied to speed, position, and pressure measurement
• Introduction to open-loop and closed-loop control
• Proportional valve amplifiers in electro-hydraulic systems
• Practical exercises – using proportional valve amplifiers in open-loop and closed loop applications
