Course Description
Course Code : INDR2050
This intermediate level course further develops the control systems comprehension acquired during the Foundation course through additional practical learning exercises. A highly practical course which will aid diagnostic approach and lead to faster identification and resolution of faults.
This is a predominately hands on course designed for maintenance engineers and multi skilled technicians who are likely to be the first to respond to breakdown situations. It will underpin a foundation understanding of control systems, looking at the commonalities between disciplines, their concept and construction.
This part 2 of a 2 week course has been developed to improve the knowledge and essential skills of personnel who will be expected to understand, repair and/or modify control systems typically found in industrial equipment in manufacturing and engineering facilities. Covering topics such as fundamental electrical principles, three phase theory, control power, relay logic, reading electrical schematics, motors and motor control, fault diagnostics and introducing PLC control systems.
This is a follow on course from Control Systems - Foundation INDR2040.
Course Objectives
To understand the relationship between pneumatic, electro-pneumatic, PLC's and electrical systems.
To be able to approach a breakdown situation in a methodical manner.
To be able to construct electrical and pneumatic circuits following schematic drawings.
Understand the basic principles of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's)
