This course is a basic study of the principles of fluid power systems based on industrial applications. This course will have a heavy focus on pneumatic circuit operation and troubleshooting. Students will learn how to interpret a pneumatic circuit print and predict the operation of the circuit. The course will utilize the simulation software, Automation Studio, to understand how each pneumatic circuit operates.The course will also construct and trouble shoot the circuits in a controlled lab environment with industrial grade devices. The student will be introduced to hydraulic circuits, focusing on the safety of working with hydraulic systems and components, and interpreting hydraulic symbols in circuits. The student will also be introduced to controlling a pneumatic circuit with electrical/PLC circuits utilizing the simulation software in an asynchronous format.
