About Course
🛠️ Course description: Fundamentals of pneumatics
Pneumatics is a central element of modern automation technology and plays a crucial role in the control and regulation of machines and systems. This course teaches you the basic terms, principles and applications of pneumatics and electropneumatics. You will learn how pneumatic systems work, how they are constructed and how they are used in industrial practice.
Â
Practical examples - such as the control of a traffic light system or the deployment of traffic wardens in road traffic - are used to explain complex interrelationships in an understandable way. Interactive elements, descriptive diagrams and exercises help you to understand and prepare you optimally for practical application.
Â
🎯 Learning objectives
After completing the course you can:
- apply the basic concepts of automation technology with confidence.
- explain the difference between control and regulation according to DIN IEC 60050-351.
- recognise and assign different signal types (analogue, digital, binary).
- Read and create function diagrams and use them to analyse errors.
- understand and apply the GRAFCET standard.
- Plan, document and optimise processes in pneumatic systems.
- Correctly use returns and jumps in flowcharts.
- analyse practical examples and transfer them to their own projects.
