ELT 207 - Electrohydra Process Control

Credit(s): 3
Lecture/Lab Contact Hours: 2, 3

This is a course designed to provide the student with a solid background in fluid power control principles and theory, as well as modern techniques for interfacing industrial muscle (hydraulic, pneumatic, vacuum operated devices) with the ubiquitous industrial brain (electronic-microprocessor)generation of controllers. There will be discussions of electric motor drives, solenoid operated devices, pressure switches/transducers, relays, limit switches, programmable controls, servo systems, analog and digital control, open and closed loop control, feedback, symbology, instrumentation, etc. There will be emphasis on demonstration of relevant hardware, as well as class participation in design and troubleshooting of industrial types of circuits.
