| Troubleshooting Relay Systems This course spans 2 1/2 days and is broken into 5 Parts. Part One: Day 1 begins with a pretest. After the pretest, the students examine basic electrical components like the 3-phase disconnect and circuit breaker. They will also examine fuse classifications, overload heaters, control transformers, push button switches, relays and motors. In the first day they will also learn about single phasing and reversing 3-phase motor rotation. Part Two: Session 2 continues with electrical component operation. In part 2 they will learn about latch relays, lamps, limit, pressure, flow, thermal, foot, proximity, float, key, rotary, multi-stage, push-to-test and maintained push button switches. Also covered in part 2 are timers, timer contacts, solenoids, potentiometers, diodes, rectifier operation, SCR's, triacs and more. Part Three: During the third training session students will examine cable connectors and terminal strips. After completing basic component operation, the program provides an introduction to relay circuit operation. Part 3 concludes with common Safety procedures which should be followed by all employees or students when working on any electrical system. Part Four: The fourth session provides an in depth understanding of relay circuit operation. You will learn control fundamentals. The student will learn the difference between control devices and output devices. You will learn about relay ladder sequencing and how to wire control transformers for both high and low 3-phase voltage potentials. At the end of their fourth training session, your students will be able to read and understand relay ladder diagrams Part Five: The final training session contains useful troubleshooting tips and techniques. Problems such as locating broken wires, locating shorted components, how to find the cause of intermittent failures and how to locate the cause of a blown fuse and many other common electrical problems are all covered in part 5. The final exam is also administered in this training session. $299.00 Tuition includes Pre-Test, Final Examination and Student Workbooks. |
| Control Systems 101 Part 1 begins with an introduction into servo control theory. You will examine fundamental operating characteristics of open-loop and close-loop servo systems. You will also examine basic electrical principles like Ohm's law and power equations, series circuits and parallel circuits. Part 1 begins laying a solid foundation for mastering servo control troubleshooting techniques. Part Two; In the second portion of this amazing training course your students will gain an in depth understanding of DC and 3-phase AC motor operation. Permanent magnet and brushless DC motor operations are covered in great detail. Also covered are stepper motors and 3-phase squirrel cage motors. Your students will also examine shunt, series, compound and separately excited DC servo connections. Part 2 also explains the operation of 3-phase current and how it effects the operation of both AC and DC motors. Part Three: No servo training is complete without an in depth examination of semiconductor theory. Part 3 meets this vital need. You will take an exciting journey into semiconductor theory. By the end of the day they will understand how semiconductor devices actually work. They will examine diodes, bi-polar junction transistors, FET devices, MOSFET devices, SCR's, Triacs and more. Knowing how to troubleshoot and test these vital components is necessary for any servo control technician. Part Four: This segment of the servo training provides a close examination of common feedback devices used to monitor both speed and positioning of a moving axis. They will learn how tach-generators function, resolver operation, incremental and absolute encoder operation, about inductosyn scales and linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) operating characteristics. Part 4 also explains how the main controller is able to monitor and control positioning of an axis. Learning how feedback devices function is vital to repairing downed equipment due to servo malfunctions. Part Five: After completing the first four parts of the servo control training your students are ready to begin an in depth study of DC control servo systems and techniques. Phase control, ramp control, PWM and frequency control techniques are all examined. Also covered in part 5 are mechanical, dynamic and regenerative braking techniques. Part 5 goes to the heart and soul of the DC servo control system. Part Six: Here you will gain an in depth understanding of AC drive theory and operation. You will examine voltage source inverters, voltage variable inverters and current source inverters. They will also examine phase, ramp, frequency, pulse width modulation, and chopper control inverter systems. They will see how the 3-phase electricity is converted into direct current, filtered and inverted back to a pulsating potential capable of running an AC motor. Part Seven: Part 7 continues the study of various servo drives with the examination of the brushless DC motor drive, stepper motor drive and vector motor drive. Part 7 also covers system integration, external connections, avoiding cabling problems, proper enclosures, common electrical problems and proper grounding techniques. Part Eight: The final training session is centered around troubleshooting techniques. They will learn how to analyze servo faults, determine when drive adjustments are required, how to interpret fault indicators, examine common servo failures and learn how to handle them. They will also learn Safety procedures when working around any automated piece of equipment. All Five Intense Days includes Workbooks Pre-Test and Final Examination $499.00 |
