Aims

Objectives of the course refers to the technical knowledge concerning the configuring, commissioning and operation of modern drive systems with small and medium power.

The course focuses especially on the adjustable drives from the technological side in a modern plant.

Familiarity with the execution elements: electrohydraulic, electropneumatic, servomec.,

Sizing and configuration of modern energy supply systems

Troubleshooting the kinematic chain: network-converter-motor-execution element as well as the feedback loop with built-in regulator.
