Power Hydraulics - Part of Modular Certificate in Automation and Control (DEM1)
About This Course
This module aims to impart the fundamental concepts of industrial hydraulic applications to be implemented in automation and process industries. Core competencies in the module will include the understanding of the typical component blocks such as hydraulic power pack systems, hydraulic actuators and the different types of hydraulic valves that make up industrial hydraulic systems for various applications. An integration of the industrial hydraulic system with electrical controls will be illustrated.
Laboratory work involves simulation, hands-on circuit construction and implementation using these various technologies and techniques, which enhances students’ understanding of the practical aspects of circuit designs and their applications in the manufacturing and process industries. The practical skills acquired from this module are required for the follow-up module in integration-based subjects as well as project work.
