The article presents possibilities of using Pneumatics TP101 laboratory workstation and FluidSim P programme for research and testing pneumatic circuits during laboratory classes carried out in the Mechatronics Laboratory of the Faculty of Transport andElectrical Engineering at the Technical University of Radom.
Examples of laboratory experiments of systems performing logic functions are given.
PNEUMATIC SYSTEMS PERFORMING LOGICAL FUNCTIONS
The article presents the possibilities of the Pneumatics TP laboratory workstation and the FluidSim P software by FESTO DIDACTIC for researching and testing pneumatic elements and systems. The workstations were launched in the Mechatronics Laboratory of the Faculty of Transport and Electrical Engineering at the Technical University of Radom and are used for laboratory classes.
Examples of laboratory exercises using logic elements are provided.
1. INTRODUCTION
Pneumatic systems play a very important role in modern machines. A large number of presently manufactured machines incorporate more or less complicated pneumatic control or actuation systems. What is more, in many of them these systems are their most crucial element. One can distinguish two principal sources of external energy used in modern control and automatic systems: electrical energy and the energy of the medium (air, oil) being under a specific pressure. The use of the energy of the medium enables application of pneumatic and hydraulic control systems, in particular measurement and logical systems. (…)
