Foreword

Festo Didactic GmbH & Co. Electrohydraulics

This set of overhead transparencies has been designed for use with the basic levelof the technology package TP600 Electrohydraulics. The set of overhead

transparencies and the technology package form part of the Learning System for

Automation from Festo Didactic GmbH & Co.

The 30 transparencies in this set have been optimised from the didactic and

methodological points of view. Each transparency is accompanied by a short text

which provides the trainer with a quick overview of the training contents of the

transparency concerned.

Basic principles of electrohydraulics

Function and use of electrohydraulic components

Basic principles of electrical engineering

Production and interpretation of standard hydraulic and electrical circuit

diagrams

The text sheet includes a complete illustration of the transparency, in certain cases

with additional explanations and legends which the trainer can enter on the

transparency in the course of a training session.

The advantages of this concept are:

The trainer can add to the transparencies step by step in the course of a trainingsession.

The trainer is thus able to create a lively and interesting atmosphere.

The provision of accompanying text means less preparation work for the trainer.

The enclosed CD-ROM contains the entire overhead transparencies and

accompanying text of this edition in an electronically presentable form in the files

Electrohydraulics _transparencies.pdf and Electrohydraulics _text.pdf. In

addition to the screen presentation, which can be made in any order, the contents

can be printed out and text and graphics can be used for your own training

preparations, insofar as the functionality of the required Adobe

Acrobat

Reader

permits this. This freely distributable software is available on the CD-ROM in the

currently valid English version for Windows 95/98/NT for installation in the directory

Acrobat_Reader. Please start the file rs405eng.exe and follow the subsequent

dialogue.

Ohms law

Describes the relationship between current (I), voltage (V) and resistance (R).

With ohmic resistances, the current rises in linear proportion to the voltage.

The value pairs for a constant resistance lie on a straight line. The current I is

proportional to the voltage V.

Mathematical formula for Ohms law: V = R I

Analogue, digital and binary

Analogue values describe continuous functions, such as the continuous filling of a

bucket of water.

Digital values describe integer parts of a maximum value. A dice, for example, shows

one of six possible numbers.

Binary values are a special form of digital values. They can assume only two values,

such as in the case of a switch, which can only be on or off.

Momentary and sustained contact switches

Actuation of contacts.

A momentary contact switch has a rest positionand an actuated position.

A sustained contact switch has two detents. It thus has two rest positions.

Momentary and sustained switches can close or open current paths or switch from

one current path to another.

Proximity switches

Signal is generated by the presence of any material with good conductivity in an

oscillating magnetic field.

Signal is also generated by all insulators with high dielectric constants in an

electrical field.

Signal is generated when light barriers are interrupted or when light is reflected

back to an optical sensor.

Signal is generated by magnets whose fields close the built-in contacts in the switch.

Solenoid (electromagnet)

A magnetic field with concentric field lines is created around a conductor carrying an

electrical current.

A coil carrying an electrical current develops a uniform magnetic field in its axial

direction due to the overlapping of field lines.

By appropriate alignment of elementary magnets, an iron core can be made into a

switchable electromagnet.

Electrohydraulic converters (solenoid valves)

Convert electrical signals into hydraulic switching operations.

The switching armature is drawn into the coil, which acts as a magnet.

This produces a displacement of the actuating piston in the hydraulic 4/2-way valve.
