Institution:

Lafayette College

Subject:

Description:

This course is designed to introduce the student to electromechanical control of pneumatic circuits, servomechanisms and synchros. Electromechanical control consists of using solenoids and relays to operate a pneumatic circuit. The student will learn electrical symbols, operation of solenoids, relays, and control valves. The circuitry studies will cover safety circuits, reciprocation, sequencing, timing and sensing. The student will also learn about controlling power and automatically correcting the performance of a mechanism by using a servo, as well as using a synchro to keep the angular rotation or position constant. Topics to be covered are: power and signal amplifiers, open and closed loop control, error detection, overshoot, zero position, and control transmitters and transformers (3 Credits).
