Profile
The first objective of this lab is to familiarize in fluid power automation and different components of Hydraulics, pneumatics, electro-hydraulic / electro-pneumatic and PLC based systems. The second objective is to give hands-on experience in designing and executing of circuits for real systems. The virtual simulation experiments are based on electro-pneumatic, electro-hydraulic and PLC based systems. This course is focused for third-year undergraduate students to learn the basics of automation and postgraduate students to get enhancement in the area of automation. The undergraduate and postgraduate students when they are in final year may utilize this knowledge to design and development of automated systems.
