BASIC INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS COURSE DESCRIPTION
Course Length – 4 ½ Days
Synopsis – This is a beginning-level electronics training course
that provides the student with a working knowledge of industrial
electronic control systems. Fundamental AC circuit concepts necessary for
the understanding all electronic systems are covered in detail.
Troubleshooting and circuit repair techniques are addressed throughout the
course.
The Basic Industrial
Electronics training seminar begins with the
theory and operation of the oscilloscope; familiarity with the application
of this instrument will be gained as it is used throughout the week in the
many component and system lab projects. A detailed analysis of major
semiconductor components is undertaken; first the theory is presented
through short lectures, then this theory is reinforced through hands-on
labs sessions. The program concludes with an in-depth analysis of
typical electronic motor and generator control systems.
Who Should Attend - Electricians, Instrument Technicians,
Maintenance Supervisors, Plant Engineers.
Curriculum – Oscilloscopes: Types,
theory, operation.
AC Circuit Theory:
Sine wave fundamentals, inductance, capacitance, impedance, resonance,
tuned circuits. Introduction to Semiconductors: Diodes,
transistors, SCR’s, other semiconductors, semiconductor lab work. Introduction to Integrated
Circuits. Introduction to Analog Systems: Operational
amplifier characteristics, connection configurations, introduction to
closed loop systems, operational amplifier lab work.
Optical Electronic Devices: LED’s, LCD’s, opto-couplers, optical
displays.
Introduction to Digital Systems: Truth
tables, gate types, multiple gate configurations, pulse forming circuitry,
flip-flops, counters and shift registers, the role of microprocessors,
digital communication concepts, digital system lab work.
Introduction to Solid-State Power Devices: GTO’s, IGBT’s, MOS-FET’s,
Hall Effect Current Transformers. Introduction to
Solid-State Control Systems: DC motor drives; AC motor controls;
reduced voltage starters, variable frequency drives (VFD’s), synchronous
motor field exciters; AC generator voltage regulators and engine
governors.
Prerequisites – No previous electronic experience is required for
the Basic Industrial Electronics training program,
however attendees should have an electrical background. Individuals
without previous electrical experience should first enroll in the
Electrical Fundamentals Seminar.
Maximum recommended number of students for this training program - 10
