This is the entry level to the BFPA learning and development programme of a two-tier competence based qualification in the maintenance and management of pneumatic systems.
This course combines the necessary knowledge and practical skills to ensure competency when working with pneumatic equipment and systems.
- Interpret electro – pneumatic circuit diagrams
- Safety in electro – pneumatic systems
- Electro-pneumatic controls
- Components and symbols
- Circuit design
- Maintain electro – pneumatic circuits
Minimum Candidates required 6 (Max 8)
This course includes the Pneumatics Foundation This course includes the
Pneumatics Foundation Level 1 training.
Please note. The training course ‘introduction to electro-pneumatics’ is not an electrical qualification and does not prepare people to work unsupervised on electrical systems. The course provides the opportunity to construct control circuits using electro-pneumatic components, in a supervised training environment, focussed on the function and operation of 24volt DC devices. Formal qualifications and relevant experience, above the scope of the course, are required for anyone working on electrical installations.
Pneumatic and electrical component symbols
- Identification of common symbols in a typical
electro-pneumatic circuit. - Overview of the basic components in an electropneumatic system
- FRL, valves and cylinders.
- Pressure switches, relays, timers.
Electrical principles and techniques
- The relationship between voltage, current and
resistance. - Ohms law – The relationship between voltage,
current and resistance. - Power law – The relationship between voltage,
current and watts
Electro-pneumatic components
- The principle of operation of solenoid valves,
covering the difference between direct acting
and internal and external pilot solenoid valves. - Types of sensors: reed switches, solid state.
pressure, flow. - Understand the use of relays in a circuit.
- Understand timers and timer functions.
- Know the functional operation of input and out
put devices (analogue and digital). - The difference between open loop and closed
loop control systems.
Maintenance procedures
- Common failures in electro-pneumatic
systems. - Basic circuit testing
