The introduction to process and control technology
What is EduKit PA?An experimental construction kit from Festo Didactic allowing you to learn plant engineering and process automation.
EduKit PA BasicManual measurement, controland regulation
EduKit PA AdvancedAutomated measurement, open and closed loop control
Familiar processes as examplesIn modern households many machines are automated: bread baking, washing machine, dish washer, ...
Industrial processesFully automated. Sensors, actuators and processors ensurea structured procedure.

Condition Monitoring usingFluid Lab®-PA process
The software tool Fluid Lab®-PAprocess is particularly suitable for condition monitoring. Current controlmodescanbesavedorprinted in order to compare with later measurements.
Measurement, open and closed loop control as in industry:•fromelementarycommissio- ning using the simulation box up to real PLC applications using the SysLink interface •conditionmonitoringusing Fluid Lab®-PA and EasyPort USB viaanEasyOPCDriverand activex-control•experimentation,configuration and optimisation of control processes (2-point, P-, PI- or PID-control)•controlusingEasyPortUSB together with FluidSIM®, C++, Visual Basic, Lab View•energymonitoringbymeans of the optional DC wattmeter
Web Based Training
Studying and exploring the basics of process automation:Using images of industrial appli-cations, graphics of physical andtechnological principles and animated processes that you can control, you can easily learn the characteristicsandspecificsofprocess automation.
Learning by doing
Using the workbook, you will beguided in steps from manual tofully-automated measurement, open and closed loop control. With the aid of the educational objectivecontrol,theacquiredknowledge can be checkedandconfirmed.
