PLC Based Hydraulic Trainer

PLC Based Hydraulic Trainer PLC Based Hydraulic Trainer is designed to demonstrate operation of various Hydraulic Circuits with help of PLC Controller. The trainer used different electrically operated hydraulic valves & electronic sensors to demonstrate real life applications of Hydraulic Power. The trainer consists of a workstation panel for mounting of hydraulic components. The workstation is equipped with a power pack to supply oil under pressure to the components during operation. The components supplied along with the trainer include Direction Control Valves (Solenoid Operated & Hand Lever Operated), Pressure Control Valves, Flow control valves, Check Valve, Linear Actuators, and Accumulators etc. Each hydraulic component like valve, cylinder etc is mounted on a mounting plate & has adaptors for making connections using hoses. The input the PLC comes from proximity switches & the PLC operates the hydraulic valve in programmed sequence. Experimental Capabilities: To study Hydraulic Power pack & its components. To study operation of different Hydraulic Direction Control Valves. To study operation of Hydraulic Check Valve. To study operation of Flow Control Valve. To study operation of Pressure Relief Valve. To study operation of Linear Actuators.
