Objectives
Learn to apply pneumatic components, using algebraic logics and reckoning with their technological characteristics.
Therefore we pay attention to the construction of the pneumatic elements.
Subsequently, we accentuate various systematic solutions for pneumatic as well as electropneumatic problems and plans.
Finally the solutions which where theoretically discussed are put into practice in the lab.
There will also be referred to identical solutions with a PLC.
