Preface
Festo Didactic’s Learning System for Automation and Technology is orientated

towards different training and vocational requirements and is therefore structured
into the following training packages:
• Basic packages to provide technology-spanning basic knowledge
• Technology packages to address the major subjects of open and closed-loop
technology
• Function packages to explain the basic functions of automated systems
• Application packages to facilitate vocational and further training based on actual
industrial applications
The technology packages deal with the following technologies: Pneumatics,

electropneumatics, programmable logic controllers, automation using a personal
computer, hydraulics, electrohydraulics, proportional hydraulics and handling
technology.

Preface
The modular design of the learning system enables applications beyond the limits of
the individual packages. For example, to facilitate PLC actuation of pneumatic,
hydraulic and electrical drives.
All the training packages are of identical structure:

• Hardware
• Teachware
• Software
• Seminars
The hardware consists of didactically designed industrial components and systems.

The didactic, methodological design of the Teachware is harmonised with the
training hardware and comprises:
• Textbooks (with exercises and examples)
• Workbooks (with practical exercises, additional information, solutions and data
sheets)
• Overhead transparencies and videos (to create an interesting and lively training
environment)
Tuition and training media are available in several languages and are suitable for
use both in the classroom and for self-tuition.
Software is available in the form of computer training programs and programming
software for programmable logic controllers.
A comprehensive range of seminars dealing with the topics of the technology
packages completes the range of vocational and further training available.

Introduction
This workbook is a component part of the Learning System for Automation and
Technology of Festo Didactic GmbH & Co. KG. This system provides a solid basis for
practice-oriented vocational and further training. Technology package TP200 is
comprised exclusively of electropneumatic control systems.
Basic Level TP201 is suitable for basic training in electropneumatic control

technology and provides knowledge regarding the physical fundamentals of
electropneumatics and the function and use of electropneumatic equipment. The
equipment set enables you to construct simple electropneumatic control systems.
Advanced Level TP202 focuses on further training in electropneumatic control

technology. The two equipment sets enable you to construct complex combinational
circuits with logic operations of input and output signals and program controls.
Prerequisite for the assembly of control systems is a fixed workstation using a Festo
Didactic profile plate, consisting of 14 parallel T-slots with 50 mm spacing. A short-
circuit protected power supply unit (input: 230 V, 50 Hz, output: 24 V, max. 5 A) is
used for DC voltage supply. A mobile, silenced compressor (230 V, maximum 8 bar =
800 kPa) can be used for compressed air supply.
Working pressure must not exceed a maximum of p = 6 bar = 600 kPa.
Optimum operational reliability is achieved if the control system is operated

unlubricated at a working pressure of p = 5 bar = 500 kPa.
The equipment set of Basic Level TP201 is used to construct all of the complete
control systems of the 12 problem definitions. The theoretical fundamentals to help
you understand this collection of exercises can be found in the textbook
• Electropneumatics
Also available are data sheets in respect of the individual devices (cylinders, valves,
measuring devices, etc.).

Introduction

Notes on safety and operation
The following advice should be observed in the interest of your own safety:
• Pressurised air lines that become detached can cause accidents. Switch off
supply immediately.
• Do not switch on compressed air until tubing is securely connected.
• Caution!
Cylinders may advance automatically as soon as the compressed air is switched
on.
• Do not operate an electrical limit switch manually during fault finding (use a
tool).
• Observe general safety regulations.
• With electrical limit switches you need to distinguish between two designs
– Actuation from the left
– Actuation from the right.
• At high piston speeds, limit switches must be approached only in the designated
direction of the trip cam of the cylinder. Limit switches must not be actuated from
the front.
• Do not exceed the permissible working pressure (see data sheets).
• Only use extra-low voltage ≤ 24 V DC.
• All components are equipped with 4 mm safety sockets, i.e. jack plugs. Only use
cables with jack plugs for the electrical connections.
• Pneumatic circuit assembly:
Connect devices using the silver-metallic plastic tubing of 4mm outer diameter,
plugging the tubing into the push-in fitting up to the stop; no need for securing!
• Releasing of push-in fitting:
The tubing can be released by pressing down the releasing ring (disconnection
under pressure is not possible!)
• Switch off compressed air supply and power supply prior to dismantling the
circuit.

Notes on safety and operation
• The mounting plates of the devices are equipped with mounting variants A to D:
Variant A, latching system
For lightweight non loadable devices (e.g. directional control valves). Simply clip
the device into the slot in the profile plate. Devices can be released by pressing
the blue lever.
Variant B, rotary system
Medium weight loadable devices (e.g. actuators). These devices are clamped
onto the profile plate by means of T-head bolts. Clamping and releasing is
effected by means of the blue knurled nut.
Variant C, screw system
For heavy loadable devices rarely removed from the profile plate (e.g. Start-up
valve with filter control valve). These devices are mounted by means of socket
head screws and T-head bolts.
Variant D, plug-in system
Lightweight non loadable devices with locking pins (e.g. indicating devices).
These devices are attached by means of plug-in adapters.
• The data for the individual devices, as specified in the data sheets in Part D, must
be observed.

Technology package for electropneumatics (TP200)
The technology package TP200 consists of numerous individual training media as

well as seminars. The subject matter of this package is exclusively electropneumatic
control systems. Individual components from the technology package TP200 may
also form a component part of other packages.
