Classic Control

This course is designed to provide participants with a thorough understanding of classic control circuits, which are fundamental to many industrial automation and electrical control systems. Whether you're a beginner or someone seeking to refresh your knowledge, this course offers a practical and theoretical foundation essential for working in control system environments.

Participants will begin by exploring the core components of control circuits, including relays, contactors, switches, push buttons, overload relays, and more. Through structured lessons and guided simulations, learners will learn how to interpret, design, and analyze classic control circuits used in real-world industrial settings. Simulation tools such as EKTS or similar platforms will be utilized to allow learners to design, test, and troubleshoot circuits in a safe, virtual environment, reinforcing theoretical concepts through hands-on application.

A major part of the course is dedicated to understanding motor control methods. Students will examine direct-on-line starting, star-delta starting, reversing, braking, and two-speed motor control techniques, and learn how to implement these methods using standard control circuit configurations.

Timers play a critical role in control logic, and this course covers various types of timers such as ON-delay, OFF-delay, interval, and cyclic timers. Learners will explore how these devices influence the sequence and operation of control systems.

Additionally, the course introduces industrial sensors—such as inductive, capacitive, photoelectric, and thermal sensors—and their applications in automation systems. Electrical protection methods, especially those related to motor operation and safety, are also thoroughly addressed, ensuring learners understand both functionality and protection in system design.

By the end of this course, participants will have the confidence and capability to work with classic control systems in both design and troubleshooting roles.
