Festo – The partner to the

process industry
Festo is fast becoming a key part-

ner to the process industry. It is only
logical that the process automation
learning system benefits from this
know-how and is tailored to the re-
quirements of different industries

Why stop production to facilitate

training?
It is prohibitively expensive to shut

down an industrial system to facili-
tate training. Comprehensive train-
ing in the individual areas of process
automation requires industry-ori-
ented model systems or training in-
stallations. „Learning by doing“ and
„process orientation“ are two princi-
ples that are central to the success-
ful imparting of the many detailed
training aims in process technology.
Simulation of a process engineering
system on a PC provides the oppor-
tunity of using a simulation as an ac-
tual training system.

Filtration station
Function
The filtration station filters liquids.

The filtrate is pumped from the first
tank into the second tank through
the filter using a knife gate. The fil-
tered liquid reaches the second tank
via a butterfly valve with pneumatic
semi-rotary drive. The filtered liquid
can be pumped onwards to the next
station using a separate pump. The
filter can be rinsed using a rinse pro-
gram. Regulated compressed air is
additionally blown through the filter
to loosen deposits.

Mixing station
Function
The mixing station mixes different

recipes from three reservoir tanks.
The liquid from one of the three
reservoir tanks is pumped into the
main tank in a controlled manner by
opening the respective two-way ball
valve. The finished mixture can be
pumped to the next station via a sec-
ond pump – or pumped back to the
reservoir tank.

amount of space you have available
but you want each of your training
workstations to offer a high level of
complexity. If so then the Compact
Workstation with four integrated
closed-loop control systems is the
solution for you. As shown in the
flow chart, the individual control sys-
tems can be activated by simply re-
positioning the ball valves. The flex-
ible piping system enables you to
change the flow scheme or integrate
other components quickly and easily.
Function
The four control systems in the Com-

pact Workstation can be operated
individually. The level and flow rate
control systems can be structured as
a cascade control system through the
addition of an appropriate controller.
The layout of the sensors and servo

drives permits experimentation with
both continuous (e.g. P, I, PI, PID) and
discontinuous action controller types
(e.g. 2-point controllers). The pump
can either be controlled directly or
operated in controlled speed mode.
The manipulated variable of the con-

troller in the flow rate and pressure
control systems can alternatively act
upon a proportional directional con-
trol valve. A ball valve with pneu-
matic drive is built into the return
between the high-level container
and the lower reservoir. The pneu-
matic drive can be used to simulate a
“load” for switching on a disturbance
in the level control system or as an
on-off valve for emergency switch-off.

MPS® an interesting proposition for

This means that the system can be
