Troubleshooting & Fault Finding Closed Loop Systems

By the end of this curriculum, learners will be able to:

• Explain the Function of Closed-Loop Systems
  Demonstrate a clear understanding of how closed-loop control systems operate, including the role of feedback, setpoints, and automatic adjustments.
• Identify and Describe Industrial Components
  Accurately identify a wide range of electrical and mechanical components commonly used in industrial automation, such as sensors, actuators, PLCs, and HMIs.
• Interpret System Behaviour and Diagnose Faults
  Analyse system responses to identify abnormal conditions, isolate faults, and determine appropriate corrective actions using a structured fault-finding approach.
• Understand Component Interaction within a System
  Explain how individual components interact to maintain process stability and control, with a focus on flow regulation, safety interlocks, and sensor integration.
• Apply Practical Maintenance and Troubleshooting Skills
  Gain hands-on experience simulating real-world scenarios, using diagnostic tools, interpreting system feedback, and applying safe, effective maintenance practices.
• Develop Confidence in Industrial Maintenance Tasks
  Build competence and confidence in performing system inspections, interpreting visual indicators, and using HMIs and PLC I/O feedback to
  guide decision-making
