 Sustainable qualification of engineers, technicians and skilled labour in the mining sector Festo – global player in Automation and Didactic

Since ancient times the produc-
tion of raw materials and min-
erals has been decisive for
developing and sustaining the
wealth of empires and nations.
Until today the names of states
are reminiscent of minerals and
raw materials that have been
discovered or produced there –
e.g. Argentine, Cyprus ...
The exploration and mining of
minerals is still the backbone of
energy production, of the manu-
facturing sector and of the pro-
cessing of industrial goods.
Against this background many
countries all over the world will
increase their efforts to produce,
process and recycle raw materi-
als. The key-technologies utilized
for those purposes require con-
siderable investment in tech-
nical equipment and human re-
sources. The engineering, opera-
tion and maintenance of mining
equipment is costly and often
very specific in terms of environ-
mental, climatical and technical
aspects.
As the biggest and most expen-
sive land-based machines are
applied in in the mining sector –
e.g. excavators, trucks and
dozers, conveyor belts, special
freight trains and special equip-
ment for underground mining –
safe operation and reliable main-
tenance are of high importance.
More than 16,000 people world-
wide are working towards inno-
vative solutions for various
segments. This reflects Festo’s
philosophy of full partnership
and close proximity to more
than 300,000 customers in over
200 industries, realised via 250
Festo locations and 59 national
Festo companies.

 The variety of Mining: Surface Mining and Underground Mining
Mining starts with the extraction
of raw materials, followed by
processing, refining and finally
recycling the materials.
Processing
Extracting
and refining
Recycling Using
Mining itself can be divided
into surface mining and under-
ground mining. Surface mining
is often applied in the produc-
tion of lignite, but also metal
ores can be hauled via surface
mining when the ore is near
under the surface. Underground
mining in general is more costly
and requires a high capital input
before the precious mineral can
be processed and marketed.

 Qualification and development of skilled labour
Technologies applied in the
Mining Sector 
Technologies applied in the
mining sector largely depend on
the nature of the ore deposit,
on the climate conditions and
on the type of the ores that are
extracted. In the recent dec-
ades the relevant mining tech-
nologies became more complex
as computer-based control and
monitoring systems have been
introduced, e.g. remote control
of machinery in underground
mining. Due to these changes
simple works formerly executed
by semi-skilled personnel has
been taken over by automatized
machines. Therefore modern
mining requires a highly skilled
and experienced workforce for
both operation and maintenance
of machinery.
In surface-mining as well as in
underground mining and in prep-
aration processes various tech-
nologies are applied.

The technologies in these fields
include:

Vocational training schemes
should be designed for the
technical and organizational
demands of the mining compa-
nies. Festo Didactic is a world-
wide experienced partner in all
aspects of technical vocational
education and training as well as
in further training for technicians
and engineers.
 Holistic training approach
Besides investment in infrastruc-
ture and machinery the imple-
mentation of a demand driven
human resources development
concept is necessary at an early
stage. Basic and further quali-
fication of the local workforce
should be a central element
to safely operate modern min-
ing equipment. Countries with-
out mining tradition could highly
benefit from the know-how avail-
able in countries with long-time
experience and profound exper-
tise in mining like Germany.

 Pneumatics training packages
Innovative and practical, right down to the smallest details
Modular for flexible expansion
Festo Didactic’s training packages
are modular in structure. For exam-
ple, you could start with the basic
level of electropneumatics and then
move onto the advanced level, or
start with the subject of electrohy-
draulics – the choice is yours. You’d
like to explore a particular special-
ised topic? All equipment set compo-
nents can also be ordered separate-
ly, so you can turn your own ideas
into reality.
12
Position it – clamp it – done!
With the Quick-Fix® mounting sys-
tem, you can mount all components
easily and securely on the profile
plate and the profile column of a
Learnline workstation. The electrical
units are clamped into the ER frame
and sequenced individually. The pro-
file slots on the workstations are the
same for all pneumatic, hydraulic
and electrical units – a single invest-
ment, with double the functionality.
Everything where you want it –
systematic storage
Most equipment sets are delivered
in practical, Systainer-compatible
equipment trays. This equipment
tray fits in the drawers of the work-
stations. The large pictogram on the
components, designed in accordance
with the latest standards, provides
clear instructions for connecting the
components and ensures short prep-
aration and follow-up times. When
dismantling circuits, you can quickly
and easily locate where the compo-
nent goes in the equipment tray.
Connect it – power!
No compromise on safety: all electri-
cal components and units are con-
nected with 4 mm safety sockets or
safety plugs. The pneumatic power is
supplied by the connection of highly
flexible plastic tubing to the Quick
Star (QS) push-in fitting. The system
therefore requires virtually no con-
sumables or tools.
Your choice of training environment
User-friendly training environments
for specific topic areas:
–– Self-study phases with the training
programs
–– Designing and documentation with
FluidSIM®
–– Practical implementation with the
training packages and the exercis-
es in the workbooks
–– Functional testing and optimisation
with measurement technology and
FluidLab®
Advanced courses made easy
New developments and trends in
fluid engineering can be incorporat-
ed directly into our learning systems.
New control systems can be integrat-
ed into the learning system using the
EduTrainer® concept. Basic packages
can be easily expanded to include
the subjects “Pneumatics measure-
ment and control TP 210” or the new
“Vacuum technology TP 230”.
Pneumatics in the mining sector
Pneumatics is very often applied
in mines with a high explosion risk,
e.g. coal-mines. Lifting devices are
operated by pneumatics as well as
track switches of conveyor belts,
ventilation gates and numerous
pneumatic tools.
TP 230 Vacuum technology
Handling workpieces with suction
grippers has become an indispensa-
ble part of handling technology. It of-
fers advantages such as the simple
configuration of suction grippers and
gentle handling of workpieces while
also enabling rapid cycle times, and
the capital outlay required is com-
paratively low. The training package
TP 230 expands the contents of
TP 201 to include the key area of
vacuum technology.
TP 250 Safety in pneumatic systems
Function, efficiency and above all
safety determine the success of plant
machinery and automated systems.
New directives and laws require in-
telligent solutions and raise the level
of professional skills required. The
systematic optimisation of a simple
pneumatic system helps to identify
hazards in pneumatic processes.
The appropriate actions to reduce
the risk can be implemented in a pro-
fessional manner.

 Hydraulics training packages
Tailored training in industrial and mobile hydraulics

Hydraulics in the mining sector

Hydraulics is one of the key-tech-

nologies in mining. Numerous ap-
plication underground as well as in
surface mining ensure smooth and
reliable operations, e.g. in loaders
and dozers (mobile hydraulics), lift-
ing devices, stabilizing of machinery
underground and assembling of sup-
port systems. Qualified maintenance
is most important for safety and du-
rability.

Modular for flexible expansion

Festo Didactic’s training packages

are modular in structure. For exam-
ple, you could start with the basic
level of electrohydraulics and then
move onto the advanced level. Or are
you more interested in electropneu-
matics? The choice is yours. You’d
like to explore a particular special-
ised topic? All equipment set compo-
nents can also be ordered separate-
ly, so you can turn your own ideas
into reality.
Position it – clamp it – done!
With the Quick-Fix® mounting sys-
tem, you can mount all components
easily and securely on the profile
plate or on the profile column of a
Learnline workstation. The electrical
units are clamped into the ER frame
and sequenced individually. The sup-
ports and the electrical units are the
same for both hydraulics and pneu-
matics – a single investment, with
double the functionality.
Everything where you want it –
systematic storage
Most equipment sets are delivered
in practical, Systainer-compatible
equipment trays. This equipment
tray fits in the drawers of the work-
stations. The large pictogram on the
components, designed in accordance
with the latest standards, provides
clear instructions for connecting the
components and ensures short prep-
aration and follow-up times. When
dismantling circuits, you can quickly
and easily locate where the compo-
nent goes in the equipment tray.
Connect it – power!
Hydraulic power is supplied by the
tool-free connection of low-leakage
couplings – the latest generation in
high-grade stainless steel. The cou-
pling is self-sealing when uncoupled.
During the low-friction coupling pro-
cedure, only the front surface is coat-
ed with oil, which saves resources, is
easy on the environment, and reduc-
es contamination.
Your choice of training environment
User-friendly training environments
for specific topic areas:
–– Self-study phases with the training

FluidLab®
Quality not quantity!
Bigger is not necessarily better. Vol-
umetric flow rates and pressures
should be chosen with care and in
co-ordination with the system as a
whole. This applies especially to hy-
draulic training systems. High forc-
es and cylinder speeds not only in-
crease the danger for the user, but
also require a larger hydraulic power
pack with higher power consump-
tion. So our offer is: as large as nec-
essary and as small as possible,
without compromising on teaching
effectiveness.
New technologies – new skills
needed
Modern measurement and diagnos-
tic technology and cartridge valves
are among the international trends in
hydraulics. So you’ll find those tech-
nologies in our learning systems as
well. Benefit from the compact, inte-
grated design, the low weight, ease
of handling, and easy-to-read sym-
bol system.
Mobile hydraulics
The new training packages for mo-
bile hydraulics systematically and
informatively explore complex topics
and systems, such as work hydrau-
lics, hydrostatic steering and drive
systems for the agricultural, forestry
and construction vehicle sectors and
warehouse and municipal vehicles.

 Electrical engineering training packages
Modern and exciting training

Electrical engineering in the

mining sector

Transportation equipment, lifting

devices, bucket excavators and many
other machines are driven and con-
troled by motors. Electrical power is
the main source of energy in mines
of any kind. Therefore the standards
in terms of reliable energy supply,
distribution and safety are extreme-
ly high.

Single source: Equipment for

electrical engineering and electrical
laboratory

The learning system for automation

technology is now more comprehen-
sive than ever before. With the ba-
sic principles of electrical engineer-
ing and electronics, from Ohm’s Law
through to the complex knowledge
and applications involved in drive
and control technology, the learning
system now covers most of the top-
ics included in forward-looking ba-
sic and advanced training courses in
automation.
Rapid transfer
Whether in initial professional train-
ing or more advanced courses: It is
essential to be able to recall what
has been learned and apply it im-
mediately. This is easier to do if the
worlds of learning and work are as
similar as possible. That is why the
training packages for electrical engi-
neering only contain industrial com-
ponents, and the exercises in the
course documents come from a typi-
cal, professional environment.
Maximum compatibility
Electrical engineering and electron-
ics are fundamental components of
automation. These training pack-
ages can therefore be used where
mechatronics or bus technology are
involved.
–– 4 mm safety sockets and SysLink
guarantee “electrical compatibility”
–– A new standard coupling ensures
that motors and driven elements
are universally compatible
–– H-rails and housing dimensions
allow components from other man-
ufacturers to be used
Useful modularity
The training packages for electrical
engineering training packages are
expandable. For example, they begin
with electrical protective measures
and a domestic connection. Later,
they add the starter kit for sub-distri-
bution and the topic of building auto-
mation. This modularity has a further
benefit: each training device is small-
er, more portable and can be housed
in a cabinet more easily.
Safe connection technology
When it comes to dealing with elec-
tricity, safety and protective meas-
ures are a key focus. Of course, all of
our electrical connections are fitted
with safety sockets or plugs.
–– The plug-in modules of the equip-
ment set for the basic principles of
electrical engineering/electronics
–– Power supply units and power sup-
plies
–– Back plates and EduTrainer®
Combination with self-study
Education in schools, companies or
university cannot be successful with-
out a willingness to do self-study.
That is why the appropriate WBTs are
available for all topics. Our range of
digital training programs provides
exciting learning scenarios and sup-
plements the classroom-based parts
of a course. The WBTs are particular-
ly well suited for teaching the basic
principles and thus provide the op-
timum supplement to practical ex-
periments.
Mobile solution
Anyone who wants to design varied
teaching and personal learning con-
cepts requires flexible and modular
training systems. That is why most
of the equipment sets from Festo
Didactic are compatible with the
practical and mobile Systainers. This
makes storage and transportation
easier and supports flexible working.

 Automation technology/PLC training packages
From buttons to automation solutions

Automation technology in the

mining sector

Many processes in mining and ore

preparation are automatized, e.g.
transportation systems, ventilation
and control of filling and flow levels.
Numerous different sensors, actua-
tors, displays and other instruments
are applied. In many cases opera-
tions are remote-controlled with cam-
era systems and computers. Commis-
sioning, operation and maintenance
of automazed system requires practi-
cal training systems and state-of-the-
art facilities.

Control system, Process, Didactics

Forward-looking training is ultimate-

ly all about reliable and efficient au-
tomation of production processes.
–– Automation systems must cor-
respond to those in future work-
places
–– Processes must be as close as
possible to those used in actual
production
–– The training content and methods
must lead to expertise, which fu-
ture specialist staff can use to se-
cure their and their companies’
future.
EduTrainer® Universal
–– The universal holder system with
control systems, power supply unit
and simulations
–– Alternative connections for 4 mm
and SysLink

al control system for fluid engineer-
ing laboratories and has proven itself
worldwide.
SCE Trainer Packages
As a certified Siemens Solution Part-
ner Automation and Siemens SCE
Partner we recommend the “First
Choice” Siemens automation tech-
nology.
The SCE Trainer Packages offer
crucial advantages for classroom
equipment.

We recommend CoDeSys as an IEC
61131-3 compatible programming
system for the Festo CPX range of
controllers.
–– Flexible and open for all kinds of
control tasks
–– Very simple to commission and
program
–– Ethernet communication for simple
programming with module library
Note: With an OPC interface, CoDe­
Sys is suitable for controlling the
processes in CIROS® and thus for
purely PC-based training in program-
ming.
LOGO!, Operation and monitoring
Electrical engineering laboratories
are equipped with mounting frames
and training devices in A4 format as
standard. Training devices, e.g. with
LOGO! or touch panel from Siemens,
supplement your electrical labora-
tory:
–– Small and large LOGO! configura-
tions
–– TP700 und KTP600 – the touch
panel for training and professional
applications
Equipment sets for your course
Having the correct and practically
relevant automation equipment is
important. However, it is the right
concepts, processes and exercises
that really give your equipment the
critical added value. This is what our
equipment sets and their course doc-
uments provide:
–– The TP 1311 clarifies the use of
sensors in automation
–– The TP 301 makes the leap from
electropneumatics into PLC tech-
nology
–– The TP 401 and 402 provide a
practical introduction to the world
of fieldbuses
Terminal, 4 mm and SysLink
Requirements for connection tech-
nology can differ greatly. The Edu-
Trainer® for PLC training meets all
of them:
–– 4 mm safety sockets are correct
if the circuit diagram is to lead into
the controller configuration
–– SubD or Centronics for complex
circuits or if the correct wiring is no
longer the key focus

 Water – Bulk materials – Ore preparation – Energy
Training in process automation

Process automation in the mining

sector

Other technical core issues in mining

are the distribution of water and en-
ergy, storage and transportation of
bulk materials under high tempera-
ture differences and the preparation
of ores. These kind of processes can
only be mastered by skilled opera-
tors and engineers well aware of the
technological and environmental
parameters.

Modularity and integration

in MPS® PA

The MPS® PA would not deserve its

name if it was not actually a system
with modular equipment for basic
and advanced training in process
automation. In the MPS® PA you will
find simple systems for introducing
measuring technology and closed-
loop control, as well as systems for
the designated target groups.

The great thing about it is that all
systems are compatible and sup-
plement one another, and they are
100% compatible with all other com-
ponents of the modular production
system.
–– Start with the EduKit PA
–– Set complex exercises with the
MPS® PA Compact Workstation
–– Enjoy the variability of the MPS®
PA stations
–– Design sophisticated projects with
the PA 204 complete MPS® system
or a hybrid learning factory
Learning software:
Supporting every stage of learning
The ideal system for anyone focused
on processes and automation: How
does a filling system for lemonade
work? And what needs to be taken
into account when designing and
constructing this kind of system?
These and other questions in the
area of process automation are an-
swered by the Basic principles of
process automation self-study pro-
gram. This could be used right at the
beginning of a series of courses and
provides a motivating introduction
to the process industry in general
schools.
Energy efficiency:
Today’s issues for tomorrow’s world
Control engineering is not simply a
topic in a list of learning objectives in
automation technology. Without con-
trol, there is no chance of increas-
ing efficiency, no chance of prevent-
ing energy from being wasted and no
sustainability.
This is why the MPS® PA includes
modern performance measurement
components. This enables energy
efficiency to be clearly represent-
ed and put into an interdisciplinary
context.
EduKit PA:
Introductory projects
The EduKit PA is ideally suited for
small budgets, restricted space or an
initial introduction to measuring tech-
nology and closed-loop control. The
interaction of technology, software
and structured teachware fits seam-
lessly into both professional training
and general technical training.
MPS® PA Compact Workstation:
All processes in one system
Anyone who is looking for more
than one control loop to provide the
greatest possible variety of industrial
training, will find the perfect solution
in the MPS® PA Compact Worksta-
tion. Its minimal size provides:
–– Industrial measurement, open- and
closed-loop control
–– 4 basic control loops
–– Leaning scenarios for automation
(sensor technology, PLC, operation
and monitoring) based on continu-
ous processes
–– Compact, state of the art industrial
technology
4 processes:
Individual or in combination
One control loop may perhaps be
sufficient for basic teaching in meas-
urement and control engineering
for the chemical and water sectors.
The stations of the MPS® PA provide
a single control loop with learning
content from all process engineer-
ing areas.
If a variety of typical control loops is
important, simply combine the sta-
tions into a small-scale process engi-
neering learning factory.
