platform, based on a unique
training program

The Electric Power Technology


Training Program from Festo
Didactic answers the increasingly
diversified needs for training in the
wide field of electrical energy.

The program combines hardware,


software, and courseware content
aimed at maximizing learning and
experimentation. Workbooks and
preset systems offer predefined
learning paths, but modularity
enables instructors to create a
tailored solution that matches
specific requirements.

This product family was added


to the learning solutions portfo-

US-Canadian company LabVolt.
It is commonly referred to as the
8010 systems from the LabVolt
Series.

An evolving educational approach for electrical engineering training

The modular design of the training packages allows instructors to build a


learning solution customized to their training requirements and budget,
while still compatible with future expansion options.

This tremendous flexibility enables the equipment sets to be expanded


gradually, over time, while the hardware itself is durable enough to with-
stand the rigors of hands-on training. Computer-based tools also elimi-
nate the need for purchasing and replacing actual equipment, the overall
achievement being a cost-efficient, high return on investment.

Festo Didactic regularly releases new hardware and workbooks, ensuring


that the EMS remains an evolving, state-of-the-art learning platform, and
the benchmark for electrical engineering education.

CE marking
EU directives define minimum stan-
dards for various product groups
which products are required to com-
ply with. The characteristics are en-
tirely different depending on the
product group.

Manufacturers use the CE marking


to confirm that the device complies
with all relevant EU directives. This is
confirmed by applying correspond-
ing standards. Devices which do not
fulfil the required directives may not
bear the CE marking. The market

The following EU directives are rel-


evant for CE marking of frequency
converters:
– Low Voltage Directive
(2006/95/EC)
– EMC (2014/30/EU)
– RoHS (2011/65/EU)
