Fluid power e-learning guide
First Quarter 2008
Other technologies
A new online training experience, GUIDE Training Online, has been launched by Sauer-Danfoss. The extensive tutorial covers the company’s Plus+1 GUIDE application software. Designed to make e-learning available to anyone, anywhere, at any time, GUIDE Training Online is a self-guided, self-paced online tutorial experience with intuitive navigational features.
GUIDE (graphical user integrated development environment) is designed for use with Sauer-Danfoss Plus+1 microcontrollers, I/O modules and an ever broadening range of Plus+1 compliant components including pumps, motors, valves, joysticks and graphical terminals.
GUIDE has been evolving and growing since the introduction of Plus+1 in 2004. Putting the tutorial online creates a mechanism to efficiently update the information available for customers and prospective customers. Since GUIDE Training Online course structure allows a user to interact with GUIDE learning from simple informational material to actual hands-on programming, it is a very sophisticated supplement for classroom training.
The GUIDE e-learning experience consists of four parts: Introduction, Programming, Advanced Programming and vLabs (virtual labs). The modules encapsulate the material presented in Sauer-Danfoss’ four-day instructor-led training course. Students who have actually purchased a GUIDE licence and starter kit of related hardware components and materials can use their own hardware as an aid for learning. As an alternative, the vLabs feature of GUIDE Training Online allows students to do actual programming and save files without purchase of hardware or a GUIDE licence.
To maximise the potential for learning, GUIDE Training Online takes training from hypothetical to actual hands-on experience. It is also useful when students are unable to arrange to regularly attend in-class training or for occasional users who want to be refreshed and update their skills.
GUIDE Training Online is a new way to learn how to develop electro-hydraulic control system applications and is a tangible example of Sauer-Danfoss’ commitment to educating people about mobile hydraulics.
