In this simulation activity, an electrician will troubleshoot an AC motor that is overheating. Before accessing blueprints and then using a multimeter to find the fault, the learner will follow safety protocols by following lock-out tag-out procedures and then suit up with appropriate (PPE) personal protection equipment.

In this animated object, learners examine how PLC up/down-counters are used to control an automated parking lot gate.

Learners examine the operation of five pneumatic animated circuits that use directional control valves, pilot lines, check valves, needle valves, and cylinders.

In this animated activity, learners study how a PLC performs a shift operation. The learning object covers data movement, data entry, PLC wiring, PLC shift register introductions, and programming for a paint can operation.

Learners examine the operation of a proportional control amplifier and the two ways that it is programmed using proportional gain or proportional band. A brief quiz completes the activity.

Learners examine the fundamental concepts of sequencer output instruction. A simulated example shows a sequencer in operation.

In this learning activity you'll read introduction to electrical quantities, units, and symbols and test their knowledge in a matching exercise.

In this animated object, learners examine the operation of a feed-forward control system and its advantages over a closed-loop system. A brief quiz completes the activity.

Explore repetition structures, which are commonly referred to as “Looping” statements, are a vital component of programming computer and industrial applications.

In this animated object, learners examine the hysteresis function of a sensor.

Identify the correct description of pseudocode if statements.

Learners examine the counter-reset function of a programmable controller and how it is used.

In this animated activity, learners examine how a voltage is induced into a conductor when the conductor cuts across magnetic flux lines. They also view the four factors that determine how much voltage is generated. A brief quiz completes the learning object.

In this animated activity, learners examine how the speed of a motor may change if the voltage from the power source fluctuates due to power line irregularities. This lesson has audio content.

Learners follow steps to calibrate a transmitter used in process control applications. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this interactive object, learners view various components of gears and read descriptions of them. Learners then identify the location of each of these components in a drag-and-drop exercise.

Explore repetition structures, which are commonly referred to as “Looping” statements, are a vital component of programming computer and industrial applications.

The learner views animation showing how a DC motor is wired and its operational characteristics. A short quiz completes the activity.

Learners examine a Filter-Regulator-Lubricator (FRL) unit that is used to prepare the air in a pneumatic system.

Learners study how a hydrocarbon gas sensor operates and why it is used. A short quiz completes the activity.

In this animated object, learners examine the types of information to enter, and the sequence of steps required, to program a programmable logic controller (PLC) timer.

Learners study the operation of the retro-reflective optical sensor, along with the guidelines that should be followed regarding the target size, reflector size, alignment, and the reflectivity of the target.

In this animated object, learners examine the switch settings for the on-delay, off-delay, and one-shot timing functions of an optical sensor. A brief quiz completes the activity.

Learners consider the factors that determine how well an inductive proximity sensor can detect an object. Those factors are size, position, and the material from which the target is made. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this colorful and animated activity, learners examine the four functions provided by a hydraulic reservoir. A brief quiz completes the learning object.
