Sequencer Output Instruction for the SLC-500 PLC
By Craig Hemken
Learners examine the fundamental concepts of sequencer output instruction. A simulated example shows a sequencer in operation.
How Material Condition Modifiers Affect Geometric Tolerances
By Janet Braun
This activity will review determining geometric tolerances for a part.
Proportional Control Amplifier
By Terry Bartelt
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.
PLC Shift Registers
By Terry Bartelt, Tom Yapp
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.
Sine Wave Fundamentals
Learners examine the characteristics of a sine wave and the various ways to describe it including Vp, Vp-p, Vrms, Vavg, and frequency.
Simple Pneumatic Circuits
Learners examine the operation of five pneumatic animated circuits that use directional control valves, pilot lines, check valves, needle valves, and cylinders.
Up/Down-Counter Application
In this animated object, learners examine how PLC up/down-counters are used to control an automated parking lot gate.
Troubleshooting a Three Phase Motor that is Overheating
By Excelsior College
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.
