Learners examine how a linear displacement transducer is used to measure the linear position of a physical object. Animations show the sequential steps of the entire operation.
In this animated object, learners examine the fundamental operation of a diac including how it is turned on and turned off. A brief quiz completes the activity.
Learners study the method of using more than one track and quadrature modes to improve the resolution of an optical encoder. A brief quiz completes the activity.
Learners examine the sourcing and sinking of conventional current at a PLC output module and the type of field device to which it is connected. This interactive learning object includes six quiz questions.
In this animated and interactive object, learners use a memory device to identify NPN and PNP transistors. Learners also examine how much the transistors turn on when the voltage applied to the base is varied.
Learners examine the conventional current flow at a PLC input module, along with the field devices connected to it. This interactive object includes quiz questions and feedback.
The Multiplexer/Demultiplexer IC Data Transfer Circuit
In this animated activity, the learner examines how a 74150 IC multiplexer and a 74154 IC demultiplexer work together when their data select lines are connected to the same input devices.
