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.
Robotic welding is an increasingly popular tool used in industrial welding applications. Knowing how to program the robot is key. Explore how to improve your programming skills by using if-then-else, calls and unconditional jumps in this learning activity.
This interactive object is designed to help learners memorize the schematic symbols used in ladder logic diagrams. Learners quiz themselves using electronic flashcards.
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.
In this animated object, learners examine the operation of a multiplexer and the function of the data input and selector lines. A brief quiz completes the activity.
In this animated object, learners identify the basic parts and operation of a crank slider mechanism. They also follow the steps to use rotational input velocity to determine the linear output velocity of a slider component.
Op Amp Fundamentals: The Transconductance Amplifier
Students read an introduction to the transconductance amplifier. They also view formulas for voltage-to-current conversion, closed-loop input, and output impedance. An example of how R1 controls the conversion factor is given.
In this animated and interactive object, learners use rotational input velocity to determine the linear output velocity of a rocker or lever. Learners test their knowledge in an exercise at the end of the activity.
In this animated activity, learners examine how an adjustable pressure-reducing valve can produce a pressure that is lower at its output than at its input.
In this animated activity, learners view the input and output leads of a JK flip-flop. They also see how it functions in each mode of operation. A brief quiz completes the learning object.
