This interactive object is designed to help learners memorize the schematic symbols used in ladder logic diagrams. Learners quiz themselves using electronic flashcards.

Learners will identify ladder logic diagrams and the logic functions they perform.

Learners examine how a ladder logic circuit becomes latched when a normally open pushbutton is momentarily pressed.

Learners examine the labeling scheme used in ladder logic diagrams to identify components, wires, rungs, and rails. This activity includes self-check questions.

Explore how to prevent injuries caused by falling from ladders or elevated heights by looking at the parts of a ladder, ladder safety rules, and personal fall protection systems.

In this learning activity you'll identify the voltage levels produced or recognized by digital logic devices as valid or invalid logic state signals.

Learners follow steps to trace logic signals from the inputs of several interconnecting logic gates to one output.

In this animated activity, learners examine the fundamental operation of a logic probe that is used to detect logic signals in a digital circuit.

This animated lesson shows how a photoelectric sensor, connected to a ladder circuit, causes the cylinder of a hydraulic circuit to extend and retract.

This animated lesson shows how pushing a start or stop button on a ladder circuit causes the cylinder of a hydraulic circuit to extend and retract.

This animated lesson shows how a ladder circuit causes the cylinder of a hydraulic circuit to continuously extend and retract after a Start button has been pressed.

Learners study the operation of a ladder circuit in which coils on one rung control contacts in other rungs.

In this animated object, learners study the operation of a ladder circuit that controls the rotational direction of a DC motor.

Students view the layout and operation of a digital logic probe.

In this animated object, learners examine how to use a programmable logic controller as an alternative to hardwiring a ladder logic circuit.

In this animated object, learners follow a process for troubleshooting digital integrated circuits on a printed circuit board using a logic probe.

Students read information about basic logic gates including the gates' names, symbols, Boolean expressions, pronunciations, and truth tables. They then complete a matching exercise.

The schematic symbols of logic gates used in digital circuits are shown.

Learners examine eight different kinds of faulty logic or perception that interfere with critical thinking. They are superstition, ignorance, clustering illusion, false analogies, gambler’s fallacy, irrelevant comparisons, post hoc fallacy, and slippery slope fallacy. In an interactive exercise, learners identify ways to overcome these barriers.

In this animated object, learners examine the design of a ladder circuit that provides manual control to a water pumping system. Students also study modifications to the circuit as the complexity of the system increases.
