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.

The learner will understand the operation and configuration of various types of PLC output modules and how they're used.

In this interactive and animated object, learners study how to wire field devices to a PLC sourcing input module. 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 animated object, learners examine the signals produced at the N.O. (normally open) and N.C. (normally closed) outputs of sourcing and sinking four-wire sensors. A brief quiz completes the activity.

Learners read a description of the DC offset function, the 50 ohm and 600 ohm output terminals, and the TTL/CMOS output terminal.

Understand pseudocode structure of Inputs and Outputs, a vital component of programming computer and industrial applications.

The learner will understand how to correctly wire a three-wire sinking and sourcing sensor.

In this animated object, learners examine how two- three- and four-wire sourcing and sinking sensors operate. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this animated object, learners examine the signals produced by sourcing and sinking two-wire sensors. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this animated activity, learners examine the three main segments of a hydraulic system: power supply, control, and output. A brief quiz completes the learning object.

In this animated object, learners examine the operation of a demultiplexer along with the data output and select 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.

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.

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

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.

Learners read how to use the knobs and the output terminals of a Wavetek Model 25 function generator to obtain a waveform at a desired frequency.

Learners view an animated explanation of why an adjustment of the output voltage by an AC drive is required to maintain a constant torque as the frequency is varied.

Learners study how a circuit converts the AC output of a linear voltage differential transformer (LVDT) into variable DC voltage. It is recommended that learners view the learning object IAU7807, “The LVDT: A Linear Voltage Differential Transformer in Action” before going through this object.
