Preface In the foreword in the textbook, it is stated that the material requires the student’s understanding of basic elementary electricity. However, in some areas or under some conditions, the student may not have had a sufficient background. It, therefore, may be advisable for the instructor to have a brief review of elementary electricity. For the instructor to determine if such a review is indicated, one effective method is suggested. This is a pretest given to the students on the first class day. From the results of this test, the instructor can determine how rapidly the textbook material can be started. See the Appendix in this manual for the Pre-test and Pre-test answers. Even if the instructor has determined that the elementary electricity is not necessary for a given class, it will not be time wasted to briefly review some of the high spots of this material. Such items as the DC generator, electromagnetism, generation of AC, single and three phase, and the transformer are of particular importance. The ideas given thus far are offered only as suggestions. They are not intended to disrupt or replace any given and proven class instruction method. For all the chapters in the textbook, a brief summary is given of the material to be covered and suggestions are made on how to cover the material. At the close of each class session, assignments should be made to study the next chapter. Also the student should answer the Achievement Review questions and hand them in at the next class session. As a suggestion, all the Achievement Review questions plus those added in the Instructor’s Manual can be typed, one question each of 4" 3 5" cards. At the start of each class period, these cards with questions from the last class period material, can be passed out at random. This will give each student a different question for a 10 minute quiz. For each chapter the instructor can select from approximately 30 questions. One of the problems that an instructor often faces is in determining if the material presented in class and studied by the student is thoroughly understood. There may be a few students who have problems but will not ask questions. There may be at least two avenues open to the instructor: 1. Observe the student in the classroom. 2. Check home assignments and daily quiz results. In cases where a problem is evident, the instructor can: 1. Devote extra time explaining the material. 2. Provide individual counseling. Many of the questions can be answered directly from the material in the textbook. However, there may be a few open-ended questions that call on the students to express their conclusions.

Transformers and Power Supplies

As transformers are used in practically every electrical control system, the instructor may find it advisable to provide a brief review of transformers. For example: An alternating current flowing through a coil generates an alternating magnetic field around the coil. If this alternating magnetic field cuts through the turns of a second coil, an AC voltage is induced in the second coil, just as voltage is induced in a coil cut by its own magnetic field. This action of generating a voltage is called transformer action. In transformer action, electrical energy is transferred from one coil, called the primary to another coil, called the secondary, by means of a varying magnetic field. 1. Control Transformers. Be sure the students understand “turns ratio” and series-parallel connections. 2. Transformer Regulation. Go through several examples of calculations for transformer regulation. 3. Temperature Rise in a Transformer. Bring out the cause of temperature rise and the problem with frequency. 4. Operating Transformers in Parallel. Note the importance of voltage and frequency when operating transformers in parallel. 5. Constant Voltage Regulators (CVR). Discuss the general design of a constant voltage regulator. 6. Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS). Note the importance of UPS in industry where the utility power supply is often less than perfect.

Control Units for Switching and Communication

1. Oil-Tight Units, Push-Button Switches, Selector Switches, Pilot or Indicating Lights. Show and explain the electrical symbols for a selector switch. Show and explain the circuit for a push-to-test pilot light. (See Textbook Figure 3-20A.) 2. Circuit Applications. This is the start of schematic circuit diagrams so the student should get a good picture of general format that will continue through most of the textbook. 3. Annunciators. Explain the need for annunciation. 4. Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Explain their use in visual communication and troubleshooting. (See Textbook Figure 3-32.) Emphasis in this chapter should be placed on communication. Communication can be accomplished in several ways: Conditions of electrical signals (present or absent), through the opening or closing of switch contacts. The transfer of signals through solid-state elements. The indication of the conditions of a circuit through the use of pilot lights, LEDs, and annunciators. Membrane switches have many uses. This not only includes industry but many uses in home appliances. The student should have a clear picture of their functions. Visual communication is accomplished through the use of pilot lights or indicating lights, annunciators, and LEDs. The LED (light-emitting diode) is used extensively. The basic design with the use of a current-limiting resistor should be explained. Although only a brief reference to circuit numbers is made in Chapter 3, the instructor should impress on the class the importance of these numbers. From this point on, as each new chapter is studied, a new component will be added, so the follow-through with circuit numbers should be stressed. Be sure they understand that the complete drawing line for the return of control power for a push-to-test pilot light is not required, only indicated by 1 A. This will be noted both at the lamp and the fuse. If many pilot lights are used, drawing all the connecting lines would only clutter the drawing.

8. When the pilot light lens is depressed (operated), it mechanically operates the contact block. The n ormally closed contacts open and the normally open contacts close. The normally closed contacts are connected to the control circuit. The normally open contacts are connected directly to a source of 120 volts. Thus, when the lens is depressed (operated), the pilot light transformer primary is connected directly across 120 volts. Six volts are now applied to the bulb.

Relays

At this point in the electrical control course, it is important for the instructor to start stressing elementary control circuits. The ability of the student to both read and draw elementary control circuits can be of tremendous help. Although circuit format will change with solid state and PLCs, the concept of logically following through a circuit and knowing why each step is taken is important to a student’s understanding of control. The student should now know from the first three chapters that the source of control power comes from a three-phase power line through a single-phase, isolated, secondary control transformer for 120 VAC control. A power supply is required to obtain 24 VDC control. Therefore, in drawing electromechanical control circuits from this point on, the student can omit the power circuit and transformer and show only the two vertically spaced lines to represent the control power source. Each circuit should be neatly drawn with proper circuit numbers in place. Also be sure that the student knows that this type of circuit is known as a ladder diagram. Ladder diagrams will be used extensively throughout the course. In some cases, the instructor may choose to pass over these simple ladder diagrams as shown in Chapter 4. However, do not let the student become complacent about ladder diagrams. Later, as the diagrams become more complex, the student who has not mastered the simple circuits will be lost in the more complex circuits. This is generally a matter of self-discipline. 1. Control Relays and Their Uses. Be sure that the student understands the difference between in rush current and sealed current in a relay. Also pick-up and drop-out voltage. 2. Timing Relays. The contact symbols for the timing relay can be confusing. Use one of each symbol in a circuit to demonstrate its function. 3. Latching Relays. Develop a circuit showing the use of the latching relay. Explain how the contacts remain in their operated condition after the latch coil is de-energized. 4. Plug-In Relays. Go through the advantages of using the plug-in relay where changes are anticipated or down-time is at a premium. 5. Contactors. Using a contactor, design and show a circuit that could be used in controlling a heating load.

ACHIEVEMENT REVIEW ANSWERS 1. When the relay coil is energized, the plunger is in an out position. Due to the open gap in the magnetic path or circuit, the initial current in the coil is high. The current level at this time is known as inrush current. As the plunger moves into the coil, closing the gap, the current drops to a lower value. This lower value is known as holding or sealed current. 2. a. Inrush or make contact capacity b. Normal or continuous carrying capacity c. The opening or break capacity 3. Contact wipe results from relative motion of the two contact surfaces after they make contact. When contacts bounce, they open momentarily. This may cause the loss of seal-in with a memory circuit. 4.

9. The latching relay is electromechanically operated and is held operated by means of a mechanical latch. By energizing the coil of the relay (called the latch coil), the relay operates. This results in the normally open contacts closing and the normally closed contacts opening. The electrical energy can now be removed from the coil of the relay and the contacts remain in their operated condition. It now requires that a second coil on the relay (called the unlatch coil) be energized to return the contacts to their unoperated condition. 10. Generally, the contactor is supplied in 2-, 3-, or 4-pole arrangements. Current-carrying capacity is in the range of 9 A through approximately 2250 A. 11.

Solenoids

1. Solenoid Action. Be sure the student knows the difference between inrush and holding current. Cover pull of solenoids and duty cycle of the work load. 2. Circuit Applications. Go through a circuit with the students, using solenoids and fluid power diagrams. 3. Proportional Valves. Using the diagram shown in Textbook Figure 5-14, explain how current varies to determine solenoid force with spool movement in one direction only. 4. Servo Valves. Using the diagram in Textbook Figure 5-16, explain to students how they are used for high-performance, closed-loop control. Explain how the force motor operates, linear force/current relationship, and reversing direction of current. Additional and more detailed information is supplied to the instructor in explaining the construction and operation of solenoids. As solenoids are used extensively in industry, it is important that the student has a thorough understanding of how and why the plunger moves within the solenoid coil. With present advanced technology and the increasing use of DC solenoids, it is important to know the difference between AC and DC solenoids. The following information is supplied through the courtesy of Vickers, Inc. Solenoid Operation. In an electrically operated valve, the electrical energy fed into the valve is converted into mechanical energy in order to move the valve spool. The component that carries out this conversion is known as a solenoid and can be operated by either an AC or DC supply. Two types of solenoid construction have been used in recent years. The older air-gap type, however, is now being replaced by the wet-armature arrangement. Air-gap Solenoids. An air-gap solenoid consists of a coil wound onto a former and surrounded by a laminated iron frame. The purpose of the frame is to concentrate and hence strengthen the magnetic field produced by the coil, the laminations reducing losses caused by eddy currents. The solenoid is fitted with a plunger or armature in the center of the coil, which connects to the end of the spool by means of a push pin. When the solenoid is de-energized, the plunger is pushed out of the coil slightly (by the spool springs), creating an air gap between the plunger and frame. Energizing the coil creates a magnetic field that is concentrated in the frame and plunger. Since iron is a considerably better magnetic conductor than air, the magnetic field pulls the armature into the coil, thereby closing the air gap and completing the magnetic circuit. As the plunger is pulled into the coil, the push pin moves the spool across the valve body to operate the valve. The major drawback with the air-gap solenoid is that an O-ring seal is required on the push pin to seal the tank chamber of the valve from the solenoid. Being a dynamic seal, the O-ring is prone to wear or damage, which will then allow hydraulic fluid to leak from the valve. Wet-Armature Solenoids. To overcome the problem of push pin seal leakage, later types of solenoids have the armature and push pin immersed in fluid and enclosed inside a core tube. As with the air-gap solenoid, when the coil is energized, the armature is pulled into the coil and makes contact with the pole piece to complete the magnetic circuit. Since the armature and push pin are immersed in fluid, there are now no dynamic seals to cause leakage. The core tube is actually manufactured from two different types of material such that the magnetic field passes freely through the core tube at the ends but is concentrated in the armature and pole piece in the center. DC Solenoids. A solenoid coil will possess both resistance and inductance. The effect of inductance in a DC circuit is to delay the rise of current when the supply is switched on. Energizing a DC solenoid, therefore, produces a gradual rise in solenoid current up to its maximum value. The maximum current is determined purely from the applied voltage and coil resistance (Imax 5 V/R), which means that even if the valve spool has stuck and the armature does not pull in, the solenoid current will not exceed its normal maximum value. 15

Chapter Outlines and Achievement Review Answers

AC Solenoids. Applying an AC voltage to a solenoid produces a varying current and magnetic field and hence a varying solenoid force. When the solenoid current is at a maximum (in either direction), the solenoid force will also be at a maximum. As the current passes through zero, the solenoid force will drop, which tends to cause a chattering effect as the spool springs attempt to push the armature back. To reduce the chatter, a copper ring, known as a shading ring is incorporated in the face of the pole piece. The magnetic force produced by the coil passes through the shading ring and induces a secondary current in the ring. The shading ring is in effect a single turn coil of very low resistance so the induced current will be very high and almost exactly 90 degrees out of phase with the solenoid coil current. This secondary current will therefore tend to sustain the magnetic field as the current in the main coil passes through zero and thereby reduces solenoid chatter. The value of the current in an AC coil is determined by the applied voltage and the coil impedance (I 5 V/ Z). The coil impedance is predominantly made up of two components, resistance and inductive reactance. While the resistance of the coil may change a certain amount as the coil heats up, the inductance will vary quite considerably depending upon whether the solenoid is in the energized or de-energized position. In the deenergized position, the inductance and hence impedance, will be low since the magnetic circuit is incomplete, whereas in the energized position, inductance and impedance will be high since a complete magnetic circuit is now established. The implication of this is that as an AC solenoid is energized, the low impedance initially causes a high current that subsequently drops as the armature pulls in and the impedance increases. The initial peak current is known as the inrush and the subsequent lower value, the holding current. In practice, therefore, this is the effect that may cause a solenoid coil to burn out, since if the valve spool sticks and the armature does not pull in, the solenoid current remains at high inrush value, creating excessive heat and coil burnout. Under normal circumstances, the extra heating effect created by the inrush current will only be significant on rapidly cycled solenoids. The inrush current could be reduced by, for example, shortening the stroke of the solenoid or using lighter spool springs, but both of these modifications may be detrimental to the hydraulic performance of the valve. If the solenoid supply voltage is higher than the rated voltage of the coil, this will create a higher inrush and holding current and hence more heat. Also if the supply voltage is lower than rated, this will reduce the solenoid force such that the armature may not fully close, which again results in higher holding current and more heat. For satisfactory performance, therefore, the voltage supply should be maintained between ±10% of the rated voltage. Comparison of AC and DC Solenoids. Although AC and DC solenoids perform the same function, they have different characteristics that may affect the choice of voltage supply. For example: Response Times. Generally speaking, AC solenoids are faster acting than DC solenoids. For example, on energizing, the time for an AC solenoid (center to offset position) would be 25 ms as compared to 50 ms for the DC equivalent. De-energizing times are not so easily determined since they depend upon the type of switching used with a DC solenoid and the point on the AC curve where switching occurs for an AC solenoid. In certain applications, however, a slow response time is desirable to reduce shocks in the hydraulic system. This can be achieved hydraulically by adding an orifice plug. This feature would only be practical on DC solenoid valves since the longer solenoid pull-in time achieved would mean that an AC coil would remain on inrush current for a longer period of time and hence overheat. Reliability. AC solenoids are more prone to burn out than DC versions owing to the fact that a malfunction of the valve (spool sticking) or an incorrect voltage supply may cause the solenoid to remain on inrush current and overheat. However, the very slight chattering effect that will remain on an AC solenoid means that the spool is constantly vibrated very slightly and thus makes the valve spool less prone to stick. Practical Considerations. Obviously in certain cases, such as mobile applications, the only supply available may be DC, in which case the choice is already made. Also, in industrial applications, the increasing use of proportional valves, which use a DC solenoid, means that DC-operated conventional valves will probably become more popular.

Proportional solenoids operate in much the same way as ON/OFF DC solenoids. The main difference is that the solenoid current is now varied to determine the solenoid force. 12. The spool can be moved to a greater or lesser amount in the valve body by varying the solenoid current. 13. Reversing the direction of current through the coil will reverse the armature polarity and hence the force direction. 14. Force motors give a more linear force/current relationship than proportional solenoids. 15. Solenoid temperature will increase rapidly. 16. The inrush and holding currents are the same. 17.

20. Both the spring return valve and a detented valve contain a valve spool that shifts when the solenoid coil is energized. The difference is that the spring return valve will return to its unoperated (or normal) position when the solenoid is de-energized. A detented valve will remain shifted when the solenoid is de-energized. An additional solenoid is required to be energized in order to return the detented valve to its unoperated (or normal) position. 21.

Types of Control

This chapter may prove to be more difficult for the student to understand. As a result, the instructor may choose to devote more time to this material. Items to cover carefully are: 1. Open Loop Control a. Accuracy of results and causes 2. Closed Loop Control a. Transducers b. Input signal c. Feedback signal d. Gain e. Proportional control f. Error signal g. Effect of increased gain h. The derivative term i. Error rate j. Vertical load situation k. Steady state error 1. Integral term m. Stability in fast-acting systems n. Combination of derivative and integral terms o. PID

ACHIEVEMENT REVIEW ANSWERS 1. To close the loop in closed-loop control system, a position transducer is connected to the load and provides a feedback signal proportional to the load position. 2. Starting with the statement, control signal (input signal 2 feedback signal) 3 Gain, the control signal can be thought of as the error between input and output. All the time the error exists, the servo valve operates to move the load. When the load reaches the desired position, the error signal becomes zero. The servo valve centers and the load stops. 3. When the amplifier gain is increased, the amplifier produces a larger control signal. Although the output arrives at the desired position faster, it now overshoots because the load is traveling at such a speed that it cannot be stopped quickly enough when it reaches the required position. 4. To compensate for leakage across the valve spool, the servo valve spool must be displaced slightly away from center to prevent movement of the load. To offset the valve spool, a small control signal is required. In order for there to be a control signal, an error must exist between input and output. That is, the load can never be exactly in the required position. This is known as the Steady State Error.

11. Fiber optics are used for sensing objects in positions where, owing to limited space or high temperatures, it is not possible to mount a transducer. 12. Thermistors are used to convert temperature differences into electrical signals, which are further processed in the control monitor. 13. Thermal conductivity. (c) 14. The pulse modulated photoelectric sensor operates with two units: the emitter and the receiver. Each unit is mounted some distance from each other, but with the lens of the emitter in direct line with the lens of the receiver. The emitter’s role is to turn on and off an LED at a high rate of speed. The light of the LED is focused by a lens (like a flashlight) to the lens of the receiver. The receiver’s role is to detect a change in the pulsed light of the LED coming into its lens. If the light changes, the receiver will change a set of electrical contacts or switch on an external load. If the emitter is moved further away from the receiver, the intensity of the light will decrease. A decrease in light intensity will cause the receiver to increase its sensitivity to changes in the received light. This could cause a false triggering of the receiver’s load circuit. 15. Ultrasonic sensors emit a high frequency sound wave while a photoelectric sensor emits a flash of light. Sound waves are best for environments where light could be interrupted or distorted, such as dusty conditions or reflective surfaces. Light is best in environments that are noisy with high frequency sounds and strong electromagnetic fields. 16. The role of the position decoder is to sense the change in movement of the structure to which the decoder is attached. The position decoder must be calibrated to a known starting point. After the structure moves, the decoder will provide a signal (analog or digital) equal to the amount of change in the movement. For multiple axis devices (i.e., robots) each axis member requires its own position decoder. The role of the controller is to interpret the signals received by the decoders, compare the value to a programmed position, and provide an output voltage equal to the difference. The important element of each articulated machine is the end effecter (i.e., welder, picker arm, machining tool). Therefore, to control the simultaneous movement of all axes, to accurately position the end effecter, the controller’s program will translate the desired movement of the end effecter into independent changes to each axis. The role of the program is to allow the operator to enter the desired path of the end effecter. The program will calculate the amount of movement of each axis required to move the end effecter. 17. The motion profile describes the change in control element (electrical or fluid) to control the speed and acceleration of the resulting actuator (i.e., cylinder rod). This profile can be equated to our automotive driving pattern during a trip. We accelerate from a stopped position. We dwell while waiting for a stop light. We maintain constant speeds through streets. We decelerate when we approach a stoplight or our destination. When traveling away from our starting point, we move in a positive direction, and as we travel back to out starting point, we move in a negative direction. Therefore, in Figure 7-38(a) the cylinder rod would start at a beginning point, such as completely retracted. From this point the rod would accelerate at some rate A until it reaches a point where the rod would maintain a constant speed A. After some distance of travel, the rod will decelerate (at the rate it accelerated) to a stop. The rod is held at this position for some dwell time. After the dwell time is over, the rod would again accelerate, move at a constant speed, and decelerate to another point. The rod is held at this position for some dwell time. After the dwell time is over, the rod would extend again, accelerating, moving, and decelerating to its final extended position. While retracting, the rod will accelerate until it reaches a constant speed. At some point, it will begin to reduce speed until it stops retracting at its original starting point.

18. The motion profile describes the change in the control element (electrical or fluid) to control the speed and acceleration of the resulting actuator (cylinder rod). Therefore, in Figure 7-38(b) the cylinder rod would start at a beginning point such as completely retracted. From this point the rod would accelerate at some rate A until it reaches a speed of A. It keeps this speed until some distance of travel the rod will accelerate to a higher speed B. Again, after some distance the rod will begin to decrease its speed (decelerate A) until it reaches a point where its speed (D) is constant. Finally, at another point, the rod will reduce its speed (decelerate B) until it comes to a stop at its maximum extended point. While retracting, the rod will accelerate at a rate of D until it reaches a constant speed D. At some point, it will begin to reduce speed (decelerate C) until it stops retracting at its original starting point. 19. 2SB

Pressure Control

1. Importance of Pressure Indication and Control. The instructor can use the pressure chart shown in Figure 8-2 in the textbook. Devote some time in explaining the difference between “actuation and deactuation points.” Three more important items are differential, accuracy, and tolerance. The student should understand the importance of communicating physical action on a machine and electrical signals. 2. Types of Pressure Switches. Explain the difference between the various types of pressure switches. It is important that the student knows where each type can be used and their limitations. Be sure that the student understands the Wheatstone Bridge and its application in the Pressure Transducer. 3. Circuit Applications. The instructor should review several circuits using the pressure switch. Additional circuits can be developed using both the NO and NC contacts. Note that control circuits continue to build on the original material that included oil-tight units, relays, solenoids, and limit switches.

ACHIEVEMENT REVIEW ANSWERS 1. a. Electrical b. Differential expansion of metal c. Expansion of fluid, gas, or vapor 2. Speed of response is a measure of elapsed time from the instant the temperature change occurs at the sensing element until it is converted into controller action. 3. Resolution sensitivity is the amount of temperature change necessary to actuate the controller. Controller operating differential is the difference in temperature at the sensing element between make and break of the controller’s contacts when the controller is cycled. 4. The thermocouple operates on the principle of joining two dissimilar metals A and B at their extremities. When a temperature difference exists between the two extremity points, a potential is generated. This potential is in direct proportion to the temperature difference. 5. Time proportioning turns the heating elements on and off in accordance with the demands of the temperature set point. There is a point below the set point where the power to the heating elements is on continuously. Likewise, there is a point above the set point where the power is off. Between these two points the power is on at a proportional rate. 6. The relay output controller can handle approximately 500 watts to 1000 watts at 120 volts.

1. Selected Operations Explain to the students that while the timer can be a very useful tool, it must be applied properly. They must know and use what is important for a specific control function. Is it time, position, pressure, or temperature? In many cases, it may be a combination of two or more. Be sure they understand the difference between a timer and time-delay relay. Review basic timer functions as shown in Textbook Figure 10-2. 2. Types of Timers a. Synchronous Motor Driven (1) Reset (2) Repeat cycle (3) Manual set Understand the reset timer contact symbols in their three different conditions: reset, timing, and timed out.

ACHIEVEMENT REVIEW ANSWERS 1. Time-delay relays are components that have their timing functions after the coil has been energized or de-energized. Timing contacts can be NO or NC. Instantaneous contacts both NO and NC are available. When reference is made to timers, the time function can start on one or more of the contacts on energization of the timer or any time after energization during a preset time cycle. One or more of the contacts can operate at the end of a preset time cycle or remain operated until the timer is de-energized. 2. Synchronous motor driven; solid state. 3. Clutch and synchronous motor. 4. Reset or de-energized—clutch and motor de-energized. Timing—Clutch energized; motor can or cannot be energized, depending on its circuit application. Time out—motor de-energized; clutch can or cannot be de-energized, depending on its circuit application.

Control Circuits

1. Placement of Components in a Control Circuit. The instructor has now completed detailed information on basic components providing input for position, pressure, temperature, time, and counting. In these chapters, a few simple circuit diagrams have been shown, using one or more of these components. It is now time to complete the circuit diagrams with line numbers. Note that the line numbers are enclosed in some geometric form to separate them from wire numbers. Later, in troubleshooting, an additional use of these line numbers will be explained. 2. Bar Chart. After an explanation in the use of a bar chart, the student will find reading a circuit diagram much easier and quicker than a lengthy contact-by-contact description. At this point, the instructor should point out the division of control and power. The same division will be used in all control. See Textbook Figures 12-3 and 12-4. Explain the importance of showing line numbers in drawings and include a description of the function of each energized coil.

ACHIEVEMENT REVIEW ANSWERS 1. Push-button switches; limit switches; pressure switches; temperature switches; selector switches 2.

3. Output devices to be energized, such as relays, contactors, timers, and motor starters, are shown on the left-hand vertical column of a bar chart. 4. The fused disconnect switch is used to disconnect the power from the circuit and provide short-circuit protection. 5.

6. De-energized (b) 7. To ensure that piston #2 is at the returned position before relay coil 4CR and solenoid B are energized. Note that it is sealed through a contact on relay 4CR. 8. The counter clutch is energized when the timer clutch is energized. Sequence of operation: Press the CYCLE START push-button. Time-delay relay coil 1TR is energized. Inst. contact 1TR-1 closes, energizing relay coil 3CR. Relay contact 3CR-1 closes, energizing solenoid 1HA. Note at this point that the ON DELAY timing contact on 1TR is in the seal-in circuit around the CYCLE START push-button. Therefore, the CYCLE START push-button must be held operated until 1TR times out and the timer clutch is energized. The piston moves forward to the workpiece, builds pressure to the setting on pressure switch PS. PS contact closes, energizing relay coil 2CR. Relay contact 2CR-1 closes, completing a seal-in circuit around the 1PS contact. Relay contact 2CR-3 closes, energizing the counter motor (coil). Relay contact 2CR-2 opens, de-energizing relay coil 3CR. Relay contact 3CR-1 opens, de-energizing solenoid 1HA. The piston now retracts until it actuates limit switch 1LS. The NC limit switch contact 1LS opens, de-energizing relay coil 2CR. Relay contact 2CR-1 opens. Relay contact 2CR-3 opens, de-energizing the counter motor. This is now one count. Relay contact 2CR-2 closes, energizing relay coil 3CR. Relay contact 3CR-1 closes, energizing solenoid 1HA. The piston now again extends to the workpiece and builds pressure. Pressure switch contact IPS opens. This oscillating between the workpiece and 1LS position continues until the counter has counted out. When the counter counts out, counter contact 1C-2 opens so that the next pressure cycle, relay coil 2CR is not energized. Thus, relay coil 3CR is not de-energized, so solenoid 1HA remains energized. When the counter is counted out, counter contact 1C-1 closes, energizing the timer motor. Pressure will now hold on the workpiece until the timer times out. Once the timer times out, relay coil 1TR de-energizes. Contact 2T-1 opens de-energizing timer motor. Contact 2T-2 opens de-energizing 1TR. Contact 2T-3 opens de-energizing counter clutch, relay coil 3CR, and solenoid 1HA. With Solenoid 1HA de-energized, the piston retracts to its initial start position. 9. Following the de-energizing of relay coil 2CR by the opening of 3CR-1 contact at the close of a cycle, relay contact 2CR-2 is open. Unless both START push-button switches are returned to their unoperated condition, relay coil 2CR cannot be energized. It follows then that the relay contact 2CR-2 will remain open, preventing the start of a new cycle. 10. De-energized (a) 11.

14. To maintain the exact profile for extension and retraction, the potentiometer settings for P1, P2, and P3 would be exactly the same. When the cylinder reaches 2LS, 2LS (NC) will unlatch 2CR. 2LS (NO) will activate 3CR which will close 3CR-2 and 3CR-3 which energizes ramp potentiometer P3. The negative voltage at the wiper of the P3 will be seen at the ramp 3 input. The negative voltage will cause the valve to shift in position causing the cylinder to retract. The amount of negative voltage will determine the slope of the change to the valve. As the valve reaches its full open position, the speed of the cylinder is maintained until its reaches 3LS. 15.

4. With a single source of AC voltage connected to a single winding, a stationary flux field that pulsates in strength as the AC voltage varies, but does not rotate, is created. Consequently, if a stationary rotor is placed in the stationary stator field, it will not rotate. 5. The small diameter wire in the start winding causes a high current density, so it heats up very rapidly. A centrifugal switch is used to remove the start winding from the circuit once the motor has reached an adequate speed to allow running on the main winding only. 6. Adding a capacitor results in the start winding current leading the line current, resulting in a time phase shift and a strong rotating field. 7. With the capacitor start motor, a centrifugal switch must be used to protect both the start winding and the capacitor from damage due to overheating. The permanent split capacitor motor uses a capacitor that is capable of running continuously and therefore does not have to be removed from the circuit. 8. The efficiency of the shaded pole motor is low due to the presence of winding harmonic content, particularly the third harmonic and losses in the shading coil. 9. 1. Shunt wound 2.

It is accomplished by six diodes that may be in a single package or in small modules. The diodes are protected by input fuses, which are chosen for their speed and interrupting capacity. An input choke in the DC leg of the diode bridge protects against line transients and limits the rate at which input current may increase or decrease. 15. The rotor uses permanent magnets instead of shorted rotor bars. 16. The Hall effect switches are non-contact (electrically isolated) devices, which are mounted in positions 60° apart (on a four-pole Motor). It is not possible for these switches to be all on or all off at the same time. There will always be two on and one off or two off and one on at all times. 17.

Motor Starters

As motor starters are used on practically every industrial machine, the student should have a thorough knowledge of the various types and how they operate. The instructor can use the following check list to aid in covering the subject. 1. Overload Relays — How and Why They Are Used a. Thermally responsive b. Ambient compensated c. Trip free d. Connecting the contacts 2. Across-the-line (Full-Voltage) Starters (See Textbook Figure 14-3B). a. Combination b. Reversing (See Textbook Figure 14-4B). c. Multispeed — Pole changing d. Understand the difference between no-voltage or low-voltage release and no-voltage or low-voltage protection. e. Jogging (See Textbook Figure 14-10.) f. Auxiliary contacts 3. Reduced-Voltage Motor Starters a. Autotransformer b. Primary resistor c. Wye (or star) delta d. Part winding As circuit diagrams for these starters will change from one manufacturer to another, it is generally not necessary to devote too much time to circuits. It is more important for the student to understand: (1) How reduced voltage affects torque; (2) Why multiple leads must be brought out from the motor for wye-delta and part winding starters.

6. The reversing of a three-phase, squirrel-cage induction motor is accomplished by interchanging any two line connections to the motor. Interlocks are used to prevent both units on a reversing motor starter from closing their line contacts at the same time. 7. With a reduced-voltage starter set to apply 65% of full voltage to a motor for starting, the resulting starting torque will be 42% of normal. 8. The resistance is placed in series in each line with the motor on starting. This reduces the voltage available to the motor. When the timer times out, the resistance is shorted out, placing full voltage on the motor.

9. No-voltage or low-voltage release means that when there is a voltage failure, the starter will open its contacts or drop out. It will close again or pick up as soon as the voltage returns. No-voltage or low-voltage protection means that when there is a voltage failure, the starter contacts will open or drop out. The starter contacts will not reclose or pick up again automatically when the voltage returns. 10. Jogging provides for the energizing of a motor starter only as long as the JOG push-button is held operated. A relay is used in the circuit as a safety factor to prevent the starter from locking in during a jogging operation. 11. Thermal sensor (c) 12.

The function of the processor (Central Processing Unit or CPU) is to control all system activities by interpreting and executing programmed instructions. The processor scans the status of the input devices, changes the memory location that represents the device, evaluates the condition of the current rung of the program sequence, and appropriately updates the output devices. Larger PLCs can control more peripheral devices such as printers, disk drives, operator monitors, and keyboard. The memory of the larger PLCs also have more memory chips to manage larger programs and a greater quantity of input and output devices.

7. The PLC I/O functions differ depending on the type of input devices that provide process status and the type of output devices that are processor actuators. The I/O functions are divided into input modules and output modules. Modules differ on operating voltage of the device and whether input signal conditioning is required. 8. Thermocouple input module Load cell input module Voltage isolation module Digital signals (TTL) module 9. PLC memory is logically constructed to represent the number of input and output devices connected to the PLC. For example, a typical memory word provides 16 individual input points. Another memory word would provide for 16 individual output points. Therefore, as the number of combined input and output points increases, the number of memory words will need to increase. If a PLC has a fixed number of memory words, then the number of input and output points will also be fixed. 10. Computer memory can be of two types: a. Random Access Memory (RAM) is used to store information and results needed as the PLC is operating. This memory is lost when power is removed. If memory must be retained, then a battery is used to keep power in the RAM chips while the PLC is turned off. b. Read Only Memory (ROM) is used to store information that will never change or will change occasionally. 11.

12. The role of the communication highway is to provide a communication link between all process equipment, such as sensors, actuators, controllers, printers, and operator control stations. In large processes, where the process equipment may be spread over a large physical plant (or several plants), the communication highway organizes and moves the digital signals from where the signal was created to where the signal is processed. 13. Normally open contact I:3/3 becomes a normally closed contact. 14. Normally open contact I:5/0 becomes a normally closed contact. For the original design, if the wire to input I:5/0 was disconnected the motor would shut off. For the modified design, if the wire to input I:5/0 was disconnected the motor would remain running and cannot be shut off. The original design is failsafe. 15. Delay is 1 second. 16. When the REVERSE push-button is pressed the MCR coil will de-energize. The logic will no longer be solved. Coil B3:0/5 will turn off, coil B3:0/6 will turn off, coil O:2/0 will turn off, timer 1TON will reset, and counter CTR will reset. 17. Input I:4/1 will be energized all of the time. Coil B3:2/7 will not be energized. Therefore, the cycle cannot be started because coil B3:2/4 will not energize due to the normally open contact from B3:2/7. 18.

Industrial Data Communications

1. This table will illustrate the differences: FACTORY WITH PROCESS CONTROL COMPUTERS 1. Production is composed of single step processes resulting in slow production and more worker involvement. 2. Since manufacturing steps are not controlled any attempt to increase production will result in more waste. 3. Workers are responsible for speed of production and monitoring quality.

4. Workers rely on human senses that can be slow and inaccurate.

DISTRIBUTED DATA FACTORY Production systems are integrated resulting in continuous manufacturing with less worker involvement. Each process is dependent on previous processes resulting in higher quality and fewer delays. Computers monitor the quality of the products and adjust the speed of production to maintain quality standards at the highest production rate. High tech sensors can detect the minutest changes in physical dimensions (so minute a human could not detect).

2. The architecture approach focuses on the origination and destination of data throughout the industrial process, plant, and corporation. The approach creates a network where control devices are arranged to support the unique and specific data needs. Generally the architecture is documented in a network design that shows the type and function of the network equipment. 3. Connection—Transmission—Access 4. Provide data when and where it is needed. 5. Data originates from some source such as a sensor, moves through transmission lines such as twistedpair cable, is switched or routed to appropriate network segments, and terminates into a controller. 6. The error checking code is created so that it can be moved with the digital data bits over the t ransmission network. The code is checked at the destination of the transmission for any changes in the digital data. If the error code changes, the data has changed values somewhere in the network and is considered erroneous. 7. (a) For a control device to be connected to a network it must be network compatible. (b) The string of digital data is structured in a manner that places the device identifier code, the destination code, an error checking code, and the operating value for the device all in the same digital bit string. (c) The process of determining the way in which the string fits together, how the communication is started and ended, whose turn it is to send or receive data, and how messages are confirmed is controlled by a protocol. 8. Parallel data transmission involves a group of wires, one for each bit of the data word as well as any synchronous control signals. Serial transmission uses two wires to conduct the series of pulses that represent each bit of the data word. Parallel transmission can be bidirectional over the same wires. However, serial transmission requires an additional set of wires (4 wire) if the data is bidirectional.

9. Synchronous data is generated at a specific timing event created by a controller. Asynchronous data is only generated when a change in the data occurs. Asynchronous data is applicable to devices such as sensors where data is only needed when there is a change in value. Synchronous data is applicable for controller devices, which need to evaluate the data in other controllers. 10. The industrial data highway is a concept that represents the electronics and cabling designed to move digital data between automation devices such as controllers, sensors, and operator interfaces. 11. This table will illustrate the differences:

Cabling

Reliability

BUS

STAR

RING

The devices on the network are connected together in a string (daisy chain). Usually with a terminator at the end of the bus. If the central bus cable fails, the network will become unstable.

Each network device is connected to a central network controller. A star network generally requires more cable then a bus or ring. If a device fails, it will not affect the entire network.

The devices on the network are connected together in a continuous loop so that the end is connected to the network controller. A failure in any cable or device breaks the loop and can take down the entire network.

12. Ethernet is very stable and reliable in industrial network applications. 13. 1. Sensor to Actuator—typical devices may be a temperature, pressure, and displacement sensor. Actuators could be servo or stepper motors. 2. The controller program and operating system—typical devices or software would be the controller program specifically designed for an application. The operating system may be the proprietary software of the controller manufacturer or it may be a PC operating system such as Windows. 3. The network interface cards and switching electronics—typical devices are PLC network cards and network switching devices such as switches, hubs, and routers. 4. Network wires and connectors—typical devices such as Category 5, four-wire shielded cable. The cable is terminated with an RJ-45 connector.

Quality Control

• In class, encourage students to discuss what quality means to them. • Review the alarm circuits that will identify when processes are not operating as intended. • Discuss the normal distribution and the frequency distribution charts as a means of identifying the range of tolerance and control of a product. • Have students describe how components and systems can become inaccurate.

ACHIEVEMENT REVIEW ANSWERS 1. The purpose of this question is to emphasize: a. the importance of quality (1) reduce repair costs (2) company’s image (3) competition b. value for the dollar (1) fewer problems (2) longer lasting c. image Early in their training, students should gain an appreciation of why quality should be constantly considered in every aspect of work. Quality should be part of everyone’s work. 2. The purpose of the question is to consider important criteria for quality in products they are most familiar with. In other words, as they consider quality from a consumer perspective, they can make better judgments on quality issues in their work. Students would expect quality, but they must realize that workers can control the degree of quality of a product. 3. Thermo switches can be used to control the curing rate of plastics and acrylics. If the switch is faulty, the product may be too soft or too hard.

Pressure switches can be used to control the compacting or force applied to an object. If the switch is faulty, the product may be too soft or too hard. Limit switches (and their mounting structure) can be used to control the positioning of a part within an assembly. If the switch is faulty, the product may be out of alignment. Flow switches can be used to monitor the flow of conditioned air in a public area (i.e., retail store or restaurant). When customers are comfortable, they will appreciate the quality of the environment and enjoy their stay in that area.

5. The purpose of an analog-to-digital converter is to translate the changing analog output voltage from a transducer (i.e., thermocouple or load cell) into a digital word. The digital word is required of computerbased controllers to represent the physical state of the transducer (i.e., temperature or pressure). The data acquisition system is a small computer that will sample multiple transducer channels and produce a digital word equal to the output of each transducer and the channel the transducer is connected to. 6. Sensors can become faulty, loose, dirty, too hot, too cold, experience changes in line voltage, not be calibrated to manufacturer’s specifications, and physically damaged. To correct the problem before changes to quality can be detected, a thorough and effective preventative maintenance program must be instituted and followed. 7.

Safety

In class, encourage students to discuss the many aspects of safety. Review several safety circuits. Emphasize machine safety versus worker safety. Discuss how programmable controllers should and should not be used in safety circuits. Have students identify the sequence of steps necessary for a control logic sequence to recover from a machine malfunction. For this, any circuit from Chapter 12 can be used to illustrate what would occur if: a. limit switches broke b. relays failed c. hydraulic valves failed d. motors malfunctioned

3. The purpose of this question is to have students understand that codes and standards are important to safety because criteria for installation and use of electrical equipment will help (but not guarantee) to eliminate hazards to machines as well as operating and maintenance personnel. Each chapter of the National Electrical Code handbook contains procedures and guidelines that not only provide uniformity of installation and operation but establish barriers to health and environmental hazards. 4. Proper emergency circuits should be designed and implemented to stop or temporarily disable the operation of the controller, machine or process. Emergency circuits should not be part of the programmed logic but hard-wired outside of the controller. This is necessary in case of total controller failure. For example, emergency stop devices should directly control motor starters and other actuators for immediate response. 5. The purpose of this question is to encourage the student to converse with a business person who has direct knowledge of safety problems and issues. This person may: a. show students how safety procedures are implemented and what their intended result is b. tell students about business issues that arise with safety: • higher insurance rates • lost employee time • role of management to ensure worker safety • cost of safety measures • inspections by local and federal inspectors 69

6. a. Photoelectric sensor—hands, arms, legs are in a dangerous zone b. Mechanical limit switch—guards are in place c. Pressure switch—worker is standing at a proper (or improper) location 7. The purpose of the question is to bring the awareness of safety to a higher level by observing and documenting the proper use of a machine. Critical thinking is needed when preparing a document that will inform the reader of potential hazards. The student may choose any piece of equipment. Machines such as a saw, grinder, or lathe are good examples. A typical manual would have the following sections: • Purpose of the manual • Description of the machine • Points on the machine that are accessible and hazardous • Description of proper operations • Examples of improper operations 8. To better predict when fault events may take place before costly damage could occur. 9. See Section 18.5 in the textbook. 1

Equipment for troubleshooting. Cover the use of multimeters (source voltage, voltage drop, voltage imbalance), current measurements, motor inrush current, contact bounce, and temperature measurements. Devote extra time to the safety checks for meters. 5. Motors 6. Component coils. Cover the flow chart that can be used in troubleshooting. This extensive procedure may not always be required, but it develops discipline. 7. Troubleshooting a complete control circuit 8. Troubleshooting the programmable logic controller 9. Electronic Troubleshooting Hints. Devote extra time to this section.

ACHIEVEMENT REVIEW ANSWERS 1. a. When checking with the circuit de-energized, use an ohmmeter and check continuity of circuits and presence of grounds. It may be necessary to disconnect some circuits to eliminate measuring of alternate paths. b. When checking with the circuit energized, use a light bulb in a pigtail socket or a voltmeter. With this equipment, you can indicate electrical energy in the circuit. Either the series or half-split method may be used. 2.

a. Put lead A on L1; B on L2 should read line voltage. If not, the problem is in the supply. b. Put lead A on L1, B on 2. With line voltage reading, the #1 fuse is open. With no reading, #2 fuse is open or both fuses are open. c. Put lead A on 1, B on L2. With line voltage reading, the #2 fuse is open. With no reading now, both fuses are open. 3. Normally closed contacts can cause trouble and yet appear to be in good condition. 73

4. Filing a contact surface can remove a protective coating of silver cadmium. The contact will then have a short life. 5. A combination problem is that which has more than one source, such as electrical-mechanical, electricalpressure, or electrical-temperature. 6. a. All coils are tied to a common line that is grounded. The opposite side is protected by a device such as a fuse or circuit breaker. The presence of a ground will open the protective device. b. The common side is not grounded. Both sides are protected by a fuse or circuit breaker. A set of two ground detector lights is connected in series. A solid ground is placed between the two lights. With no grounds on the control system, both lights will glow at half brilliance. With a ground in the system, one light will go out and the other will glow at full brilliance. 7. When a common line connection such as a jumper is omitted, an open circuit is created. A more common location for this omission is on terminal blocks or components having more than one connection with the same circuit number.

Note that circuit connection #2 on relay coil 4CR has been missed in connecting to the terminal block. A jumper could have been used for connection from #2 on 4CR coil to #2 on 3CR coil. 8. a. Connection points in solenoid valves, limit switches, and pressure switches. b. Pulling conductors through conduit and fittings. c. Loose strands of a conductor. 9. Dust, dirt, and grease on mechanical parts; loose pins and bolts on components such as large motor starters; overheated parts; dust, dirt, and fluids in enclosures. 10. Inadequate power supply; a conductor that is too small. 11. In a good preventive maintenance program, records are kept of each reported problem and the work done to correct it. These records are compiled periodically and are available to the supervisor. This not only leads to faster troubleshooting in the future, but it also gives the supervisor an indication of why production may be down in a given department. 12. Textbook Figure 19-19 shows the limit switch 1LS in an operated condition. This means that the NC contact will be held open. If 14-15 is wired to the NC contact, the circuit will be open; therefore, a cycle cannot be started. 13. 11. (b)

3. The panel should be removable through the enclosure door opening. All line voltage devices (above 120) should be mounted above or to the side of control voltage devices.

4. Advantages: (a) Saves the maintenance workers’ time; (b) Faster job of troubleshooting. Disadvantages: (a) Higher initial cost; (b) Possibly more material. 5. Impact speed should not exceed 400 feet per minute. Designed overtravel should not exceed 10 degrees. Do not use excessive overloads on contacts. Excessive voltage and high inductive loads also contribute to contact failure. 6. Contacts on the vane switch are rated at 0.75 ampere make and 0.2 ampere continuous. They are recommended for use in a dusty atmosphere. 7. a. Keep the components within an easy and safe range of working height. This is approximately 2 feet to 5 1/2 feet above the operating floor. b. Design the control panels so they can be removed through the cabinet door opening. c. Do not stack terminal blocks one on top of the other. d. Space components and terminal blocks so that the terminals are accessible to add or remove conductors. e. Use relays with such features as building block assembly for time delay, mechanical latch, and additional standard relay contacts. The changing of NO and NC contacts or the universal contact arrangement are useful.
