Title: Lesson
Course: Motor Controls (IC 106-IC 106) > Section: Web Content

Week 2 and week 3 will be covering Line (Ladder) diagrams. Topics included are the placement of components and loads on ladder diagram rungs, line-number reference layout or referred to as rung numbering, numerical cross-reference which is referencing contacts operated by devices such as relays that are in other parts of the circuit, and wire reference numbering which is labeling of wires to aid in identifying them in a wiring diagram. You will need to understand the three basic sections of a control circuit and the different types of logic that can be used to control the circuits. Wiring and ladder diagram referencing is introduced.
