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

This week continues with different line and wiring diagrams. Two wire and three wire control circuits are discussed, as well as three phase motor circuits. Contactors and motor starters will be looked at further in another week ahead. The water station sets the ground work for starting to design a ladder diagram, then continues by adding to it and making it more automated and the logic needed to make it function. Troubleshooting pointers are looked at in the last few pages of the Electrical Motor Controls textbook from last weeks reading, which you may find helpful.
Reading Assignment:
Industrial Control Electronics - Chapter 18     Intro to Programmable Controllers (429-445 pgs)
Electrical Wiring Industrial - Chapter 8     Basic Motor Controls
The power points for this weeks material are located in the "Handout" section.
After you have completed the reading material, in the "Coursework" section there is an assignment to complete some of the problems from the end of chapter 18 of the Industrial Control Electronics textbook and some of the review questions from the end of chapter 8 of the Electrical Wiring textbook.
Other assignments found in the "Coursework" section are as follows:
A wire reference worksheet, where you will be matching the device wiring diagram to the reference on the line diagram.
Logging onto the remote server and building a circuit that is described in the assignment.
Continuing in the Troubleshooting Motor Circuits on the remote server and completing 3 faults in the Intermediate section.
