Title: Lesson
Course: Intro to Control Devices (IC 108-IC 108) > Section: Web Content

This week you will start control devices by looking at pressure systems and different pressure gauges. You will examine different forms of fluid and how they react to temperature in both a sealed and open container. The four instrument measuring scales gage pressure, absolute pressure, differential pressure, and vacuum pressure will be looked at. You should get a good understanding of how electronic pressure sensors detect pressure and how the different types of mechanical gauges function. A basic introduction to different pressure controls systems is also introduced.

This week in the "Coursework" section you will find the following assignments:
Answer the Problems at the end of Chapter #10 in the Industrial Control Electronics textbook.
Log in to the Troubleshooting Industrial Controls software and complete the first three of the Basic faults (I would suggest going through the introduction and be sure to PRINT out the wiring  and line diagrams before you start). You should find some of these a good challenge.
