Sequential Control 3 Stages

In industrial processing operation there are cases where machineries should be started one after the another. One example of electrical control applied to machineries in a processing operation is the sequential control shown in figure below (A) and (B). The 3 motors; M1, M2 and M3 are drive mechanical machine. Motor M1 is first started. After a Pre-set time, Motor M2 is started automatically. Later, with another pre-set time, motor M3 is started.

Control Operation

The first stage of control operation is started by pressing the start push button switch shown in figure 16 (a). Contactor C, timer TR1, and pilot lamp A are energized. Contact C1 (13-14) will close to maintain contactor C, timer TR1, and pilot lamp A. Contacts C2 (1-2,3-4,5-6) will also closed to energize and operate the motor M1, see figure 16 (b). Likewise the instantaneous timer contact TR1 (1-3) will close to prepare the second stage of operation

After the pre-set time of the timer TR1, the delay contact TR1 (8-6) will close. This will energize contactor C2, timer TR2, and pilot lamp B. Contact C2 (1-2,3-4,5-6) will closed to energized to operate the motor M2. Almost instantly the instantaneous timer contact TR2 (1-2) will close also to prepare the third stage of operation.

After the pre-set time of timer TR2, the delay contact TR2 (8-6) will close. This will energize contactor C3 and pilot lamp C. Contact C3 (1-2,3-4,5-6) will closed to energized and operate is fully accomplished when the three motors M1, M2, and M3 are all operating.

To de-energized the whole operation, press the stop push button.

A basic Arduino Solar PV Monitor

I have just recently had solar pv installed, mainly to future proof my energy costs, I do not expect it to be like drilling for oil in my back garden, however the return looks to be encouraging. The install gives you another single unit meter, from this you will see the total amount the panels produce, but that is about it. I wanted to know how much the production was as it was happening, I discovered the light blinks on the front of the meter will flash 1000 times for each kWh of electricity which passes through. The rate of the flashing of the LED tells you how much power is currently passing through the meter. [ ]

Build a Key Operated Gate Locking System Circuit

This simple key-operated gate locking system allows only those persons who know the preset code to open the gate. The code is to be entered from the keypad within the preset time to operate the motor fitted in the gate. If anyone trying to open the gate presses a wrong key in the keypad, the system is disabled and, at the same time, sounds an alarm to alert you of an unauthorized entry. Figs 1 and 2 show the block and circuit diagrams of the key-operated code locking system, respectively. Connect points A, B, C, D, E, F and ground of the circuit to the respective points of the keypad. Keys S7, S16, S14 and S3 are used here for code entry, and the remaining keys are used for disabling the system. It is very important to press the keys in that order to form the code. To start the motor of the gate, press switches S7, S16, S14 and S3 sequentially. If the keys are pressed in a different order from the preset order, the system will lock automatically and the motor will not start. Fig. 1: Bl...

Apple releases TV spot for new iPods

Apple has just released a fun commercial to showcase its new line of iPod players and the various colours they come in. The TV spot titled ‘Bounce’, has a bunch of colourful iPod touch, iPod nano and iPod shuffles er…bouncing to music. With all that colour and dancing and bouncing, you may forget that Apple’s latest gen line of iPods has some other awesome features. For instance, the fifth gen iPod touch comes with Siri, 4-inch retina display and an A5 chipset. Maybe the next ad will showcase some of these features with less bouncing.link
