Decisions, and Actions
In the following application, a temperature switch controls a heating contactor and a flow switch is used to
ensure there is enough air flow. If there is not enough air flow, an alarm is sounded. Complete the required
information.
1. List all the signal devices in the circuit.
2. List all the action devices in the circuit.
3. List the decision part of the circuit that automatically sounds the alarm if there is a problem.
4. When the heating element is on during normal operation, is the flow switch open or closed?

In relation to the circuit presented below, mark the alternative(s) that you consider correct.
1 To enable actuator A2 to advance, it is necessary to switch valve V2 to the leftmost position and ensure that valve V1 is in its initial (intermediate) position.
2 Switching valve V2 to the leftmost position allows actuator A2 to advance, but for this to happen, valve V1 must also be switched to the leftmost position.
3 When activating valve V1, using the locking lever installed on the left side of it, the two actuators (A1 and A2) are allowed to advance.
4 Hydraulic pump B1 is a simple variable displacement type.
5 Valves V1 and V2 have a TANDEM center.
A single-acting cylinder of 25 mm diameter is to clamp a component when a push button is pressed. As long as the push button is activated, the cylinder is to remain in the clamped position. If the push button is released, the clamp is to retract. Draw the circuit diagram for the problem.

- Refer to the schematic diagram in Figure 318. Assume that the motor is not running. When the third speed push button is pressed, the motor starts in its lowest speed. After a delay of 3 seconds, the motor accelerates to second speed and 3 seconds later to third speed. After a period of about 1 minute, the fourth speed push button is pressed, but the motor does not accelerate to fourth speed. Which of the following could cause this problem? a. Control relay CR2 coil is open. b. S2 contactor coil is open. c. CR3 coil is shorted. d. S3 contactor coil is open.arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 25–5. Assume that timer TR1 is set for a delay of 10 seconds and timer TR2 is set for a delay of 5 seconds. When the START button is pressed, the motor starts. After 10 seconds the S1 contacts open and the motor continues to accelerate, but never reaches full speed. After a delay of about 30 seconds, the motor trips out on overload. Which of the following could cause this problem? TR1 coil is open. S2 coil is open. S1 coil is open. R coil is open.arrow_forwardBoxes (or certain production parts) are moved by a double-acting cylinder away from a gravity-feed magazine towards an assembly device. A push button and a pedal switch are to be incorporated in the circuit. The cylinder is to move out when either of these is actuated. The return stroke is actuated by the cylinder rod after it reaches the end of the forward stroke. Draw the pneumatic circuit diagram using ISO symbols and connecting the ports with solid lines.arrow_forward
- To answer the following questions refer to the circuit shown in Figure 4110. Assume that the third speed push button is pressed and the motor starts in its first or lowest speed. After a delay of 3 seconds, the motor accelerates to its second speed, but never accelerates to its highest or third speed. Which of the following could cause this problem? a. CR coil is open. b. Coil 2TR is open. c. Coil 1TR is open. d. Coil 1S is open.arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 15-6. The STOP button is shown to be an emergency STOP button. What does the symbol used for the STOP button actually represent?arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 16-11. Assume that the platform is located on the lower floor. When the UP push button is pressed, the platform rises. When the platform reaches the upper floor, however, the pump does not turn off but continues to run until the overload relay opens the overload contacts. Which of the following could cause this problem? a. The solenoid valve opened when limit switch LS1 opened. b. The UP push button is shorted. c. Limit switch LS1 did not open its contacts. d. Limit switch LS2 contacts did not reclose when the platform began to rise.arrow_forward
- Refer to the circuit shown in Figure 33–7. When the low speed push button is pressed, the motor begins to run in low speed. When the high speed push button is pressed, the motor stops running. Which of the following could cause this problem? The 1L contactor coil is open. H contactor coil is open. PR relay coil is open. The 2L contactor coil is open.arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 4221. Assume that the THIRD SPEED push button is pressed. The motor starts in second speed, skipping first speed. After 5 seconds, the motor accelerates to third speed. Which of the following could cause this problem? a. S1 contactor coil is open. b. CR1 contactor coil is open. c. TRl timer coil is open. d. S1 load contacts are shorted.arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 241. Assume that timer TR is set for a delay of 10 seconds. When the START button is pressed, the motor starts in low speed. After a delay of 30 seconds the motor is still in its lowest speed and has not accelerated to normal speed. Which of the following could not cause this condition? a. The START button is shorted. b. Timer coil TR is open. c. Contactor coil R is open. d. Timed contact TR did not close after a delay of 10 seconds.arrow_forward
- Refer to the circuit shown in Figure 107. Assume that when the start button is pressed the motor does not start, but when the inch push button is pressed the motor runs at reduced speed. Which of the following could NOT cause this problem? a. The control transformer fuse is blown. b. M starter coil is defective. c. The start push button is defective. d. The stop push button is defective.arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 7-10. If wire number 11 were disconnected at the normally open auxiliary M contact, how would the circuit operate? Figure 7-10 Numbers are placed beside all components.arrow_forwardFollowing the procedure discussed in Chapter 7, place wire numbers on the schematic in Figure 8–7.
