Chapter 38, Problem 1RQ
What industry first started using programmable logic controllers?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The first industry to use programmable logic controllers.
Explanation of Solution
The programmable logic controllers were first used in the automotive industry. The automotive industry started using programmable logic controllers during the late 1960s.
The automotive industry had the necessity to change the control system operation for every newly designed automobile and it required to physically rewire the control system to perform the new operations that were expensive and time consuming.
Thus, the industry required a control system that could be changed without rewiring the system. The programmable logic controllers were then used to change the control system without excessive rewiring.

- In MATLAB write out a program to integrate the equations of motion of a rigid body. The inertia matrix is given by I = [125 0 0; 0 100 0; 0 0 75] which is a diagonal, where diag operator provides a matrix with given elements placed on its diagonal. Consider three cases where the body rotates 1 rad/sec about each principal axis. Integrate the resulting motion and study the angular rates and the resulting attitude (use any attitude coordinates). For each principal axis case, assume first that a pure spin about the principal axis is performed, and then repeat the simulation where a small 0.1 rad/sec motion is present about another principal axis. Discuss the stability of each motion. The code should produce a total of 6 simulations results when it is ran.arrow_forwardQ.
