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.

- An industrial robot performs a machine loading and unloading operation. A PLC is used as the cell controller. The cell operates as follows: (1) a human worker places a part into a nest, (2) the robot reaches over and picks up the part and places it into an induction heating coil, (3) a time of 10 sec is allowed for the heating operation, and (4) the robot reaches into the coil, retrieves the part, and places it on an outgoing conveyor. A limit switch X1 (normally open) is used to indicate that the part is in the nest in step (1). This energizes output contact Y1 to signal the robot to execute step (2) of the work cycle (this is an output contact for the PLC, but an input interlock signal for the robot controller). A photocell X2 is used to indicate that the part has been placed into the induction heating coil C1. Timer T1 is used to provide the 10-sec heating cycle in step (3), at the end of which, output contact Y2 is used to signal the robot to execute step (4).
