Chapter 39, Problem 1RQ
Why are NEMA symbols such as push buttons, float switches, or limit switches not used in programmable logic controller schematics?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Identify why the NEMA symbols for components such as push buttons, limit switches and float switches are not used in the schematic of a programmable controller.
Explanation of Solution
The programmable logic controller can only recognise whether a contact is open or closed. It doesn’t know if the contact is connected to components such as float switches, push buttons and so on.
Thus, there is no NEMA symbol used to identify components such as push buttons, limit switches and float switches in the schematic of a programmable controller.

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.
