Textbook Question
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.

A union feedback control system has the following open loop transfer function
where k>0 is a variable proportional gain
i. for K = 1 , derive the exact magnitude and phase expressions of G(jw).
ii) for K = 1 , identify the gaincross-over frequency (Wgc) [where IG(jo))| 1] and phase cross-overfrequency [where <G(jw) = - 180]. You can use MATLAB command "margin" to obtain there quantities.
iii) Calculate gain margin (in dB) and phase margin (in degrees) ·State whether the closed-loop is stable for K = 1 and briefly justify your answer based on the margin . (Gain marginPhase margin)
iv. what happens to the gain margin and Phase margin when you increase the value of K?you
You can use for loop in MATLAB to check that.Helpful matlab commands : if, bode, margin, rlocus
