WHY TEACH INDUSTRIAL CONTROLS WITHOUT BEING BRAND-SPECIFIC? The online videos attached to this text use software and hardware from Automation Direct. This software is as close to open source as possible for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). The Do-more software used in the videos and referenced is a free full version download with a virtual PLC so that complicated laboratory equipment is not needed to work on the projects in this text. Other brands like Allen Bradley, Omron, or Siemens may also have this functionality, but Do-more matches what I have in my laboratory. The goal of this course, aside from some housekeeping pieces that are required because the Automation Direct software is being used, is to discuss the programming and …show more content…
Use this text as a guide, just as I intend to teach the course, as a stepping-stone into the world of industrial controls. This text will allow you to access information in a “just in time” fashion for the project you are working on rather than a “just in case” method of memorization. HISTORY OF THE UNDERWRITERS LABORATORY AND THE NFPA History Technology works with society and grows over time. A historic perspective aids in understanding where we come from and why we do what we do. The engineering codes known as the National Fire Protection (NFPA) Codes are a large part of devices and buildings today. This is a history of the NFPA. The Birth of NFPA Significant Codes for this Text This text will specifically discuss sections of NFPA 79: Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery, chapters 9 and 10. This is not to say that the other chapters are insignificant. The other chapters will be used in support of 9 and 10. Along with this support, as with any electrical installation, NFPA 70: National Electric Code will be used as reference. Please also note that the NFPA is a code to properly install and build systems in a standard form and it is not necessarily law in a given jurisdiction. The Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) is the law making entity of the area, typically the State in the US. That body elects to adopt the code sections in whole or in part. Not only is it important to know the NFPA codes but also know the local regulations related to the
2. Prepare a list of the controls described in the case. What control problems are they designed to address? Are the managers interviewed for the case justified in being proud of their company’s control system? Why or why not?
Following the books style guide, I summarized the main steps in our process description. I then continued with arguments on why this technical description should be important to industrial engineering students, providing a sense of finality.
You learned the basics of many of the rules we cover in this course in ADMS 3520; this course will help you refresh that knowledge, learn

• FMEA • Fishbone Diagram • Process Flow Diagram • C&E Matrix • Attribute Gauge R&R • Capability Analysis • Binary Logistic Regression • Control Plan
The control degrees of freedom are the number of variables that can be controlled in the process, and the knowledge of them it is important in order to develop the process of the control system.
The Electricity at Work Regulations, is imposed to limit the risk of any accidents regarding electricity in a workplace it requires all electrical equipment to be used correctly and in a safe manner. It also requires the employer to carry out safety checks on the electrical equipment and tested on a routine basis (PAT) portable appliance test. All equipment must show that they have been tested by a qualified electrician by showing the pass or fail sticker, this should clearly show the appliance ID, pass or fail date, the engineer, next due PAT. Employers should also ensure that all staff are trained in using the electrical equipment and all staff must cooperate with the training that they were provided with.
This advancement in technology has been able to benefit a large number of peoples and still this is on its way to success. Though this technological advancements have made the working of human life much simpler but at the same time the major issue of ‘fire’ also exists. As more and more of peoples are shifting to the electronic and self operational equipments in their daily routine of life, fire catching risk is there in the same area. The use of devices and material which are highly flammable also give rise to the fire.
The fire protection field of engineer has a wide variety of possible day environments. They can range from industrial, office, travel or working in other countries. The most common of these typical days is office work and inspecting other buildings going under travel. The hours of work are normally forty hours weeks. The type of work is different for each employer just like the benefits. Benefits can range from paid holidays to retirement and health insurance. The average pay for a person with a Phd is eighty thousand dollars to one hundred thousand dollars
Finally, the outcome that fire technology can provide is ensuring safety overall no matter the cause or situation whether it relates to fire or medical. It is crucial that firefighters have the technology to help prevent disastrous fires and give treatment if needed in case of injuries. It does not only benefits fire fighters, but also society benefits from fire technology. They are able to access some technology that can benefit them and also as tax payers there money goes into the fire department in which the government supply’s better technology/ equipment for firefighters. Tax payers are paying for their own safety and firefighters will do their best to do so.
What I found confused during the process of doing my own task was how to identify the 3 types of controls. To overcome this barrier, I not only looked through the content in relevant slides and the chapter 14, 15, 16 in the textbooks, but also speak
