Concept explainers

Slope and Deflection

The slope in a deflected beam is described as an angle in radians made by the tangent of the section with the original axis of the beam. The deflection at any point on the axis of the beam is defined as the lateral displacement of the point before and after loading.

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). Construct the ladder…

Your factory produces cryogenic refrigerators, and your task is to design a control system for the fridge, but, using the same sensor, you must also supply the end-user with temperature monitoring. The cryogenic freezer is controlled in a tight band around minus 85°C, therefore in controlling the fridge you need to have the most accurate information available regarding the operating range of the fridge (nominally at -85°C, but it can be colder and it can defrost if faulty and reach a maximum ambient temperature of say 50°C to be safe). Due to the economy of RTD sensors, it is decided by management to use a PT100 RTD sensor (range -400°F to 1200°F) with a smart transmitter which needs to be set up correctly to a 4-20mA input on the PLC controlling the fridge. Taking the above conditions into account, the measuring range should be -100°C to 50°C (which should cater for the worst ambient temperature). a) Make sure the RTD is the correct choice b) Set the smart transmitter…
