Week #3: (10/26-30) Electrical Diagrams & Visio

Post by rjagodowski »

This week we'll continue the discussion of Electrical Circuit Diagrams and finish Chapter 4 in the text, discuss Ladder Logic drawings and introduce the Microsoft program Visio and an old Circuit Analysis program called Electronics Workbench (EWB). Visio 2010 and EWB are installed on the computers in the 20/M118 lab.

Assignment: Pages 55 & 56 in the text have some schematic related questions. You should answer questions 4-1 through 4-19.

10/26: Review of series & parallel connections from 10/23. Continue working in Chapter 4 in the text with a discussion of Fig 4-7 and Fig. 4-8 on the truck wiring diagram & schematic.

10/28: Ladder Logic diagrams explained. Sample Ladder Logic Problems, some get more involved than we need to at this point. A worksheet containing several of these was distributed in today's class.
