  • In this lesson we'll take an introductory look at ladder logic diagrams, the principle means electrically controlled systems use to document and convey not only connection of individual devices making up the system but also the function of that system. Additionally, this lecture includes coverage of a handy configuration called a holding circuit. (Full lecture)

    Excellent lecture. I've not been able to fully grasp ladder logic for a long time--especially holding circuits, but you have explained it thoroughly and in an extremely well laid out and organized manner. Your teaching style is impeccable, thank you.

    This is sad and funny to me as a professional technician. I have paid for courses like this in the past, and this is vastly superior. These types of circuits are fundamental, and clear explanations really help comprehension. I am looking forward to moving through your series as I move towards the PLC series.

    I don’t understand why more people don’t take advantage of videos like these. I’m studying for a test for a promotion and this video has better information than the electrical schooling I PAID for.

    Thank you for this video. I am a Ranken Technical graduate from St Louis, Missouri. Been out of school for 5 years & most been doing apartment & hotel maintenance. Not much PLC work since my first year out of school. This definitely helped me brush up & get more confident as I prepare to take this quiz for a new job working in an industrial facility. Didn't even have to get out my notes from school, this video helped all the information in the back of my head rush to the front if my head...

    Thanks for explaining this. While I am used to reading standard standard electrical schemactics, I had been throughly confused by this weird schemactic that came with a piece of used equipment I had purchased. Now I know what it was and will better understand how to interpret one in the future.

  • @nishyu9101
    @nishyu9101 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You are good! i was kindof frustrated with the general basics videos that i found about ladder logics and i was wondering why they didn't talk about the actual working ofthe keys, switches and the logic behind it!
    This has been Extremely Helpful and i'd recommend it to my friends for sure.

    So glad I found this. My instructor for electromechanical control systems just reads off of power points. He should recommend your video. It's fantastic. Easy to follow and great explanations. Btw, you just helped me with a very similar hw that I couldn't quite figure out. It has to do with 2 solenoids and a light coming on to show which one is active. I think my circuit will work now. I even added the e-stop. 10 million thank yous!!! Subscribed. :)

    Being a few weeks out from completing my Industrial Maintenance Degree; I gotta say I enjoyed the tutorial and clearly understood everything you was explaining. As you mentioned it is very overwhelming in the beginning but don’t panic, allow your brain to process everything for a couple weeks, if it were easy everyone would be doing it.

    @sethmuse6838 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Outstanding lecture! The hard wired e-stop circuit shown here is the most straightforward way to stop a machine. Also NFPA-79 requires that e-stops be normally closed contacts, and cannot be integrated through a PLC. However, a safety relay or safety PLC (like a PILZ) may be used since they are designed for that purpose. I have seen machines that use normally open contacts for the e-stop and use the regular PLC to stop the machine without cutting power to the control transformer. These will not pass an electrical inspection. Thank you for demonstrating the correct way to control!

    • @bigbadtech

    and also the part with the limit switch was a little hard to follow in terms how how it was being used
