Introduction

Now that you know how to build a circuit, you will design and build your own circuit. This circuit must have a light that illuminates when a maintained switch is closed AND Button 1 OR Button 2 OR Button 3 is pressed. (There is a hint in those instructions if you haven't caught it already.)

The following video will provide more instructions and information about your assignment.

 

 

Lab Instructions

  1. Watch the video introduction to this lab.
  2. Draw a schematic diagram, in Automation Studio or by hand, that represents a circuit that will operate as described above. Make sure your circuit works in simulation before moving on to the next step.
  3. Unplug the Motor Controls trainer.
  4. Build the circuit on the Motor Controls trainer.
  5. Plug in and turn on the Motor Controls trainer.
  6. Test the circuit.
  7.  When the maintained switch is closed and Button 1, Button 2, Button 3 is pressed, a light illuminates.
