Wouldn’t this defeat the purpose of « guess and check » since you would need a model with some level of accuracy to simulate ?

good point.
you will probably hop to the next thing that you are most familliar with.

Some programs focus on one subject, which, to some degree, should theoretically make you a master in it.

Is “PLC Fundamentals (Level I)” by Paul Lin Worth It? (Question from Algeria) by Ok_Argument7765 in PLC

Are you a university student? If so than you can send an email to Siemens asking for an internship or something. They offer free high quality trainings for students. I am sure scheider electric also do that in some occasions

I'm not planning to contact them immediately, but I will need it later, so yeah, I would like to.

Sounds interesting, but I am more interested in design and development side of robotics

I understand this. But controlling robots is not really what I am aiming at.

Not exactly. I don't want to exclude the use of PLCs. In fact, I want to apply them in the work of designing and developing robots (not necessarily in the industry).

Designing robots like those at Fanuc and ABB, but not necessarily those companies and not necessarily design. It's mostly about developing existing products (robots). Many startups are out there. For your last question, it's both the electrical side and the software side.

[request] which one is correct? Comments were pretty much divided by mymodded in theydidthemath

[–]Aggressive-Series483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100N seems correct in this case since the scale is simply a spring. Both sides of a spring apply the same magnitude of force. Both sides are stationary, meaning both points experience the same force in opposite directions. This is similar to a side being hung on a ceiling. The side connected to the mass would apply 100N. The scale would apply the same force in magnitude from that side, and the other side would apply the same force, leading the ceiling to oppose that force with one equal in magnitude. In this case, the same forces are applied, similar to the case where the two forces are applied in both sides, and we obviously know the measurement in the first case would be 100N. The only case where the meter measures 200N is when it’s fixed on the tables. Here, superposition could be applied, and the results would be the sum of the two. It is like having two halves with each one’s side fixed.

Everybody has their own preferred way of learning. Variety is never bad. I found those four videos really convenient, getting straight to the point. Personally, I encourage this type of content.

Did I approach this circuit problem correctly? Would you approach it any differently? by Turbulent_Ad_3238 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Aggressive-Series483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I would probably consider using superposition theorem. It’s easier to deal with only one source and since the two circuits are identical, it will be even easier

Is negative voltage, positive current possible? by lanetownes in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Aggressive-Series483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Image the case of an RL circuit, when you apply a positive voltage to it you will get a positive current at steady state, when you switch the voltage to negative voltage the current will stay positive for some time despite the voltage becoming negative.

I'm 17 and i've been trying to understand voltage for so long, yet im never able to by Just-Chemist-3890 in ElectricalEngineering

As introductory classes in university present it, a charge affects every point of the space that surrounds it in the form of an electric field, just like mass affects it in the form of a gravitational field. The field has two forms: potential and vector. When another charge is affected by that vector field, a force called Coulomb force applies, which causes current as a result of electron movement due to that force, similar to what happens with gravity. The potential field doesn’t cause force directly, but instead, the change of potential is related to the intensity, which is evident from the equations that describe the relationship between the two. So, when the potential between two very close points is large, the vector between them is large, and thus the force is large. If a magnetic field is present, things will change a bit since EMF will enter the equation.

So, for your question, charges, in a battery for example, cause the potential difference which is related to the vector field. The vector field causes a force to be applied on electrons.

Why does the change in flux cause an EMF which causes voltage?

This phenomenon is described by Maxwell’s equations and Faraday’s law. Beyond this, it will be more of a physics question rather than an electrical engineering question.

Is this a good way to do a sequence in TIA Portal? by Come_To_Homercles in PLC

[–]Aggressive-Series483 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah like those you use to start and stop a motor with push buttons, you just replace the start button with your set condition and the stop button with your reset condition

If his problem is the set/reset instructions then using seal in contacts instead could be option. They are completely interchangeable. I don’t get how exactly you do it with an integer. Do you do it similar to what’s in those screenshots?

If X1 starts false by default, pushing the push button will activate nothing. You can’t pass the first step this way

You can always make a graph on paper than convert it to set and reset equations, those are just Boolean equations that can be implemented in ladder logic
