This was a really really fun class! The hands-on approach of this course in conjuction with the chalenges found in

Ladder Diagram Programming and configuration of Variable Frequency Drivers and Allen-Bradley controlers,

combined with an array of motors, dynamometers, contactors, lights, timers, buzzers and lots of lots of push bottons,

made this class my number one favorite!

 

With the additional and unique opportunity that my lab partners and I had in putting together the newly arrived Allen-Bradley

controlers, LabView cabinnets, communication ports and contacters, as part of our extra curriculim assigment, it gave me an

appretiation for this field and its limitless applications in our "wired" world.

 

 

Project_1_Schematic

Schematic of Project 2, where we had two

different inductor motors - one synchronous and

the other one asynchronuous, connected to a VFD and a 2lb load.

Different acceleration rates had to be implemented so that

the motors would change speed, reverse and or stop

within a specified time window while keeping

certain frequecy charecteristics.

A picture follows bellow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Project_2_SchematicSchematic of Project 1, where we had three different

3 phase motors being activated at different time

from each other, with different frequencies

and RPM's of operation, following the

directives of our Ladder Diagram

Program and overrides of

strategically placed

push buttons.
