It is very obvious from the comments posted in this thread that the people driving the use of the RaspberryPi as a PLC training tool have not conducted any professional‚ electrical and electronic engineering research into the design criteria required for an educational PLC or are prepared to acknowledge the legally required European Union safety compliance to IEC61508 and IEC 611313. A PLC’s functional criterion is an industrial control device used to automate electrically driven machinery

Electrical circuit is a path which electrons from a voltage or current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the "source" of electrons. The point where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is called the "return" or "earth ground". The exit point is called the "return" because electrons always end up at the source when they complete the path of an electrical circuit. The part of an

I picked up my pencil- this was not an electrical engineering exam at school: instead of lounging at the beach with my friends‚ I had chosen to spend my summer at Specialised Power Systems (“SPS”)‚ designing and building Mr. Rowleys‘s switchboard. As the engineers and I gathered around and started

conveniently designed conductive disks allow the electrical load of the generator to be fed either with alternating current or direct current. the loop terminals is sinusoidal with zero mean value (Fig. 2). Its frequency is equal to the number of revolutions per second executed by the loop. Each terminal of the loop is connected to a metallic ring. The contacts with rings are made by means of fixed brushes. If the brushes are connected to an electrical load‚ an alternating current will be established

A Career in Electrical Engineering A career in electrical engineering means solving problems associated with large-scale electrical systems. Sometimes the term is used to include electronic engineering but jobs in this field involve small scale systems such as computers and integrated circuits.it might be said that a job in electronic engineering involves transmitting information and a job in electrical engineering involves transmitting energy. Alternatively electronics power transmission control

Analysis of two and four-lead resistance measurements Johnny Greavu University of Minnesota-Twin Cities September 29‚ 2014 Introduction We measured the resistance per foot of a wire using setups of both two and four test leads in tandem with a digital voltmeter (DVM) and compared their accuracy. While resistance can be determined by measuring voltage and current separately‚ it can also be measured more simply and directly using the resistance measuring feature available to some digital voltmeters
