Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The case study of the initial conditions is given that about a telescope aiming or star tracking mechanism.
Calculation:
This is motion generation mainly todigging a trench, say; the location and bucket alignment must becontrolled.
The working mechanism in the line diagram is shown below.
c.
To Define:The following example of thermostat adjusting mechanism case study given in the problem.
Explanation of Solution
This thermostat adjusting mechanism shows a Function generation.Here the output is a chosen function of input over input range.

It is used in many different engineering applications. A familiar example will be a piston engine. In Figure 1, a basic slider- crank mechanism is shown. В b dạc Figure 1. A basic slider-crank mechanism 0< 0< 2n; b = 20 cm; I= 50 cm 1- Find the angle of Ø and the distance of dAC as a function of 0. 2- If crank AB has a rotational speed of w = 1000 rev/min; find velocity of C (Vc) and velocity and acceleration of link BC (vBC & aBC)arrow_forwardI want you to draw a ladder logic diagram of a garage door to control it by PLC. In my case we have different inputs and outputs and all of them gotta be used in the diagram. I can perfectly interpret the diagram so no need to explain it, I will just require you to draw it. INPUTS : open push button ( OPB ) - close push button ( CPB ) - open limit switch ( OLS ) - close limit switch ( CLS ) - obstacle detection sensor ( ODS ) - safety sensor ( SS ) - emergency stop push button ( ESPB ) - reset button ( RB ) OUTPUTS : motor starts ( MS ) - motor stops ( MSTP ) - motor forward ( MF ) - motor reverse ( MR ) - Error display ( ER ) OPERATİNG MODES : automatic mode ( AM ) - manual mode ( MM ) NECESSARY TIMERS : T1 ( delay door movement after obstacle detection ) - T2 ( delay door movement after reversing ) Here is my excercise for today. Please I am requiring a good logic diagram taking into consideration all what was mentioned before. so to sum up, I want you to write a logic ladder diagram…arrow_forward

The arm is extended (out) by energizing a solenoid valve; when the valve is de-energizes, the arm retracts (in). In the same way, a second valve closes the grip (when energized) or opens the grip (when de-energized). Here's a diagram of this "machine": Grip Air Cylinder Grip open Grip Closed Box Arm Air Cylinder Arm In Arm Out The system is really slow... it actually takes 3-4 seconds for the arm to fully extend. An engineer created the below diagram. Start Pressed Time (seconds) Box Falls - 1 -2 -3 - 4 - 5 -6 –7 -8 – 9 – 10 Extend Arm Close Grip Question (finally!). Which statement is completely true regarding this design? It uses the Master Clock scheme. Given this diagram, the arm will probably start to retract before the grip fully closes. O If the arm takes 4 seconds to retract (return), the box will be dropped "mid-flight" It uses the Domino Scheme. Things can't happen in the wrong sequence. It uses the Master Clock…arrow_forward
