## Introduction to Schematic Diagrams

Why do we spend so much time building schematic diagrams in Automation Studio?

Because the ability to read schematic diagrams is key to the success of a person going into the Control Systems field at all levels. Engineers, Technicians, Operators - it's a skill they all need to have. And you're building that skill here, as it's one of the objectives of this course.

## Demonstration of How to Build a Schematic

Here is a demo of how to build a schematic of a Typical Motor Control Circuit in Automation Studio, including how to connect contacts to coils so that while simulating circuit operation, the contact closes when the coil is energized, just like the starters actually work.
