Introduction

Often, motors need to be started after delays. The circuit (schematic) shown below energizes the coil for M1, then after 4 seconds, it energizes the coil for M2.

You will now build a circuit using delays. The following video will walk you through the steps of building the circuit according to the schematic shown below. Be sure to set the timing relay for 4 seconds.

Lab Instructions

1. Watch the video introduction to this lab.
2. Draw the schematic in Automation Studio, then simulate circuit operation.
3. Unplug the Motor Controls trainer.
4. Build the circuit on the Motor Controls trainer.
5. Plug in and turn on the Motor Controls trainer.
6. Test the circuit.
7. The circuit energizes the coil for M1, then after 4 seconds (a delayed start), it energizes the coil for M2.

Submission

To complete this lab, submit a 30-second video following the criteria found in the rubric. If you are working with another student, each of you must record and submit your own video.
