Title: Lab 1-2: Second Circuit
Course: Electrical Motor Controls (Sandbox) > Section: Module 1: Introduction to Motor Controls, 6 hr

Introduction

Now that you have built your first circuit, which allows a user to turn a light on, you will build a circuit that creates a buzzing sound. You will also create your own ladder diagram, without having an example schematic, that will energize the buzzer when a button is pressed.

The following video will walk you through the steps of building the circuit.

Lab Instructions

1. Watch the video introduction to this lab.
2. Draw a schematic/ladder diagram, in Automation Studio or by hand, that represents a circuit that will operate as described in the video.
3. Unplug the Motor Controls trainer.
4. Build the circuit represented by the schematic you drew on the Motor Controls trainer.
5. Plug in and turn on the Motor Controls trainer.
6. Test the circuit.
7. When a user presses the button, the buzzer buzzes.

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.
