Title: Lab 2-4: The "NOT" Circuit
Course: Electrical Motor Controls (Sandbox) > Section: Module 2: Control Logic, 8 hr

Introduction

Now that you know how to make a light illuminate by pressing a button, you will build a circuit that causes the light to turn off when the button is pressed. The light will be on while the button is not pressed.

The following video will walk you through the steps of building the circuit according to the schematic shown below.

Lab Instructions

1. Watch the video introduction to this lab.
2. Draw a schematic 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 on the Motor Controls trainer.
5. Plug in and turn on the Motor Controls trainer.
6. Test the circuit.
7. The light is illuminated until a user presses the button.
