In this lesson we'll take an introductory look at ladder logic diagrams, the principle means electrically controlled systems use to document and convey not only connection of individual devices making up the system but also the function of that system. Additionally, this lecture includes coverage of a handy configuration called a holding circuit. (Full lecture)

  • Excellent lecture. I've not been able to fully grasp ladder logic for a long time--especially holding circuits, but you have explained it thoroughly and in an extremely well laid out and organized manner. Your teaching style is impeccable, thank you.

  • This is sad and funny to me as a professional technician. I have paid for courses like this in the past, and this is vastly superior. These types of circuits are fundamental, and clear explanations really help comprehension. I am looking forward to moving through your series as I move towards the PLC series.

  • Thank you for this video. I am a Ranken Technical graduate from St Louis, Missouri. Been out of school for 5 years & most been doing apartment & hotel maintenance. Not much PLC work since my first year out of school. This definitely helped me brush up & get more confident as I prepare to take this quiz for a new job working in an industrial facility. Didn't even have to get out my notes from school, this video helped all the information in the back of my head rush to the front if my head...

As you mentioned it is very overwhelming in the beginning but don’t panic, allow your brain to process everything for a couple weeks, if it were easy everyone would be doing it.

Btw, you just helped me with a very similar hw that I couldn't quite figure out. It has to do with 2 solenoids and a light coming on to show which one is active. I think my circuit will work now. I even added the e-stop. 10 million thank yous!!! Subscribed. :)

  • Outstanding lecture! The hard wired e-stop circuit shown here is the most straightforward way to stop a machine. Also NFPA-79 requires that e-stops be normally closed contacts, and cannot be integrated through a PLC. However, a safety relay or safety PLC (like a PILZ) may be used since they are designed for that purpose. I have seen machines that use normally open contacts for the e-stop and use the regular PLC to stop the machine without cutting power to the control transformer. These will not pass an electrical inspection. Thank you for demonstrating the correct way to control!
