System Approach in the Classroom: Electrical Engineering Sample Lesson What are the underlying physical principles of the component? Voltage Current Magnetic Field Force Movement Copyright © Siemens AG 2011. All rights reserved Siemens Professional Education

System Approach in the Classroom: Electrical Engineering Sample Lesson Learning how to use datasheets, internet, training material, and books to discuss physical characteristics, ie voltages, power consumptions, life cycles Copyright © Siemens AG 2011. All rights reserved Siemens Professional Education

System Approach in the Classroom: Electrical Engineering Sample Lesson Troubleshooting Example: Gear is present at the gate. Gate does not open. Status indicator • Is the PLC output set to open the gate? (PLC output • Is voltage applied to the solenoid? module) is on. Voltage A 1 A 2 = 0 V not ok, should be 24 V Check cable between PLC output and solenoid Copyright © Siemens AG 2011. All rights reserved Seite 22 3/15/2018 Siemens Professional Education

System Approach in the Classroom: Electrical Engineering Sample Lesson Troubleshooting Strategies • Short and clear description of the problem • Gear(s) present? Learning Steps • Developing strategies to find out the malfunction in the system, not only in this component • Deepen the strategies by using simulation tools • Is (are) the present gear(s) detected? • Does the sensor send a signal to the PLC? • Is voltage applied to the PLC output? • Is voltage applied to the solenoid? Copyright © Siemens AG 2011. All rights reserved Seite 23 3/15/2018 Siemens Professional Education

System Approach in the Classroom: Electrical Engineering Sample Lesson Return to the System • Where does the component appear elsewhere in the entire system? • What is its function/ purpose at each location in the machine?
