what will happen if transmitter wire get
shoted?

Answer Posted / carl_ellis

Part I.
Let's assume the question involves a 2 wire, loop powered
transmitter powered by a 24Vdc power supply in series with
the transmitter and a load resistor across the analog input
of the receiver device.

The loop current is nominally 4-20mA.
The power supply negative is wired to the analog input
negative.
The short puts a positive 24Vdc on the (+) side of the
analog input.

The load resistor for the analog input is across the (+)
and (-) terminals, so the resistor now 'sees' 24Vdc across
its 250 ohms.

Part II. extra credit. Calculate the wattage spec needed
for a 250 ohm resistor to survive the short circuit in the
2 wire, loop powered cable.

In VVVF DRIVES VOLTAGE IS ALSO VARY WITH THE FREQUENCY. HOW? WHAT IS THE DIRECT FORMULA RELATING THESE TWO.

A PLC is programmed to drive three motors A, B and C as follows : After running motor A for an hour, motor B should get ON and motor A should get OFF. And after running motor B for an hour, motor C should get ON and motor B should get OFF. And after running motor C for an hour, motor A should get ON and motor C should get OFF. (That is, a cyclic repetition with time period one hour) Now, the second condition is: If any motor gone faulty and is tripped, the consecutive motor should get ON and the faulty (tripped) motor should be eliminated from cyclic repetition. The remaining two motors should bear the cyclic repetition of one hour each. (For healthy motor take logic as high and for tripped motor take logic as low) Now, the third condition is: When motor A load(Amps) exceeds 60% of its rated load, motor B should get ON in parallel to motor A. And when both motors A & B are running in parallel, and if their load exceeds 60% of their rated load, motor C should also start in parallel to A & B. [Here the cyclic repetition is eliminated, until their loads become normal(40%)] [Take logic high(1) for load at 60% and logic low(0) for load at 40%] Now draw a flow chart or a ladder diagram to fulfill the above condition.
