Module 3 - Pneumatics Activity 1

1. The document provides instructions for an activity to understand controlling an electric bulb using different types of switches, including pushbutton switches (normally open and normally closed), detent switches (normally open and normally closed), and a changeover switch. 2. Students will use a DC power supply and indicator unit to construct circuits with the switches and observe the on/off behavior of a lamp. They will write observations and explanations for the behavior with each type of switch. 3. The objective is for students to understand using a DC power supply and different switch configurations to control a circuit and lamp. Students will draw conclusions about controlling circuits using various switch types.

Module 3
Activity 01 - Controlling an electric bulb lighting using different types of
switches

Objective:
• Understanding and using the DC power supply.
• The student should be able to use of the pushbutton switches (NO and NC).
• The student should be able to use of detent switches (NO and NC).
• The student should be able to use of changeover switch.
• The student should be able to construct the circuit using the FluidSim software

Background:
The student should know how to use the Pushbutton, detent and changeover switches
that will be used to switch on/off a lamp using different circuit configurations.

Required components:
1- DC power supply

2- Indicator unit

3- Switch block

Procedures:
1. Prepare the components according to
the components list.
2. From the switch block, use a
pushbutton switch to connect the first
two circuits as in Figure 1.
• Pushbutton switch, normally open.
Press the switch on/off and explain
what happens to the lamp.

• Pushbutton, Normally closed switch.
Press the switch on/off and explain
what happens to lamp.

3. From the switch block, use a detent


switch to connect the second two
circuits as in Figure.
• Detent switch, normally open. Press
the switch and note what happens to
the lamp.
……………………………………………………………
……………………………………………………………

Figure 2
• Detent switch normally closed. Press
the switch and note what happens to
the lamp.

4. Use a limit switch (as a changeover


switch) to connect the circuit as in
Fig.3.

Press the switch and see how the switch


is used to control two circuits at a time.
Write your comments.
