The Jog/Inch Circuit

Jogging or inching is defines as the repeated closure of a circuit to start a motor from rest for the
purpose of accomplishing small movement
The jog circuit is important to create a circuit that will allow the operator to momentarily energize the
circuit without the need of pressing the stop pushbutton. Jog circuits allow the operator to move loads
to a set position preventing the load from over traveling to the desired position. The jog circuit can be
used in almost any control circuit because it relies on momentary energizing and de-energizing of the
pilot device.

1. Determine the operation of the three-position selector switch.


Position Contact A (11-12, Open/Closed) Contact B (13-14, Open/Closed)
1 Closed Open
2 Open Open
3 Open Closed

2. Construct the Jog/Inch circuit as shown.

3. With the Selector switch in Position 1, describe the operation of the circuit.

With the selector switch in position one, the circuit operates in jog mode. Pressing the job button
completes the circuit to energize the M-1 motor.
Releasing the jog button breaks the circuit/ kills the motor. The motor only runs when the button is
pressed.
4. With the Selector switch in Position 2, describe the operation of the circuit.

Position 2- the circuit operates in Run mode. No current can flow with A and B open.
Motor M-1 runs continuously due to auxiliary contact when the circuit is complete by pressing the start
button.

5. With the Selector switch in Position 3, describe the operation of the circuit.

Position 3- the circuit operates normally where M-1 can be started and stopped by using the START
and STOP buttons. The JOG button is inactive because contact A is open.

6. Construct the self-interrupting inching circuit as shown.


7. Press and hold the INCH button. What is the result?

M-1 is energized and deenergized shortly after.

8. Release the INCH button. What is the result?

The circuit didnt change. CR-2 remains energized because of the holding circuit.
M-1 is not energized. CR-1 @ 59 and 60 are open. The circuit will stay latched until Cr-2 is interrupted.

9. Repeat Step 7.

10. Press and release the INCH quickly several times. What is the result?

Power flows to line 2 through the inch button to terminal 23 and CR-2 is energized.
Power flows through 51. M-1 energizes and deenergize. Each time the INCH button is pressed
It tries to energize CR-2.

11. Explain in detail what occurs when you press and hold the INCH button.

The INCH button is the contact switch for a moment. When its pressed it closes 2 and 23 which
energizes CR-2. Current still flows even when the INCH button is released. M-1 energizes. The circuit
works briefly due to the delay relay CR-1 starting. M-1 deenergizes.
B. Sequence Start and Stop

When two or more machines are used in sequence, there must be control of both machines. If two
conveyor belts in series are moving packages and one machine stops, the other must stop or you will
have a package pile up. To avoid this machines or conveyors that operate in series are usually arranged
to stop and start in sequence.

1. Construct the sequence start and stop circuit. The O.L. contact for conveyor 2 is imaginary. It shows
where it should be placed if we had another on the trainer.

2. Press the blue start button for conveyor 2. What is the result?

Pressing the START button starts conveyor 2 and latches in run state. Conveyor 1 does not start due
to the open contact.

3. Press the green start button for conveyor 1. What is the result?

Conveyor 1 did not start because the circuit to M-1 is not complete.

4. Press the blue start button for conveyor 2. What is the result?

Conveyor 2 started and latched in run. Conveyor 2 continues to run.

5. Press both stop buttons. Describe the above results in one sentence.

Both conveyors stop.


6. Start both conveyors. Press the red stop button for conveyor 2. What is the result?

Conveyor 2 stops, but conveyor 1 continue to run.

7. Press the start button for conveyor 2.


8. Press the stop button for conveyor 1. What is the result?

Conveyor 2 will start and latch conveyor 2 in run. Pressing the stop button for conveyor 1 will stop
conveyor 1 while conveyor 2 continues to run.

9. Explain in detail the operation of this circuit.

Start button
1. The circuit is completed and energize CR-1
2. Conveyor 2 starts after CR-1 energizes motor 2.
3. CR-1 closes and latch the circuit allowing conveyor 2 to run.
Stop button
1. Conveyor 1 is open and the control relay is deenergized.

C. Common Control Sequence control of three conveyors.

1. Construct the Common Control Sequence control circuit.


2. Press the start button for conveyor 2 and then conveyor 3. What is the result?
Only conveyor 2 starts. Conveyor 3 circuit needs contact 54 to be closed; this happens when conveyor 1 is
started.

3. Press the start button for conveyor 1. What is the result?

Conveyor 1 starts and 54 closes which makes conveyors 2 and 3 operate.

4. Press the start button for conveyor 3. What is the result?

Nothing happens because contact 54 is open breaking the circuit which energize CR-2 for conveyor 3.

5. Press the start button for conveyor 2. What is the result?

Contact 30 closes.

6. Press the start button for conveyor 3. What is the result?

Contact 27 closes and power flows through CR-1 which activates the relay.

7. Press either stop button. What is the result?

All conveyors stops immediately.

8. Describe in detail the operation of this circuit.

This circuit is designed to for conveyor 1 to run in order to start conveyor 2 and enable conveyor 2 to
run for conveyor 3 to start.
