Troubleshooting Sensing Devices and Systems: Sensors are a very important part of any industrial system. Sensors are provided to the input devices that send signals to these components responsible for monitoring and controlling an industrial system. Input devices indicate when an output device can be safely turned on and how lonf they should remain on. You will learn about different types of industrial input devices and you will study some troubleshooting procedures that will prove useful when one of these devices has failed. Troubleshooting Industrial Control Systems and Output Devices: The purpose of an indistrual output device is to perform controlled work. These devices may be used to start a motor or to control the supply of pressurized air or hydraulic fluid to the actuators of a machine or a robot. In every automated industry, some tye of output device controls the functions of a machine. This study unit focuses on various forms of output devices, output modules, closed loop systems, and human/machine interfaces. These devices and systems make up the majority of today's industrial systems. This study unit will also cover troubleshooting procedures for these systems.
