The advantage of the point to point method of connecting the circuit components.
Explanation of Solution
The point to point method is the method which is used to install the circuit components in the control circuit. The wire numbers are given in this method to the wires of the control circuit but not the load circuit. Where all the components are located in the motor circuit and are represented by the dashed lines.
The advantages of the point to point method is that this method is used to show the actual position of the wire of the component that reduces the wastage of the wire.
The component that are insider the control circuit and the outside the circuit can easily be distinguished.
Also, the point to point method show the designation of the wires and the tags.
In this method the troubleshooting and the servicing is easy as the wire numbers are given to the wire, also the components are easy to be identified as the wires are tagged and labelled.
Thus, the advantage of the point to point method is described.

- Name Section 5-2: Line Diagrams-Signals, Decisions, and Actions In the following application, a temperature switch controls a heating contactor and a flow switch is used to ensure there is enough air flow. If there is not enough air flow, an alarm is sounded. Complete the required information. 1. List all the signal devices in the circuit. 2. List all the action devices in the circuit. 3. List the decision part of the circuit that automatically sounds the alarm if there is a problem. 4. When the heating element is on during normal operation, is the flow switch open or closed?

- A pick and Place machine is being used to transfer a box. The arm is extended (out) by energizing a solenoid valve; when the valve is de-energizes, the arm retracts (in). In the same way, a second valve closes the grip (when energized) or opens the grip (when de-energized). Here's a diagram of this "machine": Grip Air Cylinder Grip open Grip Closed Box Arm Air Cylinder Arm In Arm Out The system is really slow... it actually takes 3-4 seconds for the arm to fully extend. An engineer created the below diagram. Start Pressed Time (seconds) Box Falls - 1 -2 -3 - 4 - 5 -6 –7 -8 – 9 – 10 Extend Arm Close Grip Question (finally!). Which statement is completely true regarding this design? It uses the Master Clock scheme. Given this diagram, the arm will probably start to retract before the grip fully closes. O If the arm takes 4 seconds to retract (return), the box will be dropped "mid-flight" It uses the Domino Scheme. Things can't happen in the wrong sequence. It uses the Master Clock…arrow_forwardPneumatics Bending Tool Problem: Sheet metal is to be bended on a pneumatically actuated bending rig. After it has been clamped the piece is initially bent by a double-acting cylinder A and subsequently bent into the finished form by cylinder B. The sequence is initiated manually by a push button. The circuit must be so constructed that each time a start signal is given a full cycle is completed. Positional Sketch: 1.0 2,0 Electro-pneumatics Sequential Circuit Problem: Initial position all cylinder are retracted. Pressing the start pushbutton makes 5 cycles. After making 5 cycles lamp is energized for 3 secs. Cycle Operation: Cylinder A extend and hold the work piece. Cylinder B extend for 5 secs. Then retract. Cylinder A retract.arrow_forwardWhat is the disadvantage of driving a junction transistor into saturation?arrow_forward
