Diagram Conversion

Question 1

What must occur to successfully convert a wiring diagram to a schematic diagram?

Answer 1

All contactors and relays identified;

Contacts must be identified;

Pilot devices must be labelled;

Conductors must be somehow differentiated;

Identifiers for terminal strips must be copied over.

Question 2

When will the label for a conductor change?

Answer 2

When the conductor is separated from the circuit by a device.

Question 3

What side of the schematic diagram do load devices typically occupy?

Answer 3

The right side.

Question 4

What is the easiest way to transfer a schematic diagram into a wiring diagram?

Answer 4

Transfer one conductor at a time and mark it off on the schematic when it is finished.

Question 5

Can the order of connection of components significantly change the wire length of an installation?

Answer 5

Yes, eliminating conductors in long runs can be an economical advantage to reorganizing a schematic.
