Logic elements

Question 1

How do you use logic elements?

Answer 1

Six ways of putting input/relay switches to a circuit. Forming basic blocks for complex sequences

Question 2

What are the elements ?

Answer 2

AND, OR, NOT, NOR, NAND, memory

Question 3

AND logic circuit

What’s an application?

Answer 3

Made of two normally open switches wired in series.

Application is a two hand circuit to protect the user’s hands (only working if both hands press pushbuttons)

Question 4

OR logic circuit

What’s an application?

Answer 4

Made of two normally open switches wired parallel (meaning they’re connected to the flow through either)
Application is a button, or another, acting as a start button where one doesn’t need to be near the machine

Question 5

NOT logic circuit

What’s an application?

Answer 5

Made of one normally closed switch wired in series with output (the output’s on when input isn’t vis versa)
Application is an emergency stop pushbutton

Question 6

NOR logic circuit

What’s an application?

Answer 6

Made of two, or more, normally closed switches wired in series with output
Application are multiple stop pushbuttons in a circuit; assembly line

Question 7

NAND logic circuit

What’s an application?

Answer 7

Made of two or more normally closed input switches wired in parallel with output (opening either switches will keep output powered; opening both will depower)
Application is the interior light of a car when a door is opened

Question 8

Memory logic circuit

What’s used to make it happen?

Answer 8

Is used to output power after input signal is removed

The device used is called an electrical relay
