Relay. Automotive-style miniature relay, dust cover is taken off A relay is an electrically operated switch.

Relay

Many relays use an electromagnet to mechanically operate a switch, but other operating principles are also used, such as solid-state relays. Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a low-power signal (with complete electrical isolation between control and controlled circuits), or where several circuits must be controlled by one signal. The first relays were used in long distance telegraph circuits as amplifiers: they repeated the signal coming in from one circuit and re-transmitted it on another circuit. Relays were used extensively in telephone exchanges and early computers to perform logical operations. A type of relay that can handle the high power required to directly control an electric motor or other loads is called a contactor. Basic design and operation[edit] Simple electromechanical relay. Small "cradle" relay often used in electronics.

Joseph Henry invents relay 1835. Biography[edit] Historical marker in Academy Park (Albany, New York) commemorating Henry's work with electricity.

Joseph Henry invents relay 1835

Henry excelled at his studies (so much so, that he would often help his teachers teach science) and in 1826 was appointed Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy at The Albany Academy by Principal T. Romeyn Beck. Some of his most important research was conducted in this new position. His curiosity about terrestrial magnetism led him to experiment with magnetism in general. Joseph Henry, taken between 1865 and 1878, possibly by Mathew Brady. Using his newly developed electromagnetic principle, Henry in 1831 created one of the first machines to use electromagnetism for motion. This apparatus allowed Henry to recognize the property of self inductance. Influences in aeronautics[edit] Timeline of electromagnetic theory. The timeline of electromagnetism, that is the timeline of the human understanding of electromagnetic forces, dates back over two thousand years ago.

Timeline of electromagnetic theory

It lists, within the history of electromagnetism, the associated theories, technology, and events. Ancient history[edit] 6th century BC: Thales of Miletus is credited with observing that rubbing fur on various substances, such as amber, would cause an attraction between the two, which is now known to be caused by static electricity. The Ancient Greeks noted that the amber buttons could attract light objects such as hair and that if the amber was rubbed sufficiently a spark would jump. 3rd century BC: the Baghdad Battery is dated from this period. How Does A Relay Work. FAQ: RELAYS; how they work and how to wire it up... There seem to be many members who don't know what a relay is, or don't know how to wire one in. this guide is here to help solve that issue...what is a relay?

FAQ: RELAYS; how they work and how to wire it up...

-a relay is a device that allows you to control a high-current electrical load with a low-current electrical 'signal'. they are usually electro-magnetic, but are also available in solid-state forms. they can be used with a switch (to allow control of a high-current load with a small switch) or they can be hooked up to a switched power source in the car like the ignition or accessory power circuits (to allow power to be switched on/off automatically with the ignition key).Why do I need a relay?

I want to use the relay to turn on/off with the car. how do I hook that up? Working of Relays-How Relay works,Basics,Design,Construction,Application. In this article, the basics of a relay like energized relay and de-energized relay are explained in detail.

Also, the design, construction, working, applications, and also relay selection is explained in detail. What is a relay? We know that most of the high end industrial application devices have relays for their effective working. Relays are simple switches which are operated both electrically and mechanically. Relays consist of a n electromagnet and also a set of contacts. How Relays Work. 13 March 2010 Author: Giorgos Lazaridis How Relays Work Some types of relays I've receive many emails concerning this subject.

Index of - Software. Training Courses. Formal training is expensive and have a lot of constraints like traveling distance, location, accommodation, time off to attend the training.

Training Courses

This is where self study and self training courses comes in very handy but they must be affordable, very comprehensive and they must cater for a wide spectrum of people. Most importantly you must have support, if you get stuck you need someone to point you in the right direction. Many organisations and companies steer away from providing support and instead they create online forums where you can post your question and then the forum members help each other. PICAXE Self Training Course. If you want to learn how to use the PICAXE microcontroller and you want to master it on your own without having to attend workshops or classes, there aren’t that many options available to you. You can purchase one of the training kits or boards but they don’t come with a comprehensive training course only a compact booklet, showing a couple of circuit diagrams.

If you’re a beginner you will find it very difficult to get started and even the very basics will be daunting. The PICAXE Self Training Course from Technology Tutor will fill this void. Most schools, colleges and universities are on tight budgets and find it difficult to obtain affordable technology training material and equipment. The PICAXE Self Training Course kit is very good value for money and everything possible has been done to keep costs down.

Programming Editor (BAS805) - Software. Windows Compatible Not Mac Compatible Not Linux Compatible BAS805 FREE Download Print Page Product Details. Programming in basic. BASIC. BASIC (an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use. In 1964, John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz designed the original BASIC language at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. They wanted to enable students in fields other than science and mathematics to use computers. At the time, nearly all use of computers required writing custom software, which was something only scientists and mathematicians tended to learn how to use.

Versions of BASIC became widespread on microcomputers in the mid-1970s and 1980s. List of BASIC dialects. Dialects[edit] 0 - 9[edit] 1771-DB BASIC—Allen-Bradley PLC industrial controller BASIC module; Intel BASIC-52 extended with PLC-specific calls A[edit] B[edit] PICAXE. PICAXE is the name of a UK-sourced microcontroller system based on a range of Microchip PICs. PICAXE chips are made by Revolution Education (Rev-Ed). Hardware[edit] General[edit] There are currently seven PICAXE variants of differing pin counts from 8 to 40 pins and are available in DIL and surface mount packages.[1] Programming language[edit] Analog-to-digital converter. Srlatch - BASIC Commands. Name: srlatch Syntax: SRLATCH config1, config2. NOR gate. The NOR gate is a digital logic gate that implements logical NOR - it behaves according to the truth table to the right. Sequential logic. Sequential logic is used to construct finite state machines, a basic building block in all digital circuitry, as well as memory circuits and other devices.

Virtually all circuits in practical digital devices are a mixture of combinational and sequential logic. Flip-flop (electronics) An animated interactive SR latch (R1, R2 = 1 kΩ R3, R4 = 10 kΩ). Excitation table. In electronics design, an excitation table shows the minimum inputs that are necessary to generate a particular next state when the current state is known. They are similar to truth tables and state tables, but rearrange the data so that the current state and next state are next to each other on the left-hand side of the table, and the inputs needed to make that state change happen are shown on the right side of the table.

State transition table. In automata theory and sequential logic, a state transition table is a table showing what state (or states in the case of a nondeterministic finite automaton) a finite semiautomaton or finite state machine will move to, based on the current state and other inputs. A state table is essentially a truth table in which some of the inputs are the current state, and the outputs include the next state, along with other outputs. Index of - BASIC Commands.
