This caused some disconnect in the early stages of curriculumdevelopment. Additionally, the pilot group got a late start with this activity, even with thecurriculum that was feasible to develop with the HAS 200’s current capabilities

For example analog variables are speed (rpm, rps,and m/s), torque (N-m, ft-lb), input power (W, kW), output load (W, kW, and HP), temperature(°C, °F), controlled variable (frequency, f) of the induction motor etc. The digital signals areON/OFF, events, YES/NO, motor start (START SW), motor stop (STOP SW) signals etc. Theseanalog and digital variables are converted in to standard currents and voltage signals. Generally,these standard analog signals are 4 – 20 mA DC current, 1 – 5 VDC or 0 to 10 VDC voltage anddigital signals are 0 and 5 VDC, 0 and 10 VDC and or 0 and 115 VAC and so on.
