PART V | LESSON 21: POWER AND NETWORKS MATERIAL HANDLING ACADEMY

Lesson 21 Worksheet: Power and Networks

Sort the components into their voltage world first, from memory, before you flip back to check yourself. Then assign the network traffic, then write the Riverside note.

Sort the Components: 480V AC or 24V DC

The system lives in two electrical worlds. High-voltage AC, typically 480-volt three-phase, feeds the big motors, the sorter drive, and the panels. Low-voltage DC, typically 24 volts, runs the controls. Mark which world each component below draws its power from.

What Turns 480 into 24?

One line, from the reading: name the thing inside the control panel that turns the high-voltage feed into the 24-volt control domain.

Assign the Network Traffic

One physical industrial network can carry both ordinary control and safety-rated control at once. Write what each protocol carries, in your own words, from the reading.

EtherNet/IP carries
CIP Safety carries
