Logic circuits 1
- Produce a truth table for the following logic circuit
Logic circuits 2
- A safety system uses three inputs to a logic circuit. An alarm, X, sounds if input A represents ON and input B represents OFF, or if input B represents ON and input C represents OFF.
- Produce a logic circuit and truth table to show the conditions which cause the output X to be 1.
Logic statement
X = 1 if (A = 1 AND B = NOT 1) OR (B = 1 AND C = NOT 1) this equates to A is ON and B is OFF
this equates to B is ON AND C is OFF
Boolean algebra
Logic circuits 3
- A wind turbine has a safety system which uses three inputs to a logic circuit. A certain combination of conditions results in an output, X, from the logic circuit being equal to 1. When the value of X = 1, the wind turbine is shut down.
- The following table shows which parameters are being monitored and form the three inputs to the logic circuit.
- The output, X, will have a value of 1 if any of the following combination of conditions occur:
- either turbine speed ≤ 1000 rpm and bearing temperature > 80 °C
- or turbine speed > 1000 rpm and wind velocity > 120 kph
- or bearing temperature ≤ 80 °C and wind velocity > 120 kph
TIP
1 turbine speed 1000 rpm and bearing temperature > 80 °C logic statement: (S = NOT 1 AND T = 1) 2 turbine speed > 1000 rpm and wind velocity > 120 kph logic statement: (S = 1 AND W = 1) 3 bearing temperature 80 °C and wind velocity > 120 kph logic statement: (T = NOT 1 AND W = 1)
