contact
Input determines the initial state of the system.
Output functions either ON/OFF depending on the logic of the input
combination.
Auxiliary contact is dependent to the state of the device that they are
into. It changes its initial state from close to open or vice versa once
the device is activated

MOTOR CONTROL COMPONENTS
SWITCH
Switch is an electrical device that can break and connect an
electrical circuit, as well as interrupting the flow of current or divert
it from one conductor to the other.
Types of switches typically
used in motor control
applications:
1. Pushbutton switch
2. Limit switch
3. Selector switch
4. Footswitch
5. Toggle switch

Auxiliary
A magnetic contactor is an contact(s)
electrically controlled switch
used for switching a power
circuit. It has main contacts
used for power circuit and
auxiliary contact used for
control circuit.

CONTROL RELAY
A relay is an
electrically operated
switch. The principle of
operation is similar to
that of the contactor

THERMAL OVERLOAD RELAY
Characteristics:
1. Allow harmless temporary overloads (such as
motor starting) without disrupting the circuit.
Electronic overcurrent
relay is used to protect
the motor against
overload.
Unlike thermal overload Typical installation diagram for EOCR
relay this component
uses current to trigger
once there is overload.

PHASE LOSS/ PHASE
SEQUENCE RELAY
In 3-phase system, phase loss
Is the event when one or two
phases is/are disconnected in
the main supply. Phase
sequence on the other hand
is when two of the phases are
interchanged resulting to a
reverse rotation of a 3-phase
motor.
Phase control relays monitor:

WORKING WITH TRANSMITTERS
IN MOTOR CONTROL
Example of composite system where two separate devices are
integrated together to perform the desired function.
Example: The specs indicate that the controller needs PT100 type thermocouple to
operate
Example of stand-alone unit.
