Introduction and Aims We will
be modelling a simple Closed
Loop Control System to electrically open a door. It is similar
to the type of circuit used on trains and buses. Subsystem Circuit and Block Diagram
Modelling the System/Circuit There are different ways to model and test circuits before components are soldered to a P.C.B.. Modelling is an important stage as it helps you spot any problems and make modifications more easily. Method 1: Breadboard Using this method, components are pushed into the interconnected holes as shown in the diagram below. The lines shown, indicate which holes are internally connected. Method 2: Computer Simulation To begin, ask your supervisor if circuit simulation software is available on your PC. This method allows you to build up your circuits quickly and cheaply in a virtual environment but will not give you hands-on experience of the components you will be using when finally soldering your P.C.B.. Method 3: Using OnTrack modelling hardware
