Excellent lecture. I've not been able to fully grasp ladder logic for a long time--especially holding circuits, but you have explained it thoroughly and in an extremely well laid out and organized manner. Your teaching style is impeccable, thank you.

@bigbadtech Would love to! But I live in Phoenix now. Finished a MS in EE at ASU and I work in Tesla's battery dept (Megapacks Utility scale). All these levels of education and CGCC still boasts the most technically adept teacher I've had.

I don’t understand why more people don’t take advantage of videos like these. I’m studying for a test for a promotion and this video has better information than the electrical schooling I PAID for.

Glad you're making use of this material. Tell your friends!

This is sad and funny to me as a professional technician. I have paid for courses like this in the past, and this is vastly superior. These types of circuits are fundamental, and clear explanations really help comprehension. I am looking forward to moving through your series as I move towards the PLC series.

As a person with knowledge in the subject I can say with confidence that the way Jim approaches the subject is the best that I ever seen , this channel is treasure of resources.

Finished school and started a job in a steel mill.. overwhelming.. revisiting the basics is helping me..

This is absolutely amazing tutorial. I have just graduated from college with an Electrical Engineering degree. I want to make my career in Automation Industry. Thanks for the help.

you are so right, the first time i tried to dive right in and understand this it was very frustrating but i put my time in and now its like, yeah this is definitely making perfect sense thank you for making such a good and thorough teaching channel and you cover so very much for someone like myself who wants to jump from being a welder to working with electricity

Excellent tutorial. Sincerely appreciated!

Finally someone who can break down schematic diagrams to the basics and explain with clarity. Youre amazing!

Thank you so much I can't believe your 4 year old video is still helping people including me thanks alot you explain very very well keep it up !

Excellent job Jim. Thanks so much for sharing. I'm a self learner. Your tutorial kept me motivated and made my learning process easy going.

Excellent video! Thanks for making this information available publicly.

This has just become my current module topic and its all new to me. You have explained this very well and it all makes sense. Thank you !

Awesome videos you have. I finally understand ladder logic and complex circuits are made way, WAY easier now. Thank you!!

Thank you, Jim. You are an amazing teacher.

THANK YOU, FOR THIS VERY WELL ILLUSTRATED, AND EXPLAINED TUTORIAL, ON BASIC "LADDER LOGIC" DIAGRAMS, AND "START/STOP/HOLD/E-STOP" CONTROLS!

brilliant lecture just in old school jim pytel style. Thank you so much for such valuable contents. You're definitely making this world a even better place.

Jim you’re the man ! Excellent Tutorial 👌🏽

Thank you for this video. I am a Ranken Technical graduate from St Louis, Missouri. Been out of school for 5 years & most been doing apartment & hotel maintenance. Not much PLC work since my first year out of school. This definitely helped me brush up & get more confident as I prepare to take this quiz for a new job working in an industrial facility. Didn't even have to get out my notes from school, this video helped all the information in the back of my head rush to the front if my head...

you cover more information in a concise and helpful manner than many other people. I was a little confused when you mentioned the run using manual mode. Thank you for teaching useful concepts.

All I can say... Thanks so much, too much knowledge, be blessed

Great job. I'm an electrician apprentice 4 weeks in. Totally confused every day. Thanks for making it clear.

Best lecture ever!

You are good! i was kindof frustrated with the general basics videos that i found about ladder logics and i was wondering why they didn't talk about the actual working ofthe keys, switches and the logic behind it! This has been Extremely Helpful and i'd recommend it to my friends for sure.

Thanks for explaining this. While I am used to reading standard standard electrical schemactics, I had been throughly confused by this weird schemactic that came with a piece of used equipment I had purchased. Now I know what it was and will better understand how to interpret one in the future.

Solid video, just simply explained and goes in order perfectly

This is excellent. Thank you very much

I'm 2 weeks into an introductory Industrial Maintenance Tech course and was having some trouble with the electrical Ladder logic but after viewing this video, I finally feel more comfortable with this. Thanks for putting this out there. It really helps. All I can say is thank god for rewind...

This is a wonderful lecture. I didn't understand how it works but I can draw the ladder diagram now. Wow, I will be one of big fans of you. Thanks.

Being a few weeks out from completing my Industrial Maintenance Degree; I gotta say I enjoyed the tutorial and clearly understood everything you was explaining. As you mentioned it is very overwhelming in the beginning but don’t panic, allow your brain to process everything for a couple weeks, if it were easy everyone would be doing it.

Thank you for this. I learned quite a bit.

Great Video and to the point; Thanks.

So glad I found this. My instructor for electromechanical control systems just reads off of power points. He should recommend your video. It's fantastic. Easy to follow and great explanations. Btw, you just helped me with a very similar hw that I couldn't quite figure out. It has to do with 2 solenoids and a light coming on to show which one is active. I think my circuit will work now. I even added the e-stop. 10 million thank yous!!! Subscribed. :)

Outstanding lecture! The hard wired e-stop circuit shown here is the most straightforward way to stop a machine. Also NFPA-79 requires that e-stops be normally closed contacts, and cannot be integrated through a PLC. However, a safety relay or safety PLC (like a PILZ) may be used since they are designed for that purpose. I have seen machines that use normally open contacts for the e-stop and use the regular PLC to stop the machine without cutting power to the control transformer. These will not pass an electrical inspection. Thank you for demonstrating the correct way to control!

Lamp "C" is always on, alright? Just let it drain power continuously until it 🔥 burns out 😂😂😂. It's Title 24 compliant, don't worry. 😉😁 Seriously though, really LOVED the video, TY.

Jim I wanted to say how much I enjoy all your lectures. I wish I had gone to college w you as my professor. I'm very curious about something. Your lectures cover a very broad range of topics. How in the world did you learn all of it? What do you actually do for a living? Thanks!

Glad to hear you're making use of this material. I presently teach for the Electro-Mechanical Technology program at Columbia Gorge Community College. It's a program that really does include a bit of everything: electricity and electronics, hydraulics, pneumatics, mechanics, motor control, semiconductor devices and circuits, digital logic, PLCs, industrial control, programming, and power generation and transmission. As for my professional background I'm a former Captain in the US Army and I've worked in semiconductors and industrial windpower. You can't learn everything at once, however, you never have to stop learning.

Jim Pytel I knew it, ever since finding your videos a few months ago and experiencing your unique style of sarcasm in all of the videos I have watched I figured you had to have a military background. I retired from the Air Force on the enlisted side (MSgt) as a Civil Engineer in 2015 and I have plenty of experience working with the all branches but primarily the Army Engineers and Navy SeaBees during deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s funny how military folks have developed their own style of sarcasm and you Sir are no exception. BTW, thank you for your service and all of the content you’ve created. I’m definitely trying to make the most of it as I’ve changed careers or fields, I was a plumber and now I’m working as an instrumentation tech in Alaska at a coal fired power plant.

I'll be at CGCC till at least this June. The motor control course is not fully online. In addition to these lectures the course necessitates a bi-weekly face to face lab.

I have seen a load only device in a ladder logic diagram, usually as an indication that the panel is powered, or as a alteration timer in the diagram, these are exceptions to the rule.

If you can understand this, troubleshooting will come easy to you.... I took a course similar to this for industrial electrical services and since then, if you give me the diagram and schematics I can troubleshoot with the best

Your the man thank you!
