Potentiometer

The potentiometer is a reusable 3D operator controls component for operator controls layouts. In this simulator it adds a reusable, correctly scaled object to a complete automation scene.

Motion and state

Its rotary state can be driven from a PLC output so speed and direction remain visible during a scan.

PLC control pattern

Commission it by proving setpoint before accepting the next sequence state.

Fault practice

Inject stuck-on, stuck-off states and require the PLC sequence to detect, stop and recover deliberately.

Engineering boundary

The model teaches PLC sequence behaviour and diagnosis. Confirm ratings, wiring, guarding, process calculations and commissioning limits against the real manufacturer documentation and site design.
