Description: To fulfill the requirements of a control loop, it is often necessary to utilize an electromagnetic relay or a transistor relay to either accelerate or delay an action, thereby forming an acceleration or delay circuit. The circuit depicted in Figure 6-23 employs the charging and discharging of a capacitor to control the relay coil, which in turn delays the release time, denoted as Ran. Figures 6-23 (a) to (c) illustrate circuits with instantaneous pull and delayed release characteristics, while Figure 6-23 (d) shows a circuit with both pull and release delays. The maximum time delay for the relay can be estimated using the equation: t = 0.85R·C×10^-6 (s), where R is the total circuit resistance, calculated as R = R + RL, with R representing the resistance and RL being the relay coil resistance, and C is the capacitance measured in picofarads (pF).
The described circuit utilizes a combination of resistors, capacitors, and relay components to create a delay mechanism essential for control applications. In this configuration, the relay acts as a switch that can control the flow of current based on the voltage across the capacitor. The capacitor is charged through a resistor, and once it reaches a certain threshold voltage, it energizes the relay coil, causing the relay to actuate. The time it takes for the capacitor to charge to this threshold is determined by the values of the resistor and capacitor in the circuit.
The equations governing this circuit are fundamental to understanding the timing characteristics. The time constant, which affects how quickly the capacitor charges or discharges, is defined by the product of the resistance (R) and capacitance (C). The equation provided indicates that the maximum time delay can be adjusted by varying the resistance and capacitance values. This allows for precise control over the timing aspects of the relay operation, making it suitable for applications requiring specific timing sequences.
Figures 6-23 (a) to (c) represent configurations where the relay is pulled in instantly, but the release is delayed. This feature is particularly useful in applications where a load needs to remain powered for a certain period after the control signal has been removed. Conversely, Figure 6-23 (d) illustrates a scenario where both the pull-in and release actions are delayed, offering even greater control over the timing of the relay's operation.
In practical applications, the selection of the resistor and capacitor values must be done carefully to ensure that the desired timing characteristics are achieved. The reliability of the relay and the stability of the capacitor during operation are also critical factors that influence the overall performance of the circuit. This type of circuit is commonly used in various automation and control systems, where timing and sequencing of operations are crucial for efficient and safe operation.In order to meet the needs of the control loop, often require electromagnetic relay or transistor relay to accelerate or delay action, from action to constitute accelerate or delay circuit. Circuit shown in Figure 6-23. These types of circuit is the use of a capacitor charging and discharging of the relay coil to delay the release time Ran. Figure 6-23 (a) ~ (c) is the instantaneous pull, delayed release circuit; Figure 6-23 (d) to pull delay, release delay circuit.
