Steps towards learning Automation - 03
------------------------------------------------------------------
In this episode, we will understand the concept of sourcing and sinking.
One of the important things to consider while purchasing the digital input out modules of a programmable logic controller (PLC) from an automation company is the type of the module required. The module can be a sinking type or a sourcing type. This video explains the basic concept of sourcing and sinking. Before directly explaining the concept with the I/O modules of a PLC, we start our video by understanding a basic circuit of a switch and a lamp in series with a power supply. It is easier to understand the concept with this circuit visually. Once the concept of sourcing and sinking is established, we move forward to understanding it with respect to digital input output module of a programmable controller. In industrial automation, various kinds of sensors and transducers are used in the field or a plant to gather data about a process. These sensors or transducers can be either a sourcing type device or a sinking type device. With proper selection of these sensors, transducers we can select the required I/O modules. Our concept of sinking and sourcing will help to easily select the required components for automation. Today, factory automation technology has advanced to a great level. Many different components and automation products are available from different vendors. Their proper selection for a specific process is the role of an automation and purchase engineer.
When current finally enters the component, it is said that the component is of sinking type. Similarly, when current emerges from the component, the component is of sourcing type. Now depending whether the sensor outputs the current or sinks the current, the corresponding input card of a PLC should sink a current or source it respectively. Hope you enjoy the video. Stay Calm and Keep Learning !!!

About the Site π
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. π₯
Origins of the Idea π±
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. π§
Challenges Faced π€
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. π
Creating Truly Random Links π οΈ
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube πΊ
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. π
Content and Users π΅
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact π€
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. π
