|| '''VISUAL CUE'''&lt;br /&gt;
|| '''NARRATION'''&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|| Slide 1: &lt;br /&gt;
|| Welcome to the spoken tutorial on '''OpenPLC Switchboard module '''&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| Slide 2: Learning Objectives&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will learn about&lt;br /&gt;
* OpenPLC Switchboard''' '''module&lt;br /&gt;
|| &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this tutorial, we will learn about* '''OpenPLC Switchboard '''module&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| Slide 3: System Requirements&lt;br /&gt;
* Ubuntu Linux 18.04 operating system&lt;br /&gt;
* OpenPLC Switchboard module&lt;br /&gt;
|| &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To record this tutorial I am using:&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Ubuntu Linux 18.04''' operating system&lt;br /&gt;
* '''OpenPLC''' '''Switchboard''' module &lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| Slide 5: SwitchboardThe goal of this module is to get familiarized with different types of switches&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The goal of this module is to get familiarized with different types of switches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In particular their usage in the real time applications in industries.&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| Slide 6: Main Components&lt;br /&gt;
4 Normally Open switches&lt;br /&gt;
4 Normally Closed switches&lt;br /&gt;
2 Latched action switches&lt;br /&gt;
LEDs for each switch&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|| This module has&lt;br /&gt;
*4 Normally Open switches&lt;br /&gt;
*4 Normally Closed switches&lt;br /&gt;
*2 Latched action switches and&lt;br /&gt;
*LEDs for each switch&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| switchboard.jpg&lt;br /&gt;
|| This is the '''Switchboard''' module.&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| Slide 7: Types of Switches:Normally open (NO)&lt;br /&gt;
Normally closed (NC)&lt;br /&gt;
Latched action (L)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|| In this module, there are three kinds of switches available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are '''Normally Open, Normally Closed '''and''' Latched action switches.'''&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| switchboard.jpg ( to show with arrow)&lt;br /&gt;
|| '''Normally Open''' is represented as '''NO''' and '''Normally Closed''' is represented as '''NC'''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Latched action''' switches are represented as '''L'''.&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| SB-switches.png&lt;br /&gt;
|| We will now look at their arrangement on the module from bottom to top.&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| SB-switches.png&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Highlight Latch switches&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then NC and then NO&lt;br /&gt;
|| At the bottom, we have two '''Latched action''' switches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Above that we have 4 '''Normally Closed''' and then 4 '''Normally Open '''switches.&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| SB-leds.png&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|| Above these switches we have LEDs corresponding to each switch. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The LEDs are arranged in the same order as that of switches.&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| &lt;br /&gt;
|| Each LED glow indicates a corresponding switch press.&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| SB-connectors.png&lt;br /&gt;
|| On the top we have female berg connectors for connections.&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| SB-connectors-z.png&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Point to each particular pin&lt;br /&gt;
|| Next, we will see about the pins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Starting from the right, the first two pins are GND and 5V respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These are the input power pins of this module.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then we have 4 pins for 4 '''NO switches '''and''' '''4 pins for 4 '''NC switches.''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The last 2 pins are for 2 '''latched action switches'''.&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| Slide 8: Important Note&lt;br /&gt;
* NO and latched action switches must be connected to the I/Os of the microcontroller&lt;br /&gt;
* Only then the LEDs of the corresponding switches will work&lt;br /&gt;
* Note that LEDs of NC switches will work, even if they are not connected to I/Os&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|| '''NO''' and '''Latched action''' switches must be connected to the I/Os of the microcontroller.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only then the LEDs of the corresponding switches will work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that LEDs of '''NC''' switches will work, even if they are not connected to I/Os of the microcontroller.&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| &lt;br /&gt;
|| Now, we’ll learn how each type of the switch works.&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| Slide 9: Normally Open switchThe output pin of a '''NO switch '''will read logic 0 when it is not pressed&lt;br /&gt;
When the switch is pressed, the output pin will read 5V&lt;br /&gt;
This is due to the supply from the microcontroller’s internal pull up register&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|| The output pin of a '''NO switch '''will read logic 0 when it is not pressed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the switch is pressed, the output pin will read 5V.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is due to the supply from the microcontroller’s internal pull up register.&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| Slide 10: Normally Closed switchThe output pin of a NC switch will read 5V when it is not pressed&lt;br /&gt;
This is due to the supply from the microcontroller’s internal pull up register&lt;br /&gt;
Upon switch press, the output pin will read logic 0 or ground&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|| The output pin of a '''NC switch''' will read 5V when it is not pressed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is due to the supply from the microcontroller’s internal pull up register.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Upon switch press, the output pin will read logic 0 or '''Ground'''.&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| Slide 11: Latched action switchIt is basically a '''push-to-make,''' '''push-to-break''' type of switch&lt;br /&gt;
That is, the output pin will read 5V, when it is pressed for the first time&lt;br /&gt;
The output pin will read 0V, when it is pressed for the second time&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|| '''Latched action''' switch is basically a '''push-to-make,''' '''push-to-break''' type of switch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is, the output pin will read 5V, when it is pressed for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The output pin will read 0V, when it is pressed for the second time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Working of the LED of a''' latched action switch '''corresponds to that of a''' NO switch.'''&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| Slide 12:How can the Switchboard module be powered?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Switchboard module can be powered using the output power pins of the Mainboard&lt;br /&gt;
|| How can the Switchboard module be powered?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It can be powered using the output power pins of the '''Mainboard'''.&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| &lt;br /&gt;
|| We have learnt about the different types of switches in the '''Switchboard''' module.&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| &lt;br /&gt;
|| This brings us to the end of the tutorial.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
