	First we will learn about the OpenPLC Traffic light module.
Slide 5: Traffic Light module This module is used to implement the working of traffic lights visualize the status of any process with the built-in LEDs	This module is used to implement the working of traffic lights and visualize the status of any process with the built-in LEDs.
Traffic.jpg	This is a picture of the Traffic light module. This module replicates a traffic light. It has one red LED marked as STOP and one yellow LED marked as READY. At the bottom, it has 3 green LEDs marked as LEFT, GO and RIGHT.
led-connectors.png	You can access all these LEDs using the connectors present below.
traffic-sled.png or (traffic.jpg)	The red LED can also be accessed through the two connectors on the right of it. If you want to use a single LED you can use these connectors.
	Let us see how to do simple experiments using a single LED.
traffic.jpg	The anode and cathode of the red LED are given as connectors to the right of it. The anode is marked as +5V and cathode as GND, which is Ground.
	These connectors can be connected in 3 different ways. We will see one by one.
traffic.jpg	We can connect +5V pin to 5V and GND pin to any I/O pin of the microcontroller.
traffic.jpg	Connect GND pin to 0V and +5V pin to any I/O pin of the microcontroller.
traffic.jpg	Otherwise connect both +5V and GND pins to the I/O pins of the microcontroller.
Led-connectors.png traffic.jpg image	We will see how to use LEDs with the connectors at the bottom of the module. Each LED’s cathode is taken out through the connectors at the bottom of the module. Note that the rightmost pin marked as ‘EN’ is not an LED connector.
Led-connectors.png traffic.jpg image	Each connector is marked with the first letter of the respective LED name. We will see one by one starting from right. Ri is for green LED marked as RIGHT S is for red LED marked as STOP Re is for yellow LED marked as READY G is for green LED marked as GO L is for green LED marked as LEFT.
traffic-enable.png	‘EN’ is an active low enable pin which enables all the LED pins. To the left of the yellow LED, we can find a connector marked +5V. This is the power pin of the module. That is, none of the LED glows unless you make these two connections.
Slide 6: LED to glow +5V pin should be given 5V. EN and the respective LED pin should be grounded or given a logic-low signal.	Therefore, for any LED to glow you should follow the below: +5V pin should be given 5V. EN and the respective LED pin should be grounded or given a logic-low signal.
	Now we’ll see the working of the module.
Slide 7: How can the Traffic Light module be powered? Traffic Light module can be powered using the output power pins of the Mainboard	How can the Traffic Light module be powered? It can be powered using the output power pins of the Mainboard.
SMPS-Mainboard.jpg - add in editing	Connect the SMPS to the Mainboard as shown here.
led-connectors.png	First we will see the demo of this module using the connectors available at the bottom.
demo1.png Point to the image as per narration	Connect 5V to the power pin i.e. +5V pin to the left of the yellow LED. Connect 0V to the ‘EN’ pin. Then, connect 0V to any of the LEDs. I’m connecting it to the pins marked ‘G’, ‘Re’ and ‘S’.
demo1.png	Make the connections as shown in the picture. Remember to turn off the power supply when you change or make new connections.
Turn on the power supply	After making all the connections turn on the power supply of the Mainboard. The red, yellow and middle green LED has started glowing.
	Do not use I/O pins of the Mainboard to power up the pin marked +5V. Because it may affect the intensity of the LED.
Disconnect the ‘EN’ pin	Now disconnect the ‘EN’ pin. We can observe that all LEDs go off.
Turn off the power supply	Turn off the power supply.
traffic-sled.png	Next, we will see the demo on how to use this module when a single LED is needed.
demo2.png	Connect 5V to the +5V pin on the right of the red LED. Connect 0V to the pin marked GND.
Turn on the power supply	Turn on the power supply. This will make only the red LED to glow. Thus, there is no need to connect power and enable pins for this connection.
Turn off the power supply	Turn off the power supply.
	We have seen how Traffic light module can be used in different ways.
	Now we’ll learn about the OpenPLC Switchboard module.
Slide 5: Switchboard module The goal of this module is to get familiarized with different types of switches In particular their usage in the real time applications in industries	The goal of this module is to get familiarized with different types of switches. In particular their usage in the real time applications in industries.
Slide 6: Main Components 4 Normally Open switches 4 Normally Closed switches 2 Latched action switches and LEDs for each switch	This module has 4 Normally Open switches 4 Normally Closed switches 2 Latched action switches and LEDs for each switch
switchboard.jpg	This is the Switchboard module.
Slide 7: Types of Switches: Normally open (NO) Normally closed (NC) Latched action (L)	In this module, there are three kinds of switches available. They are Normally Open, Normally Closed and Latched action switches. Normally Open is represented as NO and Normally Closed is represented as NC. Latched action switches are represented as L.
SB-switches.png	We will now look at their arrangement on the module from bottom to top.
SB-switches.png Highlight Latch switches Then NC and then NO	At the bottom, we have two Latched action switches. Above that we have 4 Normally Closed and then 4 Normally Open switches.
SB-leds.png	Above these switches we have LEDs corresponding to each switch. The LEDs are arranged in the same order as that of switches.
	Each LED glow indicates a corresponding switch press.
SB-connectors.png	On the top we have female berg connectors for connections.
SB-connectors-z.png Point to each particular pin	Next, we will see about the pins. Starting from the right, the first two pins are GND and 5V respectively. These are the input power pins of this module. Then we have 4 pins for 4 NO switches and 4 pins for 4 NC switches. The last 2 pins are for 2 latched action switches.
Slide 8: Important Note NO and latched action switches must be connected to the I/Os of the microcontroller Only then the LEDs of the corresponding switches will work LEDs of NC switches will work, even if they are not connected to I/Os	NO and Latched action switches must be connected to the I/Os of the microcontroller. Only then the LEDs of the corresponding switches will work. LEDs of NC switches will work, even if they are not connected to the I/Os of the microcontroller.
	Now, we’ll learn how each type of the switch works.
Slide 9: Normally Open Switch The output pin of a NO switch will read logic 0 when it is not pressed When the switch is pressed, the output pin will read 5V This is due to the supply from the microcontroller’s internal pull up register	The output pin of a NO switch will read logic 0 when it is not pressed. When the switch is pressed, the output pin will read 5V. This is due to the supply from the microcontroller’s internal pull up register.
Slide 10: Normally Closed switch The output pin of a NC switch will read 5V when it is not pressed This is due to the supply from the microcontroller’s internal pull up register Upon switch press, the output pin will read logic 0 or ground	The output pin of a NC switch will read 5V when it is not pressed. This is due to the supply from the microcontroller’s internal pull up register. Upon switch press, the output pin will read logic 0 or ground.
Slide 11: Latched action switch It is basically a push-to-make, push-to-break type of switch That is, the output pin will read 5V, when it is pressed for the first time The output pin will read 0V, when it is pressed for the second time	Latched action switch is basically a push-to-make, push-to-break type of switch. That is, the output pin will read 5V, when it is pressed for the first time. The output pin will read 0V, when it is pressed for the second time. Working of the LED of a latched action switch corresponds to that of a NO switch.
Slide 12: How can the Switchboard module be powered? Switchboard module can be powered using the output power pins of the Mainboard	How can the Switchboard module be powered? It can be powered using the output power pins of the Mainboard.
	We have learnt about the different types of switches in the Switchboard module.
	Using these modules we will learn about LDmicro instructions on OpenPLC in future tutorials.
	This brings us to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarize.
