Simulator: Timer Relay
Timer Relay Simulator
I found the Java applet circuit simulator program written by Paul Falstad
to be of significant value while learning electronics.
Many years ago, I contributed the Zener Diode component to this project. I am currently back in school
in a Mechatronics program. We are using a MS4SM Timer Relay.
I decided to see if I could add this to simulator program to see if it would help understand better how to integrate
these relays into a circuit. Here is the current status of this endeavor. This is still under development.
Notes:
- The only mode currently implemented is the power on delay mode.
- The actual device does not trigger start until these are connected to 0v.
My simulator does not allow this yet. These need to be connected to 5 volts or more or they will trigger.
Connecting them to 0v/ground will trigger the timer.
- I have not implementd the import/export features yet.
- I have not supported scaling, flipping or rotating of the component yet.
