I was very lucky to have a avionics engineer as a father he explained schematics to me when I was in my early teens. When I did my apprenticeship as a machine tool fitter it helped me really understand it. I have always drawn schematics with LV power and control separate as the LV is the responsibility of an electrician and the controls that of a controls engineer this allows the two disciplines to work I conjunction and you are right a car plant is just as complex as a large CNC machine. As always a great video I love the eclectic mix of work all have one thing in common a great engineers mind set.

In large wiring diagrams the components and wires are usually named in reference to the page number and grid position they are drawn on. So when you find something that let the magic smoke out you can tell by it's ID where it is in the wiring schematic. Also put the part number in the diagram so the next person knows what to order when the current one is melted beyond recognition. Cheers!

nice work. with the haas horizontal ive been restoring, its got tons of wiring. luckily haas actually made a full service manual for the machine with wiring. the nice thing about that is you can see what modifications were made to the wiring, and undo them if needed, or fix and troubleshoot broken cables. most of the issues I ran into were corroded plugs. haas, and the switch supplier decided open atx style plugs were the ideal solution for a machine destined to be sprayed down with coolant its entire life. you can see all the plugs have a green tint to them, from the corroded copper.

[@RotarySMP]

Sounds like the Renault I used to have. It has a connector at the lowest point in the cabin, with a bulgen in the bottom for space. The bonnet /windcreen area drains blocked up, water flowed in through the aicon blower, ran down under the carpet to the lowest point. Dumb as. I had an emmisions warming, difunctional rear window winder, no aircon, and an ignition fail when I dumped it.

[@davidfarmer]

@@RotarySMP there are several poor design choices with this particular machine, one being that the air solenoids are mounted close to the thing they actuate. so you also have the connector there as well. the wiring could have been much shorter with them all located near the control box. all the solenoids could be on a solid manifold, instead lines that are always pressurized run to regulators and solenoids scattered throughout the machine.

[@equi-nox]

Regardless of what software you use, there's two things that electronic (≠ electric!) schematics generally do to help with larger designs: 1. if a component is broken up into multiple parts, there is *always* one or more letters appended to the component name, i.e. U1A, U1B, U1PWR. (Single letters from A up are generally for multiple copies of the same function.) 2. anything spread over multiple pages generally has the list of other pages making a reference to the same component (or wire) appended to the label, e.g. "U1A [5,6]" (the current page is normally left out) If you do things in non-specific software like Visio, the letter suffix is easy enough to do manually. (The page numbers really need to be automated, incorrect documentation is worse than no documentation…)

I did some industrial wiring during lockdown, you can get slide-on cable labels relatively inexpensively. Just be sure to label both ends of the wire. The guy I worked for liked to orient them in the same direction, made for nicer troubleshooting. If you get into putting ferrules on the connection ends, make sure not to press them too far into the terminals, as you can make the connections intermittent.

In the case of the Webb Telescope: of course they will make sure they keep undershooting. There is the insertion burn, to transition from the transfer orbit to the destination orbit. By undershooting they will make sure that as the telescope starts drifting away from the L2-altitude the drift will be downwards (downwards in the sense of being in the direction towards Sun/Earth.) From then on all the orbit keeping corrections will all be corrections that must undershoot. If they ever overshoot: the drift away from the L2-altitude will then be drift to an orbit around the Sun that is not synchronized with the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Webb does not have the velocity to _escape_ the Sun, that's not at issue. The advantage of Webb orbiting the Sun in such a way that Webb remains in the vicinity of the L2 point is that that is a Solar orbit such that the distance between Webb and Earth is consistent. If the period of solar orbit of Webb would be not synchronous with the Earth orbit then there would also be times that the distance between Webb and Earth is so large that the bandwidth of the radio communication of observation data suffers. That is: if Webb would drift away from its L2 altitude in such a way that it cannot be corrected then Webb will still orbit the Sun, and Webb will still be just as capable of astronomical observation, but the bandwidth of radio communication will be degraded, depending on the Earth/Webb distance

@@RotarySMP I would describe maintaining the altitude of the Webb telescope like keeping a large A-frame upright. Let the A-frame pivot without any friction. The closer you are to perfectly vertical the smaller the required upright-keeping force. Right at the edge you can even let go and only correct from time to time. The tricky bit is that if you push it even the slightest bit past the point of perfectly vertical it falls over away from you.

[@wizrom3046]

I was originally trained in heavy industry and have a strong dislike of multipage electrical diagrams. Most of our diagrams were A1 sized, about the size of a large coffee table. And to make it really suck, the item (like a contactor) you were testing was often split over 10 or more separate diagrams, with each diagram having one contact (switch) or one coil etc. Then to diagnose it you could see it being in series with other contactors, limit switches etc, and each of those things was most likely split over multiple OTHER diagrams. And of course all the diagrams were folded up like roadmaps with 3 folds... So in the back of a relatively simple control panel there would be a plastic bag with a phone-book sized wad of 30 folded up diagrams, and OF COURSE there was nowhere to unfold and lay them out to read them the space was very limited and the floor was filthy... So you had to hold them up by a corner, crook your neck sideways and try to trace the schematic across 20 different diagrams. And the ONE critical diagram had, of course, been taken away by somebody... 🤯

[@RotarySMP]

... and it was 3am when you were called out to troubleshoot it :) I only know the Schaublin schematics, and they seem pretty logical, starting with power, then Output, then Input, and finally buses and digital. I'll try to copy that system. 30 pages in total.
