Item type:Publication, A simple amplitude detector-based demodulator for resolver converters(2010-12-01); This paper presents a simple method based on sinusoidal-amplitude detector for realizing the resolver-signal demodulator. The proposed demodulator consists of two full-wave rectifiers, two ±unity-gain amplifiers, and two sinusoidal-amplitude detectors with control switches. Two output voltages are proportional to sine and cosine envelopes of resolver-shaft angle without low-pass filter. Experimental results demonstrating characteristic of the proposed circuit are included. ©ICROS. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Linear Variable Differential Transformer Signal Conditioning Circuit Based on Phase-Locked LoopThe purpose of this paper is to propose a novel technique for extracting the position signal from an inductive displacement transducer named a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT). In general, the movement of the LVDT core causes its primary inductance change in linear form. The primary winding of the LVDT is used as a time-dependent element for the triangular and square wave generator, which can be called self-oscillation, to generate frequency. The advantage of the proposed technique is that it can measure the displacement using the LVDT without an external oscillator. The change in primary inductance causes the frequency deviation generated by the oscillator. The deviated frequency is captured and converted into a voltage signal using the principle of the phase-locked loop. All the components used in this study are commercially available. The merits of this proposed technique are simple configuration, small size, and low cost. Moreover, the operating range of the LVDT can be extended without the limitation of the nonlinear transfer characteristic. The performance of the proposed technique is discussed in detail and confirmed by experimental implementation. Experimental results show that the maximum error from the proposed technique is about 0.42% and the operating range of the LVDT can be extended to more than 200%. It can be seen that the proposed technique is suitable for embedded measurement in small or micro robots. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Temperature Compensation for Transformer-type TransducerA novel technique to compensate the temperature effect of a transformer-type transducer is proposed in this paper. The effect of the ambient temperature on the transformer-type transducer is investigated from a primary-winding current. The advantage of the proposed technique is that the temperature effect is compensated without requiring a temperature sensor, making it suitable for applications in robotic and automation systems operated in harsh environments. The primary-winding current of the transducer is generated using a second-generation current conveyor (CCII). The excitation signal of the transformer-type transducer is driven by the CCII and the current flowing through the primary winding is transferred to an output signal of the CCII. The deviation of the primary-winding current due to the temperature effect is evaluated from the output signal of the CCII. The temperature effect on the transducer is manipulated by a closed-loop principle using a subtract-and-sum action instead of a traditional proportional-plusintegral action to eliminate the deviation of the primary-winding current. Therefore, the temperature effect on the transducer is compensated. A linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) is used to demonstrate the proposed technique, whose performance is discussed in detail and confirmed experimentally. All devices used in this experiment are commercially available. Experimental results show that the measured error of the output signal from the LVDT at 70 C can be reduced from 6.2% without temperature compensation to 0.06% by using the proposed technique, which has the advantages of a low cost, simple configuration, and high performance. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Wireless Carbon Monoxide Level Control and Monitoring SystemThis paper proposes an online carbon monoxide control and monitoring system. The proposed system comprises an MQ-7 CO gas sensor module, a DHT11 digital temperature and humidity sensor module, an ESP8266 module, and a Relay Module. The ThingSpeak platform is used to create HMI for online monitoring of CO level, temperature, humidity, and status of the ventilation fan. This proposed system can measure CO and monitor all parameters of measurement data, alert users when CO values exceed the set value. In addition, the measured CO values are used to control the ventilation system operation (ON or OFF) to maintain the CO at a non-harmful level. The experiment testing and results with three conditions show that the proposed system can measure and monitor CO level, temperature, and humidity online with satisfying values. The ventilation fan can operate with function as a design procedure and maintain CO at a non-harmful level. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Four-quadrant analogue multiplier using operational amplifier(2011-04-01); A method to realise a four-quadrant analogue multiplier using general-purpose operational amplifiers (opamps) as only the active elements is described in this article. The realisation method is based on the quarter-square technique, which utilises the inherent square-law characteristic of class AB output stage of the opamp. The multiplier can be achieved from the proposed structure with using either bipolar or complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) opamps. The operation principle of the proposed multiplier has been confirmed by PSPICE analogue simulation program. Simulation results reveal that the principle of proposed scheme provides an adequate performance for a fourquadrant analogue multiplier. Experimental implementations of the proposed multiplier using bipolar and CMOS opamps are performed to verify the circuit performances. Measured results of the experimental proposed schemes based on the use of bipolar and CMOS opamps with supply voltage ±2.4 V show the worst-case relative errors of 0.32% and 0.47%, and the total harmonic distortions of 0.47% and 0.98%, respectively. © 2011 Taylor & Francis. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
