 Elements of Mechatronics : Electromechanical


o Electromechanical elements refer to:
 Sensors
A variety of physical variables can be measured using sensors, e.g., light using photo-
resistor, level and displacement using potentiometer, direction/tilt using magnetic
sensor, sound using microphone, stress and pressure using strain gauge, touch using
micro-switch, temperature using thermistor, and humidity using conductivity sensor
 Actuators
DC servomotors, stepper motors, solenoids, Hydraulics, and Pneumatics
 IC-based sensors and actuators (digital-compass, -potentiometer, etc.).
Chapter (1) Introduction to Mechatronics

 Elements of Mechatronics : Electrical/Electronic


 Electrical elements refer to:
Electrical components (e.g., resistor (R), capacitor (C), inductor (L), transformer,
etc.), circuits, and analog signal
 Electronic elements refer to:
Analog/digital electronics, transistors, thyristors, opto-isolators, operational
amplifiers, power electronics, and signal conditioning.
 The electrical/electronic elements are used to interface electromechanical
sensors and actuators to the control interface/computing hardware elements
Chapter (1) Introduction to Mechatronics

 Elements of Mechatronics : Control Interface/Computing Hardware


 Control interface/computing hardware elements refer to:
Analog-to-digital (A2D) converter, digital-to-analog (D2A) converter, digital
input/output (I/O), counters, timers, microprocessor, microcontroller, data acquisition
and control (DAC) board, and digital signal processing (DSP) board.
 Control interface hardware allows analog/digital interfacing
communication of sensor signal to the control computer and communication of control
signal from the control computer to the actuator
 Control computing hardware implements a control algorithm, which uses sensor
measurements, to compute control actions to be applied by the actuator.

 How System Works?

 Actuators produce or cause action.


 Actuators are usually electrical, Hydraulics, and Pneumatics.
 Actuators transform electrical signal into mechanical outputs.
 Sensors detect the state of system parameters, inputs and outputs.
 Sensors are required to monitor the performance of machines and processes.
 Electrical systems are concerned with behavior of three quantities, charge current and voltage.
 The input signal conditioning and interfacing system provide connection between the control
circuits and input /output devices.
 Real time interfacing includes analog to digital and digital to analog conversion.
 The overall control of the system is carried out by digital control.
