Data Acquisition

The document discusses the data acquisition system. It provides a brief history of data acquisition from 1963 to 1981. It defines data acquisition as the process of measuring electrical or physical phenomena with a computer. The objectives of a data acquisition system are to acquire necessary data at the correct speed, use data efficiently, monitor operations, and store data for diagnosis. The key components of a data acquisition system are sensors, signal conditioning units, multiplexers, A/D converters, recorders, and displays. The document also provides a block diagram and discusses the hardware and software used in data acquisition systems and their applications.

HISTROY:

 IN 1963 ,IBM produced computers which specialized in data acquisition.


These include the IBM 7700 data acquisition system and its successor ,the
IBM data acquisition and control system.
 IN 1974 these expensive specialized systems were suppressed by general
purpose S-100 computers and data acquisitions cards produces by tecmar
/scientific solutions.
 IN 1981 IBM introduced the IBM personal computer and scientific solutions
introduced the first PC data acquisition products.
What is data acquisition system ?

 Data acquisition (DAQ) is the process of measuring an electrical or


physical phenomenon such as voltage, current, temperature, pressure,
or sound with a computer.

 A DAQ system consists of sensors, DAQ measurement hardware, and a


computer with programmable software.

 Data acquisition is the process of sampling signals that measure real


world physical conditions and converting the resulting samples into
digital numeric values that can be manipulated by a computer.
Objectives of data acquisition system :

 Must acquire the necessary data at correct speed


 Use of all data efficiently to inform the operator about the state of the
input
 Must monitor the complete plant operation to maintain on-line optimum
and safe operations
 Must be able to summarize and store data for diagnosis of operation and
record purpose.
Objectives of data acquisition system :

 Must be flexible and capable of being expanded for future


requirements
 Must be reliable and not have a down time greater than 0.1%
 Must provide an effective human communication system.
DATA ACQUISITION CONSIST OF :

 Sensor
 Signal Conditioning
 Data Conversion
 Data Processing
 Multiplexing
 Data Handling
 Associated transmission , storage and display devices

Transducer :

Basically, it is aqurining the data from environment


Used to convert the physical quantity coming from
the field into electrical signals
It is used to measure directly the electrical signals
Signal Conditioning Unit :

 Output signals of transducers are very week signals which cannot be used
for further processing
 To make the signal strong various signal conditioner are used
 Amplifiers
 Filters
 Modifiers
Multiplexer :

 Accept multiple analog signals and provide a single


output signal according to requirements.
A/D Converters :

 Convert analog data into digital data


 Easy processing
 Easy Transmission
 Easy to display and record
 Errors are reduced
Recorders and Display Devices:

 Data is displayed in suitable form in order to monitor the input signals.


 Oscilloscopes
 Numerical displays
 Panel meters
 Data can either be permanently or temporary used or stored
 Optical recorders
 Ultraviolet recorders
 Disc
 Tapes
DAS hardware and software:

 Basically , DAS is an interface between sensor and computer


 Sensor is connected to DAS hardware and DAS is connected to
computer via universal serial bus (USB).
 DAS hardware is a micro- controller and combination of A to D ,D
to A converters and multiplexers , random excess memory etc.
 For supporting DAS hardware there is a drivers software in
computer .
DAS hardware and software :

 Computer process , measure and store data.


 DAS application are controlled by computer software made from C
language or java.
 Computer analyze those phenomena.
Applications of DAS :

 Analog DAS is used when wide frequency width is


required or when lower accuracies can be tolerated,.
 Digital DAS is used when physical quantity being
monitored has narrow bandwidth and also when high
accuracy and low per channel cost is required.
Applications of DAS :

 Digital is more complexed than analog both in terms of


instrumentation involved and volume and complexity of data they
can handle.
 Industrial areas
 Scientific areas
 Aerospace
 Biomedical
 telemetry
