Mechatronics 1
What is Mechatronics?

• Mechatronics can be defined in different ways as follows:


Definition – I
• Mechatronics is a synergy of precision engineering products,
electronic control and mechanical systems.
Definition – II
• Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary area of engineering that
combines mechanical ,electrical engineering and computer
science.
Definition – III
• It is design and development of intelligent product by using
Hybrid Electro-mechanical systems with computer control.

Historical Background

• The word mechatronics was first coined by Mr.


Tetsuro Mori, engineers at Yaskawa Electric company
in 1969.
• Mechatronics is a word originated in Japan in 1980s to
denote the combination of technologies which go
together to produce industrial robots.
• Virtually every modern electromechanical system has
an embedded computer controller. Therefore,
computer hardware and software issues (in terms of
their application to the control of electromechanical
systems) are part of the field of mechatronics.
Mechatronics 4
Cont.….
• The concepts of mechatronics have emerged as engineers
faced difficulties in enhancing the performance of
machines using traditional stand-alone principles.
• The Japanese were the first to recognize the limitations
of traditional mechanical engineering and introduced the
term “Mechatronics” to mean an integrative
multidisciplinary approach for design of mechanical
systems and processes.
• With availability of microprocessors at lower cost and
electronic control in virtually all machinery and
consumer products, a mechatronics approach for design
is becoming indispensable.

Characteristics of Mechatronic Systems

• They are generally complex systems with high levels


of integration.
• They are more functionality than conventional
systems.
• Operation at the system level is generally transparent
to the user.
• Environmental friendly.
• And Others.

Advantages of Mechatronics
• Cost effective and good quality products
• High degree of flexibility to modify or redesign
• Very good performance characteristics
• Wide area of application
• Greater productivity in case of manufacturing organization
• Greater extend of machine utilization
Disadvantages of Mechatronics
• High Initial cost
• Multi-disciplinary engineering background required to
design and implementation
• Need of highly trained workers
• Complexity in identification an correction of problems in
the system Mechatronics 7

Mechatronic System Architecture

two main
Components
Sensor: an input transducer (i.e., a microphone)
Actuator: an output transducer (i.e., a loudspeaker)
Transducers: sensors and actuators

Signals & Conditioning
• Mechatronic system deals with two types of signals and
conditioning , i.e. Input & Output
• Input devices receive input signals from the mechatronics
system via interfacing devices as sensors.
• From sensors the signal is send to the control circuits for
conditioning or processing.
• Various input signal conditioning devices are amplifiers,
A2D, D2D converters .
• Output signals from the system are send to the
output/display devices through interfacing devices
• Various output signal conditioning devices are D2A, display
decoders, power transistors, op-amps.
Mechatronics 15
Digital Logic System
• It will control overall system operation
• Various digital logic systems are logic circuits,
microcontrollers, PLC, sequencing & timing controls

Software & Data acquisition Systems
• Data acquisition system acquires the output signals from
sensors in the form of voltage, frequency, resistance etc.
an inputting into the microprocessor or computer.
• Software is used to control the acquisition of data through
DAC board.
• Data acquisition system consists of multiplexer, amplifier,
register and control circuits.
• Software Examples: Ladder Logic, Visual C++, Visual
Basic, Lab VIEW, MATLAB, Lab Chart, LOX

Computers and display devices
• Computers are use to store large amount of data and process
further through software.
• Display devices are used to give visual feedback to the user.
• Display devices are LED, CRT, LCD, Digital displays etc.

Mechatronics 20
Control System
• Open-loop control system

• Closed-loop control system
