Basic Automotive Transducer Kits
 |
This teaching package
builds on the work covered in the package entitled 'Using the
EDP for Basic Input/Output and Control'. The I/O techniques
covered in the previous module are required to complete this
one. This teaching module explores the theory and use of a wide
variety of sensors and transducers in a range of automobile
applications and contexts.
The following Assignments can be carried out :
· Measurement and control of rotary speed
· Measurement and control of temperature
· Detection and measurement of liquid level
· Measurement of dynamic strain
· Control, diagnostics, of a lighting cluster
· Investigation of the principles of anti-knock sensing
and correction
· Investigation of the principles of operation of air mass
flow measurement
· Operation of climate control sensors
· Principles of Anti-lock braking |

a) Stepper Motor Module
The module is based on a 12V bipolar 7.50 rotation per step
variable reluctance motor. Two LEDs are provided. One of
indicates direction, the other receipt of pulses.
b) DC Motor Module
The module is based on a 5.9V compact disc player spindle
module. |
 |
a) Speed Control
The speed control section comprises a DC motor driving a
ferromagnetic toothed wheel, whose rotational speed is monitored
by a reluctance sensor and a reflective optical switch.
b) Temperature Control
The temperature control section comprises a heater and heat
sink, DC fan and two temperature sensors. |
 |
This module provides an electronic
simulation of knocking in an internal combustion engine and its
correction by retardation of the firing angle. The
characteristic sound of knocking is reconstructed electronically
in a metal cylinder and the vibrations detected by means of a
piezoelectric crystal. |
 |
This module is intended to
illustrate the basic principles of anti-lock braking. An optical
sensor is used to measure the speed of rotating wheel, which is
driven by a dc motor. |
 |
This module, which plugs into a
single applications slot on the EDP, simulates the rise and fall
of liquid in the fuel tank or clutch/ brake reservoir in a motor
vehicle. |
 |
This module is a small scale
realisation of a wishbone type suspension module and features a
piezoelectric bimorph transducer. The system spring is
represented in the model by a rectangular section strip material
to ease analytical modelling. |
 |
The module consists of a rotating "Head
Lamp" and a flashing direction indicator. The Headlamp is
deployed by means of servo motor activated by the EDP. |
DP 31 DSP Development System Education
 |
The DP31 demonstrates the power of
a modular design methodology applied to embedded systems. The
processing element is the highly-integrated TEXAS 320C31
processor card, the DSP Starter Kit (DSK). |
EDP Educational Development Platform
 |
The Motherboard provides a solid,
stable, platform on which to mount and interconnect the modules. |
 |
The Motherboard with Modules; the
plug-in Prototyping Application Board permits access to all
users inputs of the interface modules, using screw terminal
blocks. |
 |
The actual modules available for
the motherboard; DC motor control with digital and analogue
feedback, Stepper motor control with digital and analogue
feedback, Traffic light emulator, Programmable logic trainer,
and 2-axis robotic arm with stepper and servo drive. |
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
 |
MS 2000 Analogue and Digital Data
Logging Unit; in press-working applications it can be used, for
example, in tool-monitoring. |
 |
PC-CAN Card (C2001/2); The Monisys
C2001/2 CAN Cards fit into an unused expansion slot on the
16-bit ISA bus of a PC to connect it to a CAN network. |
 |
Transducers; The company
specialises in the application of ultrasonic techniques applied
to the monitoring of press tools and the assessment of the
integrity of pressing processes. |
