COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
Introduction

08 COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

7. 8. 9.

DEFINITION: The Communication is the exchange of thoughts,


messages, or information, as by speech, visuals, signals, writing, or behavior.

Digital Communication Systems Centralized, Hierarchical & Distributed Control

Derived from the Latin word "communis", meaning to Share Communication requires a sender, a message, and a recipient,
although the receiver need not be present or aware of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of communication. Communication can occur across vast distances in time and space. Communication requires that the communicating parties share an area of communicative commonality. The communication process is complete once the receiver has understood the message of the sender 1. DIGITAL COMMUNICATION Presently most of the communication is Digital. For example Cellular (Mobile Phone), Satellite, Radar, data transmission over Internet etc

Communication System

Vivekanand.M.Bonal (M.Tech) ADVANTAGES OF DIGITAL COMMUNICATION

Digital communications are simpler and Cheaper compared to analog systems. Using multiplexing, the speech, video and other data can be merged and transmitted over common channel. Since channel coding is used, the errors can be detected and corrected in the receivers. Regenerative repeating capability Increased noise immunity Reliable communication; less sensitivity to changes in
DISADVANTAGES OF DIGITAL COMMUNICATION

Analog to Digital conversion the data rate becomes high. It requires more band width It requires synchronization in case of synchronous modulation. Higher complexity

environmental conditions (temperature, etc.) Easy system performance monitoring 2. CENTRALIZED, HIERARCHICAL AND DISTRIBUTED CONTROL Integration of transmission and switching 2.1 CENTRALIZED Signal regeneration, operation at low SNR, superior performance It uses one central computer to control an entire plant.
Vivekanand.M.Bonal (M.Tech) 02

As show in the below figure A system one in which most communication routed through one or more central Hubs. Free from peripheral units. In the event failure of one or overloading of particular computer Easy of maintaining accuracy updated data. It similar to file sharing or Network. Disadv: Central Failure all the other Computers are affected. 2.2 HIERARCHICAL/TREE Its top- down approach As show in above figure Sub divided into many levels. Each computer will function different task The computers handling the more routine tasks are supervised by computers which have a greater decision making role. The work is divided between the computers according to the function involved. The specialization is there like receiver & transmission Its often used for distance between nodes of more than 100m As show in below figure. 3. DATA TRANSMISSION There are two types of Data Transmission are as follows

2.3 DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM Each system carrier out essentially similar task.

work can be transferred to other computers. Work is spread across all the computers There is no specialization of computer. Each computer thus needs access to all the information in the system.

Parallel Data Transmission Serial Data Transmission

Cheaper due too few conductors are required. For Long Distance Transmission
Communication System 03

3.1 PARALLEL DATA TRANSMISSION Mechatronics


Vivekanand.M.Bonal (M.Tech) Data transmission is usually by parallel data paths.

No need of handshaking lines. 4. COMMUNICATION MODES

Parallel data bus Transmit in 8,16,32 or 64 bit Simultaneously Data Transfer Rate is High Its Expensive due to more conductors are required. For Short Distance Transmission

Its only in the Serial Data Transmission There are THREE Types of Modes

1. Simplex Mode. 2. Half- Duplex Mode. 3. Full-Duplex Mode. 4.1 SIMPLEX MODE. Transmission is only possible in one direction, from Device A to Device B.

Handshaking lines are needed 3.2 SERIAL DATA TRANSMISSION Data transmission is usually by Serial data paths. The bits of words are transmitted sequentially and Not in Simultaneously. Data Transfer Rate is considerably less then parallel data Transmission.

Where B is not capable of Transmitting back to device A Its like a One way Road. Example: Printers which never Transmit Information.

4.2 HALF- DUPLEX MODE A half-duplex (HDX) system provides communication in both directions, but only one direction at a time (not simultaneously). Typically, once a party begins receiving a signal, it must wait for the transmitter to stop transmitting, before replying.

Examples: Two Way Road, Telephone, Mobile Phone, etc 5. NETWORKS The term Network is used for system which allows two or more computers/Microprocessors to be linked for the interchange of data. The logical form of the links is known as the network Topology The term NODE is used for a point in a network where one or more communication lines Connected

Example : walkie-talkie, where in one must use "Over 4.3. FULL - DUPLEX MODE
Mechatronics Communication System

A full-duplex (FDX), or sometimes double-duplex system, allows


Vivekanand.M.Bonal (M.Tech)

communication in both directions in simultaneously.

5.1 NETWORK TRANSMISSION MEDIUM Open air Radio, microwaves, satellites, infrared Noise signals, Collision

04

Land-line telephone networks are full-duplex, since they allow both callers to speak and be heard at the same time. A good analogy for a full-duplex system would be a two-lane road with one lane for each direction.

Optical Clear signals, low power and high rate (Gbps) Copper wire Lower cost interfaces Bi-directional
Vivekanand.M.Bonal (M.Tech)

In the event failure of one or overloading of particular computer work can be transferred to other computers. Work is spread across all the computers. There is no specialization of computer.

NETWORK TOPOLOGIES

1. Data Bus Topology 2. Star Topology 3. Hierarchy Topology 4. Ring Topology 5. Mesh Topology 5.2.1 DATA BUS NETWORK TOPOLOGY Every nodes tap into a common medium. Its only for only distance more than 100m. Each system carrier out essentially similar task.

Each computer thus needs access to all the information in

the system. As show in below figure. Example: (old, 10BASE2, 10BASE5) Ethernet.

DISADVANTAGES

Signals may collide with each other. Need to arbitrate who will get the bus.

5.2.2 STAR NETWORK TOPOLOGY One node at the center as the master node.

Other nodes linked to the master as slaves.

Ring network is a Network topology in which each node connects to exactly two other nodes, forming a single continuous pathway for signals through each node - a ring. As shown in below figure

As show in above figure


Mechatronics communicate via master. Slaves Communication System

Easy to arbitrate among slaves (master decides. Not scalable (the master is the bottleneck). Normally for small networks or that requires predictable performance. Disadv: Master failure shutdowns the whole net. 5.2.3 RING NETWORK TOPOLOGY

Communication delay is directly proportional to number of nodes in the network Data travels from node to node, with each node along the way handling every packet. Because a ring topology provides only one pathway between any two nodes, ring networks may be disrupted by the failure of a single link.
Mechatronics ADVANTAGES Very orderly network where every device has access to the token

Bandwidth is shared on all links between devices More difficult to configure than a Star: node adjunction Ring shutdown and reconfiguration 5.2.4 HIERARCHICAL/TREE NETWORK TOPOLOGY Its top- down approach As show in above figure Sub divided into many levels. Each computer have different function task.

and the opportunity to transmit


Performs better than a bus topology under heavy network load Vivekanand.M.Bonal (M.Tech) Does not require a central node to manage the connectivity

between the computers


DISADVANTAGES

The computers handling the more routine tasks are supervised by computers which have a greater decision making role.

The work is divided between the computers according to the function involved. The specialization is there like receiver & transmission. Its often used for distance between nodes of more than 100m.

One malfunctioning workstation can create problems for the entire network Moves, adds and changes of devices can affect the network

5.2.5 MESH NETWORK TOPOLOGY Nodes are arranged in grids. Each node can talk to its neighbors directly. Non-neighbor nodes need store-and-forward for communication.

5.3 NETWORK TYPES BY SCOPE There are THREE different Network are there are as follows. 1. Wide Area Network. (WAN) 2. Metro Area Network. (MAN)

No restrictions on how to link the nodes Topology can adapt to individual organization needs As show in below figure a, b. Fig b is a combination both Star & Ring 3. Local Area Network. (LAN) 1. WAN (Wide Area network) Wide Area Network Cross large span of space (continental) Typically heterogeneous and low speed Example: Internet 2. MAN ( METRO AREA NETWORK) Metro-Area Network Regional scope (city-wide) 3. LAN (LOCAL AREA NETWORK)

Local Area Network Limited scope (a couple of buildings) Typically homogeneous & high speed Example: Ethernet & Token ring

Where a signal called a token is passed between nodes that authorize the node to communicate. Devices in a network are arranged in a Ring Topology. The Token circulates across the network.

Each station must wait for the token to arrive at its location before it can send data on the network. Its used in Time- Sensitive Applications.
ADVANTAGE

Collisions are eliminated.


Mechatronics Vivekanand.M.Bonal (M.Tech)

Channel bandwidth can be fully utilized without idle time when demand is heavy.
Communication System

5.4 NETWORK ACCESS CONTROL Access control methods are necessary with a network to ensure that only one user of the network is able to transmit at any one time.
Vivekanand.M.Bonal (M.Tech)

Access of the network is guaranteed

07

DISADVANTAGE

Higher component costs. 5.4.2. SLOT PASSING This Method Involves Empty slots being circulated. that comes along with bus or Tree Network Method 5.4.3 CARRIER SENSE MULTIPLE ACCESS WITH COLLISION DETECTION (CSMA/CD)
08

The following methods are used. 1. Token Passing 2. Slot Passing 3. Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection ( CSMA/CD) 5.4.1 TOKEN PASSING

When Station wish to Transmit data it deposits it in first empty sot

CARRIER SENSE MULTIPLE ACCESS (CSMA) is a probabilistic Media


Access Control (MAC) protocol in which a node verifies the

absence of other traffic before transmitting on a shared transmission medium, such as an electrical bus, or LAN Bus.

Broadband refers to a communication bandwidth of at least 256


Kbps. The term Broadband Transmission is used for a Network in which information is modulated onto Radio Frequency carrier which passes through the transmission medium such as a coaxial Cable. Typically the topology of broadband local area networks is a bus with branches. Data can be transmitted simultaneously. Its for analog Transmission. It offers a Multichannel Capability. Its uses Frequency Division Multiplexing.(FDM)
BASEBAND

"CARRIER SENSE" describes the fact that a transmitter uses


feedback from a receiver that detects a carrier wave before trying to send.

That is, it tries to detect the presence of an encoded signal from


another station before attempting to transmit. If a carrier is sensed, the station waits for the transmission in progress to finish before initiating its own transmission.

In other words, CSMA is based on the principle "Sense before


Transmit" or "Listen before Talk".

"MULTIPLE ACCESSES" describes the fact that multiple stations


send and receive on the medium.

The term BASEBAND is used when digital information is passed


directly through the transmission medium. It uses Time Division Multiplexing.(TDM) Its supports only one information signal at a time. Its for digital Transmission over single line.
Communication System

Transmissions by one node are generally received by all other


stations using the medium. CSMA/CD is used to improve CSMA performance by terminating transmission as soon as a collision is detected, thus shortening
Mechatronics required before a retry can be attempted. the time

Example: LAN may be Baseband or Broadband.

5.5 BROADBAND AND BASEBAND


BROADBAND

The term BROADBAND refers to a telecommunications signal or 6. PROTOCOLS


Vivekanand.M.Bonal (M.Tech) device of greater bandwidth.

A protocol is a system of digital message formats and rules for


exchanging messages between two computing systems.

09

The wider (or broader) the bandwidth of a channel, the greater


the information-carrying capacity, given the same channel quality.

A protocol may have a formal description, its contents 3 elements


are as follows.

1. Syntax 2. Semantic 3. Timing

- Data Format, Coding & Signal Levels. - Synchronization, control & Error Handling. - Sequencing of data & Data Transfer Rate.

Its established in 1947, the International Standards Organization


(ISO) is a multinational body dedicated to worldwide agreement on international standards. An ISO standard that covers all aspects of network communications is the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. It was first introduced in the late 1970s.

PROTOCOLS SIMPLEX COMMUNICATION

The Data can be just sent from sender to Receiver.

PROTOCOLS HALF-DUPLEX

It has Seven Layers in it. They are as follows


7. Application Layer 6. Presentation Layer 5. Session Layer 4. Transport Layer 3. Network Layer 2. Data Link Layer 1. Physical Layer 7.1. PYSICAL LAYER - All - People - Seem - To - Need - Data - Processing - Bottom Layer -Top Layer

Each block of transmitted data; if valid must be acknowledged


(ACK) by receiver before the next block of data can be sent. If NCK a negative acknowledgement signal is sent. Thus continuous stream of data cannot be transmitted.

The CRC bits, Cyclic Redundancy Check bits. Are a mean of error
detection and are transmitted immediately after a block of data. The data is transmitted as a binary number and at the transmitter the data is divided by a number and the remainder is used as the cyclic check code. At the receiver the incoming data, including the CRC, is dived by the same number and will give zero remainder if the signal is errorfree.

The physical layer defines electrical and physical specifications for


devices.

In particular, it defines the relationship between a device and a


transmission medium, such as a copper or fiber optical cable. Physical Layer is responsible for transmitting row bit stream over the physical cable.

Mechatronics

Communication System

Converts bits into electronic signals for outgoing messages Converts electronic signals into bits for incoming messages Its a bottom layer of the OSI model Its function is media, signal & Binary Transmission. 7.2 DATA LINK LAYER

This layer also handles packet switching and network congestion control. To move packets from source to destination to provide internet working. Its normally called IP address 7.4 TRANSPORT LAYER

Data link layer is responsible for controlling the error between adjacent nodes and transfer the frames to other computer via physical layer. Data link layer is used by hubs and switches for their operation. Handles special data frames (packets) between the Network layer and the Physical layer Its concerned with packaging data into packets and placing them on the cable & then taking off the cable at the receiving end. At the sending end this layer handles conversion of data into raw formats that can be handled by the Physical Layer The data link layer is responsible for moving frames from one hop (node) to the next. 7.3 NETWORK LAYER This deals with communication paths and the addressing, Routing and control of messages on the network. The network layer is responsible for the delivery of individual packets from the source host to the destination. This layer also handles the decisions needed to get data from one point to the next point along a network path This layer is Responsible for initiating, maintaining and terminating sessions. The transport layer is responsible for the delivery of a message from one process to another. Manages the transmission of data across a network Manages the flow of data between parties by segmenting long data streams into smaller data chunks (based on allowed packet size for a given transmission medium) Provides acknowledgements of successful transmissions and requests resends for packets which arrive with errors Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) layer is used for Transmission of Data. 7.5 SESSION LAYER Enables two networked resources to hold ongoing

communications (called a session) across a network. Applications on either end of the session are able to exchange data for the duration of the session.

Responsible for security and access control to session information (via session participant identification). Responsible for synchronization services, and for checkpoint services. The session layer is responsible for dialog

signals connecting between a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) and a DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment). It is commonly used in computer serial ports for connections to modems, printers, mice, data storage, un-interruptible power supplies, and other peripheral devices.. The standard defines the electrical characteristics and timing of signals, the meaning of signals, and the physical size and pin out of connectors. RS-232 signals is grouped into THREE categories: 1. DATA RS-232 provides two independent serial data channels, termed primary & secondary. Both these channels are used for full-Duplex operation. 2. HANDSHAKING CONTROL Handshaking signals are used to control the flow of serial data over the communication path. 3. TIMING For synchronous operation it is necessary to pass clock

SERIAL COMMUNICATION INTERFACE.

Serial Interfacing can involve synchronous or Asynchronous protocols. Commonly used asynchronous are RS-232, I2C, and CAN & USB. 8.1.1 RS-232 RS-232 was first introduced in 1962 by the Radio Sector of the EIA (American Electronic Industries Association). Today it's widely interpreted as Recommended Standard 232. RS-232 is a popular communications interface for connecting modems and data acquisition devices (i.e. GPS receivers, electronic balances, data loggers ...) to computers.

8.1.2 I2C BUS (INTER- IC COMMUNICATION) BUS Its serial data bus developed by Philips Semiconductors in early 1980 for providing a simple way to talk between ICs by using a minimum number of pins. Its an Inter - Integrated Circuit Bus. Its a simple bi-directional 2-wire bus for efficient inter-IC control. Only two bus lines are required: a Serial Data Line (SDA) and a Serial Clock line (SCL). The bus allows data and instruction to be exchanged between devices by means of just two wires. Both the lines are connected to the positive power supply via resister. As show in the below figure about the connection.

The following is the protocol used 1. When both Data and Clock lines are high the bus is not busy. 2. A change in the state of data line from high to low while the clock is high is used to define the start of data transfer. 3. A change in the state of the data line from low to high while the clock is high defines the stop of data transfer. 4. Data is transferred between Start and Stop Conditions.

5. After a start of data transfer, the data line is stable for the duration of the high periods of the clock signal, being able to change during the low periods of the clock signal. 6. There is one clock pulse per data bit transferred with no limit on the number of data bytes that can be transferred between the start and stop conditions after each byte of data the receiver acknowledges with ninth bit. 7. The acknowledge bit is a high level put on the bus by the transmitter

PC users experience trying to connect an incredibly wide range of peripherals to their computers. USB gives fast and flexible interface for connecting all kinds of peripherals. USB playing a key role in fast growing consumer areas like digital imaging, PC telephony, and multimedia games, etc. The presence of USB in most new PCs and its Plug-n-Play, capability. It automatically configures and works together with high degree of reliability in exciting new applications areas. USB FEATURES Simple Connectivity & Cables One interface for many Devices Automatic Configuration No User Setting Frees hardware Resources for other devices Hot Pluggable

8.2.1 GENERAL PURPOSE INSTRUMENT BUS (GPIB) GPIB is a short-range digital communications bus specification. It was created for use with automated test equipment in the late 1960s, and is still in use for that purpose. GPIB was created as HP-IB (Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus), and is commonly called IEEE-488. It has been the subject of several standards. It links the computer & Instruments.

Each of the Devices connected to the bus is termed a listener, talker or Controller. Listeners are devices that accept data from the bus.
Mechatronics

Each device on the bus has its own adders. Commands form the controller is signaled by taking the Attention line (ATN) low. Commands are then directed to individual devices by placing addresses on the data lines.
17 Communication System

Talkers place data on request on the Bus. Vivekanand.M.Bonal (M.Tech) flow of data on the bus by sending A controller manages the commands to talkers and listeners & Carries out polls to see which device are active. As show in below figure. The 8-bit parallel data bus can transmit data as on 8-bit byte at a time.
8-Bit Data Line

Addresses are sent via the data lines as a parallel 7-bit word with the lowest 5 bits providing the device address and the other 2 bit control information. If both bits are low then commands are sent to all addresses. If 6 bit is Low & 7 bit is high then device is switched to listener. If 6 bit is High & 7 bit is Low then device is Talker. Handshaking uses the lines DAV, NRFD & NDAC the three lines

ensuring that the talker will only talk when it is being listened to by listeners. Handshake Lines When a listener is ready to accept data NRFD is made high.

Management When data has been placed on the line DAV is made low to notify Lines devices that data is available. When device accepts a data word it sets NDAC high to indicate that it has accepted the data & NRFD low to indicate that it is now not ready to accept data. When all the listeners have set.

Each time a byte is transferred the bus goes through a handshake cycle.

NDVC high then the talker cancels the data valid signal DAV going high. This then results in NDVC being set low. Then entire process can then be repeated for another word being

Its a way to connect instruments in a manufacturing plant. ADVANTAGES Simple hardware interface Ease of connecting multiple device to a single host Its look like LAN type connections which require only one Allows mixing of slow and fast devices Well-established and mature, widely supported Rugged connectors, held in place by screws, means cables can't easily be accidentally removed as they can with Firewire and USB DISADVANTAGES Mechanically bulky connectors and cables Lack of command protocol standards (before SCPI) Implementation options (e.g. end of transmission handling) can complicate interoperability in pre-IEEE-488.2 devices No mandatory galvanic isolation between bus and devices High cost (compared to RS-232/USB/Firewire/Ethernet) Limited availability Compared to other interfaces. Its used in Apples Machintosh Computer. NuBus card could be plugged into any NuBus machine as long as there was an appropriate deceive driver. Its the 1st Example for Plug and Play architecture. NuBus is 32-bit parallel computer bus.

Profi-Bus defines a physical layer through it leaves room for flexibility. Profi-Bus system can now operate using fiber-optic transmission in case where that is more appropriate. There are TWO types Profi-Bus: 1. Profi-Bus DP ( Decentralized Peripherals)
Mechatronics

PA uses the same protocol as DP and can be linked to a DP network using a coupler device. The much faster DP acts as a backbone network for transmitting process signals to the controller. This means that PA & DP can work tightly together, especially in hybrid applications where process and factory automation networks operate side by side.

04 DIGITAL LOGIC

A number system defines how a number can be represented using distinct symbols. A number can be represented differently in different systems. For example, the two numbers (2A)16 and (52)8 both refer to the same quantity, (42)10, but their representations are different. So The Numbers are represented in following FOUR ways. 1. Decimal Number System 2. Binary Number System 3. Hexadecimal Number System 4. Octal Number System 1.1 DECIMAL NUMBER SYSTEM The word decimal is derived from the Latin root Decem (ten). In this system the base b = 10 We use ten symbols they are S = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} The symbols in this system are often referred to as Decimal digits or just digits

Mechatronics

Each digit corresponds to a power of 10 based on its position in the number

1100 1001 = 1 * 27 + 1 * 26 + 1 * 23 + 1 * 20 = 128 + 64 + 8 + 1Digital Logic = 201 1.3 OCTAL NUMBER SYSTEM The word octal is derived from the Latin root octo (eight).

The powers of 10 increment from 0, 1, 2, etc. as you move right to

02

The word binary is derived from the Latin root Bini (or two by two)
Vivekanand.M.Bonal (M.Tech)

In this system the base b = 2 and we use only two symbols, S = {0, 1, 2} The symbols in this system are often referred to as binary digits or bits (binary digit). Shorter & easier to read than binary It is also called "base-2" based on the fact that the column values are the powers of 2. (i.e. 20 21 22 23 24 25 etc. ) To make the binary numbers more readable, the digits are often put in groups of 4 EXAMPLES 1010 = 1 * 23 + 0 * 22 + 1 * 21 + 0 * 20 =8+2 = 10 F} A stands for the number 10 B stands for the number 11 C stands for the number 12 D stands for the number 13 A hexadecimal number is a number where each digit may be one of sixteen possible values. The possible values for a hexadecimal digit are: S = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, S = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}

1.4 HEXADECIMAL NUMBER SYSTEM

E stands for the number 14 F stands for the number 15 EXAMPLES 0xABC = A * 162 + B * 161 + C * 160 = 10 * 256 + 11 * 16 + 12 * 1 = 2560 + 176 + 12 = 2748 0x123 = 1 * 162 + 2 * 161 + 3 * 160 = 1 * 256 + 2 * 16 + 3 * 1 Mechatronics = 256 + 32 + 3 = 291

2.1 BINARY ADDITION The simplest arithmetic operation in binary is addition. Adding two single-digit binary numbers is relatively simple, using a form of carrying: 0+00 0+11 1+01 1 + 1 10, 10) carry 1 (since 1 + 1 = 0 + 1 binary

------------------------------------------

(carried digits)

= 1 0 0 1 0 0 = 36 In this example, two numerals are being added together: 011012 (1310) and 101112 (2310).

2. BINARY ARITHMETICS Arithmetic in binary is much like arithmetic in other numeral systems. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division can be performed on binary numerals.

The top row shows the carry bits used. Starting in the rightmost column, 1 + 1 = 102. The 1 is carried to the left, and the 0 is written at the bottom of the rightmost column.

The second column from the right is added: 1 + 0 + 1 = 102 again; the 1 is carried, and 0 is written at the bottom. The third column: 1 + 1 + 1 = 112. This time, a 1 is carried, and a 1 is written in the bottom row. Proceeding like this gives the final answer 1001002 (36 decimal). Work on this Example: 1. To find Addition of 1110 + 710 in binary (1011)2 + (111)2 2. To find Addition of 5310 + 1310 in binary (110101)2 + ( 1101)2 3. To find Addition of 1510 + 610 in binary (1111)2 + (110)2 4. To find Addition of 5210 + 1210 in binary (110100)2 + ( 1100)2
Mechatronics

The principle is the same as for carrying. When the result of a subtraction is less than 0, the least possible value of a digit, the procedure is to "borrow" the deficit divided by the radix (that is, 10/10) from the left, subtracting it from the next positional value. EXAMPLE * *** borrowed from) 1101110 10111 ------------------=1010111 2.3 BINARY MULTIPLICATION Multiplication in binary is similar to its decimal counterpart. 0X00 0X10 1X00 1X11 EXAMPLES FOR BINARY MULTIPLICATION, The binary numbers 1011 and 1010 are multiplied as follows: 1 0 1 1 (A) 1 0 1 0 (B) -----------------0 0 0 0 Corresponds to a zero in B + 1011 Corresponds to a one in B + 0000

2.2 BINARY SUBTRACTION Subtraction works in much the same way:

0 1 1, borrow 1 101 110 Subtracting a "1" digit from a "0" digit produces the digit "1", while 1 will have to be subtracted from the next column. This is known as borrowing.

+1011 --------------=1101110 Binary numbers can also be multiplied with bits after a binary point: 5.625 X 6.25 = 101.101X 110.01 is given by 1 0 1.1 0 1 (A) (5.625 in decimal)

The procedure is the same as that of decimal long division; here, the divisor 1012 goes into the first three digits 1102 of the dividend one time, so a "1" is written on the top line. This result is multiplied by the divisor, and subtracted from the first three digits of the dividend; the next digit (a "1") is included to obtain a new three-digit sequence: The procedure is then repeated with the new sequence, continuing until the digits in the dividend have been exhausted: 101 . 101 )11011 101 ---------011 000 -------------111 101 ------10

Mechatronics Product 5310 X 1310 in binary (110101)2 X ( 1101)2 2. To find

Thus, the quotient of 110112 divided by 1012 is 1012, as shown on the top line, while the remainder, shown on the bottom line, is 102. In decimal, 27 divided by 5 is 5, with a remainder of 2.

2.4 BINARY DIVISION Binary division is again similar to its decimal counterpart: Here, the divisor is 1012, or 5 decimal, while the dividend is 110112, or 27 decimal.

Logic gates are pieces of hardware that have one or more inputs and one output. Gates can be combined in such a way to obtain a desired output out of a combination of possible inputs. Output must always be either a 1 or a 0. Formal logic is a branch of mathematics that deals with true and false values instead of numbers. True or 1 can be defined as voltage on a wire while False or 0 can be defined as no voltage. Analog values can be anything while digital only has discrete values, 0 or 1 Electrical devices called gates can implement the logical

SENSORS AND TRANSDUCERS

SENSOR: Is a device that detects a change in a physical stimulus and turns it into a signal which can be measured or recorded. The term sensor is used for an element which produces a signal relating to the quantity being measured. TRANSDUCER is a device that transfers power from one system to another in the same form or in the different form. 2. PERFORMANCE TERMINOLOGY
2.1 RANGE AND SPAN

RANGE: The range of Transducer defines the limits between which the input can vary. SPAN: The span is the maximum difference between minimum and maximum limit. Example: Range = 0 to 50kN and Span =50kN.

Capacitance is an electrical property which is created by applying an electrical charge to two conductive objects with a gap between them. This property is most commonly illustrated using the example of two parallel conductive plates with a gap between them and a charge applied to them.

secondary coils which are connected in series in such a way that their outputs oppose each other.

As the object approaches so the plate separation of the capacitor changes, becoming significant and detectable when the object is close to the probe. A magnetic core is moved through the central tube as a result of the displacement being monitored. When there is an alternating voltage input to the primary coil, alternating e.m.f.s are induced in the secondary coils. The linear variable differential transformers generally referred to by the abbreviation LVDT. With the magnetic core central the amount of magnetic material in each of the secondary coils is the same.

4.4 DIFFERENTIAL TRANSFORMERS

Thus the e.m.f.s induced in each coil are the same. Since they are so connected that their outputs oppose each other, the net results is zero output.

The Eddy Current themselves produces a magnetic field. This distorts the magnetic field responsible for their production. As result the impedance of the coil changes and so the amplitude

Low Pressure Air inlet Escaping air

Low Pressure air is allowed to escape through a port in the front of the sensor. This escaping air in the absence of any closed-by object, escapes and in doing so also reduces the pressure in the nearby sensor output port. The output pressure from the sensor thus depends on the proximity of objects. These sensors are used for the measurement of displacements of fractions of millimeters in range which is typically 3 to 12mm.

When force are applied to the cylinder to compress it, then the strain gauge give a resistance change which is measure of the strain & hence the applied forces. A load cell is a transducer that is used to convert a force into electrical signal. This conversion take place in two steps Through mechanical arrangement, the force being sensed deforms a strain gauge. The strain gauge measures the deformation as electrical signal, because the strain changes the effective electrical resistance of the wire. A load cell usually consists of four strain gauges in a Wheatstone Sensors and Transducers bridge configuration. The electrical signal output is typically in the order of a few mill by the measurement of volts and requires amplification by an instrumentation amplifier before it can be used.
