TABLE OF CONTENTS PART 1: DIGITAL LOGIC CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Many control systems are concerned with setting events in motion or stopping them when certain conditions are met. For example, with domestic washing machine, the heater is only switched on when there is water in the drum and it is to the prescribed level. Such control involves digital signals where there are only two possible signal levels. Digital circuitry is the basis of digital computers and microprocessor controlled systems. There are two input signals which are either or signals and an output signal which is or signal. The controller is here programmed to only give a output if both the input signals are 1. Such an operation is said to be controlled by a logic gate .Logic gate is the basic building blocks for digital electronic circuits. The term combinational logic is used for the combining of two or more basic logic gates to form a required function. LOGIC GATES Logic gates are the basic components in digital electronics. They are used to create digital circuits and even complex integrated circuits. For example, complex integrated circuits may bring already a complete circuit ready to be used – microprocessors and microcontrollers are the best example – but inside them they were projected using several logic gates. In this tutorial we will teach you everything you need to know about logic gates, with several examples. As you may already know, digital electronics accept only two numbers, “0” and “1.” Zero means a V voltage, while “1” means V or 3.3 V on newer integrated circuits. You can think “0” and “1” as a light bulb turned off or on or as a switch turned off or on. English for Mechatronics Engineering Page English for Mechatronics Engineering Page a. AND gate: Suppose we have a gate giving a high output only when both input A and input B are high; for all other conditions it gives a low output. This is an AND logic gate. We can visualize the AND gate as an electric circuit involving two switches in series. Only when switch A and B are closed, there is a current. (a) Represented by switches (b) Symbols The relationship between the inputs and the outputs of an AND gate can be expressed in the form of an equation, called Boolean equation. The Boolean equation for the AND gate is written as A.B=Y An example is a burglar alarm in which it gives an output, the alarm sounding, when the alarm is switched on and when a door is opened to active a sensor. The relationships between inputs to a logic gate and the outputs can be tabulated in a form known as truth table. This specifies the relationships between the inputs and outputs. We can write the truth table as A 0 1 B 1 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page English for Mechatronics Engineering Page Output b. OR gate: An OR gate with inputs A and B gives an output of a when A or B is 1. We can visualize such a gate as an electric circuit involving two switches in parallel. When switch A or B is closed, then there is a current. OR gates can also have more than inputs. We can write the Boolean equation for an OR gate as: A +B=Y (a) Represented by switches A 0 1 c. (b) Symbols B 1 Output NOT gate: a NOT gate has just one input and one output, giving a output when the input is and a when input is 1. The NOT gate gives an output which is the inversion of the input and is called an inverter. The representing NOT actually symbolizes logic identity, i.e. no operation, and the inversion is depicted by the circle on the output. Thus, if we have a digital input which varies with time, the output variation with time is the inverse. The Boolean equation describing the NOT gate is Input Output English for Mechatronics Engineering English0for Mechatronics Engineering Page Page AY A bar over a symbol is used to indicate that the inverse, or complement, is being taken; thus the bar over the A indicates that the output Y is the inverse value of A. d. NAND gate: The NAND gate can be considered as a combination of an AND gate followed by a NOT gate. Thus when input A is and input B is 1, there is an output of 0, all other inputs giving an output of 1. The NAND gate is just the AND gate truth table with the outputs inverted. An alternative way of considering the gate is as an AND gate with a NOT gate applied to invert both the inputs before they reach the AND gate. The figure below shows the symbols used for the NAND gate, being the AND symbol followed by the circle to indicate inversion. The Boolean equation describing the NAND gate is: ABY The following is the truth table: A 0 1 B 1 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page English for Mechatronics Engineering Page Output e. NOR gate: The NOR gate can be considered as a combination of an OR gate followed by a NOT gate. Thus when input A or input B is there is an output of 0. It is just the OR gate with the outputs inverted. An alternative way of considering the gate is as an OR gate with a NOT gate applied to invert both the inputs before they reach the OR gate. The figure below shows the symbols used for the NOR gate; it is the OR symbol followed by the circle to indicate inversion. The Boolean equation for NOR gate is: ABY The following is the truth table for the NOR gate. A 0 1 f. B 1 Output XOR gate: XOR stands for exclusive OR. XOR gate compares two values and if they are different its output will be “1.” XOR operation is represented by the symbol ⊕. So Y = A ⊕ B is the Boolean equation for the XOR gate. The following is the truth table for the XOR gate. A 0 B English for Mechatronics Engineering Page English for Mechatronics Engineering Page Output 1 g. XNOR gate: XNOR stands for exclusive NOR and is an XOR gate with its output inverted. So, its output is at “1” when the inputs have the same value and “0” when they are different. XNOR operation is represented by the symbol (·). The Boolean equation for XNOR gate is: A (·) B = Y CHAPTER 2: APPLICATIONS OF LOGIC GATES INTEGRATED CIRCUIT Logic gates are available as integrated circuits. The different manufacturers have standardized their numbering schemes so that the basic part numbers are the same regardless of the manufacturer. For example, Fig. 1(a) shows the gate systems available in integrated circuit 7408; it has four two-input AND gates and is supplied in a 14-pin package. Power supply connections are made to pins and 14, these supplying the operating voltage for all four AND gates. In order to indicate at which end of the package pin starts, a notch is cut between pins and 14. Integrated circuit 7411 has three AND gates which each having three inputs; integrated circuit 7421 has two AND gates with each having four inputs. Figure 1(b) shows the gate systems available in integrated circuit 7402. This has four twoinput NOR gates in a 14-pin package, power connections being to pins and 14. Integrated circuit 7427 has three gates with each having three inputs. English for Mechatronics Engineering Page English for Mechatronics Engineering Page Figure 1: Integrated circuit (a) 7408, (b) 7402 APPLICATIONS 1. Digital comparator A digital comparator is used to compare two digital words to determine if they are exactly equal. The two words are compared bit by bit and a output given if the words are equal. To compare the equality of two bits, an XOR gate can be used; if the bits are both or both the output is 0, and if they are not equal the output is a 1. To obtain a output when the bits are the same we need to add a NOT gate, this combination of XOR and NOT being termed an XNOR gate. To compare each of the pairs of bits in two words we need an XNOR gate for each pair. If the pairs are made up of the same bits then the output from each XNOR gate is a 1. We can then use an AND gate to give a output when all the XNOR outputs are ones. Figure shows the system.

Coder The Fig. shows a simple system by which a controller can send a coded digital signal to a set of traffic lights so that the code determines which light, RED, AMBER OR GREEN, will be turned on. To illuminate the RED light we might use the transmitted signal A = B = 0, for the AMBER light A = 0, B = and for the GREEN light A = 1, B = 0. We can switch on the lights using these codes by using three AND gates and two NOT gates.

An object of uniform cross section will have a resistance proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area, and proportional to the resistivity of the material. Discovered by Georg Ohm in the late 1820s, electrical resistance shares some conceptual parallels with the mechanical notion of friction. The SI unit of electrical resistance is the ohm, symbol Ω. Resistance's reciprocal quantity is electrical conductance measured in Siemens, symbol S. The resistance of a resistive object determines the amount of current through the object for a given potential difference across the object, in accordance with Ohm’s laws: I  V R where R is the resistance of the object, measured in ohms, equivalent to J·s/C V is the potential difference across the object, measured in volts I is the current through the object, measured in amperes We all know that voltmeter and ammeter are used for measuring the voltage and the current respectively. For the resistance, the meters that use to measure it is the ohmmeter. But what if we don't have an ohmmeter to use? Color coding system for resistors consists of three colors to indicate the resistance value in ohms of a certain resistor, sometimes the fourth color indicate the tolerance value of the resistor. By reading the color coded in correct order and substituting the correct value of each corresponding color coded as shown in the table below, you can immediately tell all you need to know about the resistor. Each color band represents a number and the order of the color band will represent a number value. The first color bands indicate a number. The 3rd color band indicates the multiplier or in other words the number of zeros. The fourth band English for Mechatronics Engineering Page English for Mechatronics Engineering Page indicates the tolerance of the resistor. In most cases, there are color bands. However, certain precision resistors have bands or have the values written on them, refining the tolerance value even more.

The forms of practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least two electrical conductors separated by a dielectric (insulator); for example, one common construction consists of metal foils separated by a thin layer of insulating film. Capacitors are widely used as parts of electrical circuits in many common electrical devices. When there is a potential difference (voltage) across the conductors, a static electric field develops across the dielectric, causing positive charge to collect on one plate and negative charge on the other plate. Energy is stored in the electrostatic field. An ideal capacitor is English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 10 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 10 CHAIN DRIVE Chain drive is a way of transmitting mechanical power from one place to another. It is often used to convey power to the wheels of a vehicle, particularly bicycles and motorcycles. It is also used in a wide variety of machines besides vehicles. Most often, the power is conveyed by a roller chain, known as the drive chain or transmission chain, passing over a sprocket gear, with the teeth of the gear meshing with the holes in the links of the chain. The gear is turned, and this pulls the chain putting mechanical force into the system. Slip can be prevented by the use of chains which lock into teeth on the rotating cylinders to give the equivalent of a pair of intermeshing gear wheels. A chain drive has the same relationship for gear ratio as a simple gear train. Chains enable a number of shafts to be driven by a single wheel and so give a multiple drive. They are not as quite as timing belts but can be used for larger torques. English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 52 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 52 CHAINS VERSUS BELTS Drive chains are most often made of metal, while belts are often rubber, plastic, or other substances. Although well-made chains may prove stronger than belts, their greater mass increases drive train inertia. Drive belts can often slip (unless they have teeth) which means that the output side may not rotate at a precise speed, and some work gets lost to the friction of the belt against its English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 53 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 53 rollers. Teeth on toothed drive belts generally wear faster than links on chains, but wear on rubber or plastic belts and their teeth is often easier to observe. Conventional roller chain drives suffer the potential for vibration, as the effective radius of action in a chain and sprocket combination constantly changes during revolution. If the chain moves at constant speed, then the shafts must accelerate and decelerate constantly. If a drive sprocket rotates at constant RPM, then the chain (and probably the driven sprocket) must accelerate and decelerate constantly. This is usually not an issue with many drive systems, however most motorcycles are fitted with a rubber bushed rear wheel hub to virtually eliminate this vibration issue. Toothed belt drives are designed to avoid this issue by operating at a constant pitch radius. Chains are often narrower than belts, and this can make it easier to shift them to larger or smaller gears in order to vary the gear ratio. Multi-speed bicycles with derailleurs make use of this. Also, the more positive meshing of a chain can make it easier to build gears that can increase or shrink in diameter, again altering the gear ratio. Both can be used to move objects by attaching pockets, buckets, or frames to them; chains are often used to move things vertically by holding them in frames, as in industrial toasters, while belts are good at moving things horizontally in the form of conveyor belts. It is not unusual for the systems to be used in combination; for example the rollers that drive conveyor belts are themselves often driven by drive chains. Drive shafts are another common method used to move mechanical power around that is sometimes evaluated in comparison to chain drive; in particular shaft drive versus chain drive is a key design decision for most motorcycles. Drive shafts tend to be even tougher and more reliable than chain drive, but weigh even more (robbing more power), and impart rotational torque. Virtually all high performance motorcycles use chain drive, with shaft driven arrangements generally used for many non-sporting machines. Toothed belt drives are used for many lower power motorcycles. English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 54 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 54 CHAPTER 5: BEARINGS Whenever there is relative motion of one surface in contact with another, either by rotating of sliding, the resulting frictional forces generate heat which wastes energy and results in wear. The function of a bearing is to guide with minimum friction and maximum accuracy the movement of one relative to another. Of particular importance is the need to give suitable support to rotating shafts, i.e. support radial loads. The term thrust bearing is used for bearings that are designed to withstand forces along the axis of a shaft when the relative motion is primarily rotation. There are two common type of bearing, which are ball bearing and roller bearing. With this type of bearing, the main load is transferred from the rotating shaft to its support by rolling contact rather than sliding contact. A rolling element bearing consists of four main elements: an inner race, an outer race, the rolling element of either balls or rollers, and a cage to keep the rolling element apart. The inner and outer races contain hardened tracks in which the rolling elements roll. English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 55 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 55 There are a number of forms of ball bearings and roller bearings: DEEP-GROOVE This is good at withstanding radial loads but is only moderately good for axial loads. It is a versatile bearing which can be used with a wide range of load and speed. Deep Groove Ball Bearings are cost-effective and maintenance free. They are basically used when axial loads from two directions have to be transmitted & there is not enough space to allow installation of matched spindle bearings and when speed is less important when compared to required guidance of the rotating parts. Physical Characteristics • Comprises of deep uninterrupted raceways • Ring grooves are circular arcs made slightly larger than the radius of the ball • The balls make point contact with the raceways • The inner ring shoulders are of equal height Advantages of Deep Groove Ball Bearings • Sustain radial, axial, or composite loads. • Provide both high-running accuracy & high-speed operation • Can replace high speed angular contact ball bearings • Simple design • Maintenance free • Longer service life English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 56 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 56 FILLING - SLOT Filling slot bearings have a higher radial load carrying capacity than bearings without filling slots, but their axial load carrying capacity is small. They are also unable to operate at such high speeds as bearings without filling slots. Depending on the main application for which they are used, deep groove ball bearings with filling slots have a cage or no cage. The raceways in both of the rings are in arc groove form, which can carry radial and axial load in double directions. They can be applied in situations where high-rotating speed and low noise and low vibration are required. When the outer diameter is less than (inclusive) 400mm, they use pressed cage with steel sheet. When the outer diameter is bigger than 400mm, they use brass cages. Can be found in automobiles, machine tools, motors, instruments, construct machines, railway vehicles, agricultural machines and various other special machines. English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 57 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 57 ANGULAR CONTACT This is good for both radial and axial loads and is better for axial loads than the deepgroove equivalent. The angular contact ball bearing is termed thrust ball bearing. Because doing so can fill many precious metal balls, the load capacity of that diameter is definitely greater than that of the common impact. At the same time it may possibly support a really great axial fill or absolute axial load. Relatively, it’s doing work rotate velocity is similar to that relating to deep rhythm ball showing but its muscle is more demanding than the deep groove a single. When people mount the angular contact ball bearing, it should be set up effectively because this bearing is very sensitive to the error in the axial line. In the common predicament, this displaying is not used to help alone offer the radial load. Whether it is used to tolerate the radial download, it must add to the axial load. Design Attributes • Specific geometry of angular contact bearing raceways and shoulders creates ball contact angles that support higher axial loads. • Expanded options include special lubricants, cage materials, preloads and coatings for additional corrosion resistance. Applications Angular contact ball bearings are engineered for use in high-speed, high precision applications for: • Agriculture • Chemical • General industry • Utilities English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 58 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 58 DOUBLE-ROW Double row deep groove ball bearings feature higher load ratings than single row bearings, but are very sensitive to misalignments. These bearings have deep uninterrupted raceways and high conformity between the balls and raceways. Besides this, Double Row Deep Groove Ball Bearing is able to carry axial loads acting in both directions in addition to radial loads. Features: - Deep groove ball bearings mainly take radial load as well as take moderate axial load - With less coefficient of friction, high limiting speed, large size range and various structure - They are suitable of precision instruments, low noise motors, automobiles, motorcycle, and other common machinery. - A widely used type of bearings in machinery industry. Applications: Double-row deep-groove ball bearings are engineered for use in electric motors, automotive applications, home appliances, industrial equipment. English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 59 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 59 SELF-ALIGNING Single-row bearings can withstand a small amount of shaft misalignment but where there can be serve misalignment a self-aligning bearing is used. They are suitable for applications where misalignment can arise from errors in mounting or shaft deflection. The steel balls, cage, and inner ring can rotate freely at a certain angle, as it is stated that the bearings have self-aligning features. Accordingly, misalignment of the bearing shaft due to the machining and installation of the shaft and housing will be automatically adjusted. Physical Characteristics • The self-aligning ball bearing has two rows of balls. • A common concave sphere raceway in the outer ring. • The center of whose curvature meets that of the bearing itself, so that the inner ring, balls and cage continue to rotate • The self-aligning ball bearing with a tapered bore can easily be fit to the shaft with an adapter assembly. Advantages of Self Aligning Ball Bearings English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 60 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 60 • Have the lowest friction of all rolling bearings. • Run cooler even at high speeds. • Easy mounting and dismounting. • The permissible operating speed is not dependent on the common criteria like heat generation or cage stability and strength. Application of Self Aligning Ball Bearings • Self-aligning ball bearings are used for commercial ground shafting applications. • Since axial load capacity is limited, self-aligning ball bearings are not suitable for applications with heavy axial loads. All bearing products are popular among different industries. They have various characteristics and functions. Compared to ball bearings, roller bearings have higher radial load capacity. Roller bearings can be future divided into many types. When compared to the same-sized sleeve bearings, they are capable of higher rotational speeds. English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 61 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 61 STRAIGHT-ROLLER BEARING The straight-roller bearing has a larger carrying capacity of axial load compare with the deep-groove ball bearings. The structure of the bearing shows that it runs very well under high rotational speed. It is a separable bearing. It is especially convenient for the assembly and disassembly. It has advantages in a condition that the interference is required and assorted with inner ring, outer ring and housing. Also, it will carry a greater load than ball bearings of the same size because of their greater contact area. However, they are not tolerant of misalignment. Straight roller bearings mostly consist of three main sections: The inner bearing race fits snugly on the turning shaft, or can actually be the shaft itself if the shaft metal is hard enough. The outer race is a uniform and hardened collar that fits inside the bearing holder bore. Finally, there should be a sufficient number of uniform straight rollers to completely fill the space between the two races without binding together. These bearings will last almost forever if sealed, kept very clean, and lubricated with high film strength-bearing grease. This type of bearing product has various applications. They are suitable for electric motors, automobiles, transmission shafts, gear shafts and so on. On vehicles, they are ideal axle bearings for dump trucks, cement mixers, bulldozers, load haulers, and lifts. Besides, they can also be applied in very large industrial machines such as presses, forges, conveyors, gear boxes and rolling mills, etc. English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 62 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 62 TAPER ROLLER Tapered roller bearings are separable bearings, bearing inner and outer rings with tapered raceways are, for the circular conical roller. Roller in line contact with the raceway, can withstand heavy radial and axial joint load, but also bear the pure axial load. Contact angle decreases, the higher the axial load capacity. The taper roller bearings can carry combinations of large radial and thrust loads or thrust load only. Because of the difference between the inner and outer raceway contact angles, there is a force component, which drives the tapered rollers against the guide flange. The relatively large sliding friction generated at this flange makes this bearing typically unsuitable for high-speed applications without special consideration to coolant / lubricant. Typical applications include construction machinery, gear construction, vehicle manufacture and rolling mills. Physical Characteristics of Taper Roller Bearings • Taper roller bearings have tapered inner and outer ring raceways between which tapered rollers are arranged. • The projection lines of all the tapered surfaces meet at a common point on the bearing axis. Their design makes taper roller bearings particularly suitable for the accommodation of combined (radial and axial) loads. English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 63 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 63 • The axial load carrying capacity of the bearings is largely determined by the contact angle. The larger the angle, the higher the axial load carrying capacity. • Taper roller bearings have the logarithmic contact profile that provides for optimum stress distribution over the roller/raceway contacts • The special design of the sliding surfaces of the guide flange and large roller ends considerably promotes lubricant film formation in the roller end/flange contacts. Advantages of Taper Roller Bearings • Dimensional Stability • Long Life Even In Contaminated Lubricant • Durable Steel Cage • Dimensionally Interchangeable With Other Bearing Manufacturers Applications of Taper Roller Bearings • In many applications taper roller bearings are used in back-back pairs so that axial forces can be supported equally in either direction. • Pairs of taper roller bearings are used in car and vehicle wheel bearings where they must cope simultaneously with large vertical (radial) and horizontal (axial) forces. • Agriculture, Construction and Mining Equipment • Various Axle Systems • Conveyance Vehicles • Gear Box, Engine Motors, Reducers Taper Roller Bearings Design Tapered roller bearings consist of four basic components including the cone (inner ring), the cup (outer ring), tapered rollers, and a cage (roller retainer). Tapered roller bearings are designed such that their conical rollers and raceways are arranged so that all elements of the roller and raceway cones meet at a common apex on the bearing axis. The rollers are guided by the contact between the large end of the roller and the rib on the inner ring (cone). This construction provides a high capacity for radial loads, axial loads, and combined loads. The larger the contact angle, the greater the loading capacity becomes. When a pure English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 64 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 64 radial load is placed on the bearing, an induced load in the axial direction is also generated. So, these bearings are generally used in pairs opposing each other. Proper running clearance or preload can be obtained by adjusting the distance of the two bearings against one another. Since the inner (cone) and outer (cup) rings are separable, each ring can be mounted individually, allowing both rings to use tight fitting practices, if desired. NEEDLE ROLLER Needle roller bearings use needle rollers as rolling elements. The needle rollers are a maximum of mm in diameter and are to 10 times as long as they are in diameter. Because the bearings use needle rollers as rolling elements, the cross-section is thin, but they have a high load capacity for their size. Because of the large number of rolling elements, the bearings have high rigidity and are ideally suited to wobbling or pivoting motion. Physical Characteristics • Its cylindrical rollers, which are thin and long in relation to their diameter. They are referred to as needle rollers. • Needle Rollers are used for needle roller bearings and are rigid and highly accurate. English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 65 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 65 • In spite of their low cross section the bearings have a high load carrying capacity. • Available with or without an inner ring. • The needle rollers are a maximum of mm in diameter and are to 10 times as long as they are in diameter. Application of Needle Roller Bearings Needle roller bearings contain precision needle rolling elements, which have multiple uses in a variety of industries including automotive, truck, farm and construction equipment, two-cycle engines, outboard engines and consumer durables. Needle rollers are mainly used as bearing rolling elements to transmit torque and reduce friction. They can also serve as precision shafts or as precision locating pins. Other uses for needle roller bearings include crank pins, precision shafts and as locating pins. Advantages of Needle Roller Bearings • Due to the smaller cross-section, greater rigidity, higher load-carrying capacity and lower inertia of the needle roller bearings help size and weight reductions in the machinery. • Though they are less wide, their load carrying capacity is high and is most suitable for applications where the load is high and the radial space is less. • Needle roller bearings, which are designed to withstand oscillation can operate under severe conditions and interchange with sliding bearings. Typical Applications • Transmissions, transfer cases, engines and valve trains • Steering and braking systems • Axle support • Outboard engines • Power tools • Copiers, fax machines, paper-moving equipment • Appliances Expanded Options English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 66 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 66 • Assemblies with bearings • Engineered polymer cages • Bearings with one or two seals • Closed end bearings • Oil holes • Drawn sleeves Types of Needle Roller Bearings Different types of Needle roller bearings involved in general engineering are: • Drawn cup needle roller bearings • Drawn cup needle roller bearings with closed ends • With and without inner rings English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 67 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 67 [...]... device English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 25 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 25 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 26 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 26 PART 2: MECHANICAL ACTUATION SYSTEMS CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION MECHANISMS Mechanisms are devices which can be considered to be motion converters in that they transform motion from one form to some other required form They... seven-segment indicator, is a form of electronic display device for displaying decimal numerals that is an alternative to the more complex dot-matrix displays Seven-segment displays are widely used in digital clocks, electronic meters, and other electronic devices for displaying numerical information English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 15 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 15 A seven segment... program for compiling and simple device to transfer the code from PC to the chip itself Even though the whole process is quite logical, there are often some queries, not because it is complicated, but for numerous variations Let’s take a look English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 23 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 23 Writing program in assembly language In order to write a program for the... conventional current flow when the device is in forward active mode A mnemonic device for the remembering the symbol for a PNP transistor is pointing in (proudly), based on the arrows in the symbol and the letters in the name That is, the PNP transistor is the BJT transistor that is "pointing in" English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 19 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 19 P-N-P Transistor CHAPTER... obtained by the use of mechanisms are, however, often nowadays being obtained, as a result of a mechatronics approach, by the use of English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 27 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 27 microprocessor systems For example, cams on a rotating shaft were previously used for domestic washing machines in order to give a timed sequence of actions such as opening a valve... memory for the program (ROM or flash), volatile memory for input and output (RAM), a clock and an I/O control unit Also called a "computer on a chip," billions of microcontroller units (MCUs) are embedded each year in a myriad of products from toys to appliances to automobiles For example, a single vehicle can use 70 or more microcontrollers English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 20 English for Mechatronics. .. electric noise As the microcontroller consists of several circuits which have different English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 22 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 22 operating voltage levels, this can because it’s out of control performance In order to prevent it, the microcontroller usually has a circuit for brown out reset built-in This circuit immediately resets the whole electronics when... pocket calculators English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 16 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 16 the digit drive lines would be used to scan the keyboard as well, providing further savings; however, pressing multiple keys at once would produce odd results on the multi plexed display An LED matrix or LED display is a large, low-resolution form of dot matrix display, useful both for industrial... allowing greater currents and faster operation A mnemonic device for the remembering the symbol for an NPN transistor is not pointing in, based on the arrows in the symbol and the letters in the name That is, the NPN transistor is the BJT transistor that is "not pointing in" English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 18 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 18 PNP TYPE The other type of BJT is the PNP,... configuration that provides the same polarity of output for either polarity of input When used in its most common application, for conversion of an alternating current (AC) input into direct current a (DC) output, it is known as a bridge rectifier A bridge rectifier provides full- English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 13 English for Mechatronics Engineering Page 13 wave rectification from a two-wire .
