  2. Introduction BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  3. ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT SYSTEM WHY? • Easy to transmit signal from measurement site • the data collection site • Easy to amplify, filter and modify • Easy to record the signal BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  4. Signal conditioning • Used in factory or machine automation : to convert sensor or transducer measurement signal levels to industry standard control signals • Provide computer and control system manufacturers a common communication method to effectively receive and transmit measurement and control data • Examples of measurement data : temperature or AC/DC voltage/current signals from various transducers • Examples of control data : on/off signals for a heating element or proportional signals for a valve actuator.

  5. Signal conditioning BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  6. Bridge circuits BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  7. Bridge circuits • Used to convert impedance variations into voltage variations • Can be design so the voltage produced varies around zero • Amplification can be used to increase voltage level for increased sensitivity to variation of impedance BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  8. Wheatstone bridge • D : voltage detector BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  9. Exercise 1 Determine; • R4 if a Wheatstone bridge nulls with R1 = 1000 Ω, R2 = 842 Ω, and R3 = 500 Ω. • The voltage offset if the supply voltage is 10.0 V. The resistors in a bridge are given by R1 = R2 = R3 = 120 Ω and R4 = 121 Ω. BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  10. Galvanometer detector BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  11. Exercise 2 A bridge circuit has a resistance of R1 = R2 = R3 = 2.00 kΩ and R4 = 2.05 kΩ and a 5.00 V supply. If a galvanometer with a 50.0 Ω internal resistance is used for a detector, calculate the offset current. BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  12. Bridge resolution • Resolution function of detector : to determine the bridge offset • Resistance resolution : resistance change in 1 arm bridge that causes an offset voltage equal to detector resolution • Detector can measure change of 100 µV BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  13. Resolution • The smallest discernible change in input; the smallest change in input that manifests itself as perceptible change in output that can be measured (example : 0.000 1 mm) • Primary factor in deciding precision • Good resolution does not imply in good precision BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  14. Current balance bridge BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  15. Current balance bridge • Used current to null bridge BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  16. Exercise 3 A current balance bridge has a 10 V supply voltage and resistors R1 = R2 = 10 kΩ, R3 = 1 kΩ, R4 = 950 Ω, R5 = 50 Ω and a high impedance null detector. Determine the current required to null the bridge if R3 increased by 1 Ω. BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  35. Filters BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  36. Filters • Filter : a circuit that is designed to pass signals with desired frequencies and reject or attenuate others • 4 types of filters: • Low-pass filter: passes low frequencies and stops high frequencies • High-pass filter: passes high frequencies and rejects low frequencies • Band-pass filter: passes frequencies within a frequency band and blocks or attenuates frequencies outside the band • Band-reject filter: passes frequencies outside a frequency band and blocks or attenuates frequencies within the band BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  37. Low-pass RC filter BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  38. Low-pass RC filter • Critical frequency: • Output-to-input voltage ratio: BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  39. Exercise 10 A measurement signal has a frequency less than 1 kHz, but there is unwanted noise at about 1 MHz. Design a lowpass filter that attenuates the noise to 1% if a capacitor 0.01 µF has been used. What is the effect on the measurement signal at its maximum of 1 kHz? BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  40. High-pass RC filter BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  41. High-pass RC filter • Critical frequency: • Output-to-input voltage ratio: BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  42. Exercise 11 Pulses for a stepping motor are being transmitted at 2000 Hz. Design a highpass filter to reduce 60 Hz noise and reduce the pulses by no more than 3 dB. BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  43. Design Methods • Determine critical frequency, fc • Select standard capacitor (µF – pF) • Calculate required resistance (1 kΩ - 1 MΩ) • Use nearest resistance standard value to calculated value • Consider tolerance in resistors and capacitors BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  44. Practical considerations • Very small resistance -> lead to large currents and loading effects -> avoid large capacitance (R= kΩ -MΩ, C= µF – pF) • The exact fc is not important, choose R and C of approximately to the fc • Isolation filter input/output with voltage follower • Cascade RC filters to improved fc sharpness -> consider loading BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning

  47. Exercise 12 A signal conditioning system uses a frequency variation from 6 kHz to 60 kHz to carry measurement information. There is considerable noise at 120 Hz and at 1 MHz. Design a bandpass filter to reduce the noise by 90%. What is the effect on the desired passband frequencies if r = 0.01? Determine all the resistors and capacitors. BMCC 4743 Signal Conditioning
