Mp4706 Sensors Instrumentation And Control Assessment Answer

Question:

Any assignment submitted late, but within 5 working days of the deadline, will be given amaximum mark of 50%. Assignments submitted more than 5 working days after the deadline will not be marked, and a mark of 0% will be recorded.

Learning Outcome to be assessed:

1 Demonstrate knowledge and critical understanding of sensors and transducers typically encountered in engineering applications

2 Understand critically the practical aspects of sensor use and type

3 Demonstrate knowledge and critical understanding of the principles of instrumentation and measurement systems

4 Demonstrate knowledge and critical understanding in the devise of an appropriate and effective strategy for processing data; virtual instrumentation and virtual simulation

Provide a detailed, professional report for your director that contains the following:

1- A review of different LMI systems used in cranes industry including their main elements.

2- A design of a typical LMI system that incorporates the measurement of craneparameters including boom length, boom angle, load, outriggers position, and temperature. The system design should include DAQ/ microcontroller and any other required elements for a typical LMI system.

3- A measurement software program (LabVIEW/ C++) that can be used to provide the following parameters, log the measurement data, and give warning alarms when limits of the following parameters are exceeded.

➢ Boom length

➢ Outriggers position

➢ Load

➢ Driver cabinet temperature

4- Experimental results and critical analysis that evaluate two sensors of the LMI system using the NI DAQ/ Microcontroller and NI LabVIEW/ C++ software.

5- An evaluation of signal conditioning elements that are required to measure the load using strain gauges.

6- Proposal for the next phases of development to include the following:

A. Using of a low-cost controller instead of the current one

B. Other methods of data transmissions; wireless or wired data transmission, and use of the Internet of Things
