Project Synopsis On
The first mechanical tachometers were based on measuring the centrifugal force,
similar to the operation of a centrifugal governor. The inventor is assumed to be
the German engineer Dietrich Uhlhorn; he used it for measuring the speed of
machines in 1817 Since 1840, it has been used to measure the speed
of locomotives.
LITERATURE SURVEY:
In this paper the author has discussed about
various researches that has been done in the development of contactless
tachometer. Here author has used arduino-Unoboard for controlling part. The IR
sensor consists of LED and photodiode. Motor rotates in front of sensor, this
interrupts the light and forms pulse which is given as input to microcontroller.
Arduino takes average of 3 consecutive readings and displays it LCD. Also the
system has arduino program for threshold value of motor speed and if the speed
exceeds this value then the motor will be turned off. [2]The paper focuses
mainly on digital tachometer which gives output directly i.e. Numeric digital
output. The author has made used of the infrared transmission technique; thus
the system has a controller sensor and display unit the microcontroller used is
At89c52 as the controlling unit. This paper presents a new approach for
contactless speed monitoring and displaying. Here the tachometer contactless
which measures the speed in RPM is designed with the help of microcontroller
and diodes. The author uses At89s52 as a microcontroller. This is programmed
in c program and complied using keil complier. This paper describes the basic
construction of a low cost optical tachometer and analyzes its performance. The
basic tachometer circuit consists of two stages. In the first stage mono stable
wired around IC NE555 is used, and in the second stage a digital counter based
4-digit counter IC74C926 is used for the construction of the tachometer. A
5Vregulated power supply circuit and an infrared light source circuit are also
used. The instrument can measure speed upto 9999 RPM. The paper presents the
design of a very flexible, low cost speed evaluation system. The system provides
a fast dynamic response and a high accuracy over a wide speed range. The
proposed design is suitable for a wide range of applications and can he
integrated as part of an existing tachometer assembly. Hardware requirements
and appropriate software structures for a microcontroller implementation are
discussed. This paper designs a tachometer which works on the principle of an
induction machine. It must have windings on the stator as well as rotor. One of
the winding is connected to the supply. When the rotor of this tachometer is
coupled to the drive, the frequency of EMF induced in the rotor winding will
depend on the speed of the rotor. Since the speed of the
drive is very low, the frequency of the induced EMF is in the same range as that
of applied voltage. This frequency can be easily measured using counters .In this
paper a new approach to the digital measurement
of angular velocity is presented. This new instrument performs the division by
time that has been carefully avoided in the existing instruments. The accuracy
and resolution of the transducer does not depend upon the number of revolution.
The measurements can be made in a very short time, leading to up to 14,700
samples per second.
