Object : Measurement of flow rate by anemometer.
Description :
This Trainer Kit is designed for the students to understand the working of an Air Velocity
Transducer (Anemometer). In this kit a fan is moved with the flow of air. The rotation of the fan is
sensed by the infra red sensor, the output pulses of the sensor is counted by an digital counter.
Theory :
Anemometer is widely used to measure the air velocity. Various types of anemometers are
available e.g. cup anemometer, rotary fan type anemometer. Here, rotary fan type anemometer is used.
Infra red sensors are used to measure the rotation of the fan. Infra red emitter generate the ray which
falls on the infra red receiver. When the fan rotates it cuts the rays falling on the receiver, these pluses
after proper wave shaping is given to the 4 digit display counter. The time in units of seconds is also
generated and counts on a 3 digit display counter. A switch is provided to start and stop the counting
on both the display. With in a pre selected time, the number of counts are obtained from the display
and then with the following method the air velocity can be obtained.
As per IMD (Indian Metrological Department) specifications if a Anemometer rotates 320
revolutions in a hour, then , the air velocity will be 1 Km/Hr.
In the present trainer kit, we get 8 pulses in one revolutions,
Hence, in 320 revolutions the total numbers of pulses will be,
= 320 x 8 = 2650
i.e., if we get 2560 pulses in a hour then the air velocity will be 1 Km/Hr
From this, we can drive the following equation to get the air velocity,
Total number of counts
Air Velocity = ------------------------------- x 0.390625 (meter/sec.) ------(1)
Time in seconds
For example, if we get 3080 counts in 120 sec.
Then, Air Velocity
= [3080 / 120] x 0.390625 (meter/sec.)

= 10.026meter/sec.
Operation :
1.
Connect the Air velocity Sensor leads with the trainer kit terminals.
2.
Connect the 3 pin mains plug of the kit to the mains socket
(230V 10%,50Hz power supply).
3.
Now, reset counter and time display.
4.
Keep TO Count switch to OFF position (Upper Side).
5.
Keep air velocity sensor near to air blower and start the blower.
6.
Keep TO Count switch to ON position (Lower Side), both the counter and time will start
counting.
7.
Keep TO Count switch to OFF position (Upper Side) after a predetermined time, both the
display will show some reading. By using the equation (1) one can calculate the air velocity.
8.
Now some more reading can be taken by changing the distance between air velocity sensor
and air blower or by changing the speed of the blower, or by keeping air velocity sensor near
to any other fan etc.

Object : Measurement of load using strain gauge based load cell.
Description :
Strain Gauge based Load Cell Measurement Trainer is designed for the students of
Instrumentation Course. It allows the students to under stand the concept of Load Cell. Its
application and its associated electronic circuits.
Theory :
The Load Cell is an Electro mechanical sensor employed to measure static and dynamic
force. Load Cells can be designed to handle a wide range of operating forces with high level
of reliability and hence its is one of the most popular transducer in industrial measurements.
The Load Cells derives it output from the deformation of an elastic member having high
tensile strength. The basic design parameters includes relative size and shape material density
and modulus of elasticity, strain sensitivity, deflection and dynamic response. Through a
careful choice of the material and structural configuration. A linear relationship between a
dimensional change and measured force can be achieved. The material so chosen should
posses the following properties.
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
Linear Stress Strain relationship up to a fairly large elastic strain limit.

Low Strain Hysteresis over repeated loading.
Very low creep over long periods of loading.
Very low plastic flow due to strain.
The most popular configurations of load cells are :

(i)
Column type.
(ii)
Proving Ring Type.
(iii)
Cantilever Beam Type.
(iv)
Shear Type.
In all the configuration deformation is sensed by the strain gauges. It is important that in all
cases the strain gauge should be suitably located so that the output strain is linearly
proportional to the input force with minimum Hysteresis and creep, high readability and
overload capacity. Some of the configuration have excellent immunity to adverse side eccentric
loads.
In all types of load cells, the stress developed due to force on loading is measured with four
electrical strain gauges. All four strain gauges are connected to form a four arm active
Wheatstone Bridge.

Theory :
If a metal conductor is stretched or compressed, its resistance changes on account of the fact that both
length and diameter of conductor change. Also there is a change in the value of resistivity of the
conductor when it is strained and this property is called piezo-resistive effect.
If a conductor of elastic material is subjected to tension or in other words positively strained, its
longitudinal dimensions will increase while there will be a reduction in the lateral dimensions. So
when a gauge is subjected to a positive strain, its length increases while its area of cross-section
decrease. Since the resistance of a conductor is proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its area of a
cross-section, the resistance of the gauge increases with positive strain.
The resistance of unstrained gauge is

RANGE
Theory :
A thermocouple is a thermoelectric device that converts thermal energy into electrical
energy. The thermocouple is used as a primary transducer for measurement of temperature,
converting temperature changes directly into e.m.f. three phenomena which govern the
behavior of a thermocouple are the see beck effect, the Peltier effect and the Thompson effect
and the Thompson effect. While many metals and alloys exhibit the thermoelectric effect,
only a small number of them are widely applied for temperature measurement of all the
metals used for thermocouples, platinum is stable and platinum / platinum rhodium
thermocouple is the primary standard for temperature between 630.5 0C and 10630C. its
sensitivity is only about 6 V/0C and is used upto 1500 0C. Constantine (Ni 40%, Cu 40%) is
another alloy that is used with copper, iron or chromel (Ni 90%, Cr 10%). Chopper /
Constantine thermocouple has the maximum sensitivity of 60 V/0C and is useful for the
range from 2000C to + 4000C.
In suction type thermocouple system, the thermocouple is exposed to the hot gas after
it is extracted from the hot furnace and made to flow continuously past the hot junction. The
thermocouple is provided with a radiation shield so that it does not radiate more heat to the
cooler walls of the gases, than that it receivers by radiation.
The immersion type thermocouple system is intended to measure the temperature of
hot liquids and gases by immersing it into the medium of the test fluids. For
temperature upto 5000C, they are directly used if a rapid indication is desired, otherwise a
protecting tube of mild steel of sufficient length is used. The thermoelectric characteristics of
the thermocouple wires changes due to oxidation in the test fluids and the wires may be
corroded in certain fluids.
Thermocouple is the most commonly used electrical device for temperature
measurement. It is a bimetallic device consisting of two wires. The thermocouple provided
with this set up is chromel Alumed (K type). If the junction of the thermocouple is
heated then the thermo electric emf developed across its terminals depends upon the
difference in temperature between its cold and hot junction of thermocouple.

STUDY OF LINEAR VARIABLE DIFFERENTIAL TRANSFORMER (LVDT),

MODEL LVDT 10 A.
17
The Linear Variable Differential Transformer is called a line displacement transducer.

A linear variable differential transformer is an electromechanical transducer that measures very
small linear movements in structures and mechanical device, mechanical motion is converted
in an electrical signal that contains position information.
A LVDT is essentially a differential transformer, primary coil and two secondary coils
are symmetrically wound for a cylindrical non magnetic former and iron core is movable,
when the primary coil is energized by an A.C. Source, voltage are induced in the two
secondary coils. These coils are connected in such a manner that the induced voltages are
1800 out of phase. The relationship between the output signal and the carrier is an indication
of the direction of core movement from the centre position.

Unpacked the instrument inspect regarding any damage from outward conditions and if any
breakage found, a claim should be lodged with the carrier and company should be intimated
immediately. Please retain the original packing till it is finally installed to your entire
satisfaction.
Mechanical Check :
Please check that all components parts such as keys, knobs terminals, connectors, fuse
holders, should be intact.

To study Phase shift on C.R.O.
A residual voltage is usually observed at the zero position of the core. This voltage,
though very small, is due to incomplete magnetic or electrical balance and is normally at the
carrier frequency.
The mechanical force needed to move the core depends on its position, viz, minimum
at the centre position and maximum at the two ends. The actual force is however quite
small since the primary current in most designs is kept small to avoid heating of the coils.
In the same way, the output impedance of the LVDT is also dependent on the position of the
core and it is therefore desirable to connect a high impedance circuit at its output to
minimize LVDT loading.
For zero loading, the LVDT may be shown to be given by
e0 = e C
s (M1 M2)
%
RP + sLP
(M1 M2)
eC
, for sLP RP
LP
Where :
e0 = is Carrier amplitude (Excitation voltage)
M1 M2 are mutual inductances between primary and the two secondaries.
They are functions of x, the displacement.
RP LP are Resistance and inductance of the primary coil.
Thus e0 is proportional to (M 1 M2) and also to the displacement, x(t) of the core from the
centre point.
Assuming the carrier as eC = a.cos(wCt), it can be shown that e 2 2a.cos(wCt), which
is a suppressed carrier amplitude modulated signal, the carrier being cancelled by the series
opposition connection of the two secondaries.
The process of demodulation consists of multiplying the above signal by the carrier
i.e. << ed = 2a.x(t).cos. wct b.cos wct
A low pass filter will recover the displacement information from above to field e d =
a b x (t)

Object: To measure the temperature by RTD.
Theory :
This chapter explains the working principle of the RTD and associated instrumentation
in brief. It is assumed that the student has access to some standard text book which explains
the theory and working principle in detail.
Resistance Temperature Detector (Rtd) :
The resistivity of metals increases with an increase in temperature (i.e. the temperature
coefficient is positive), where as in some semiconductors the resistance decreases with an
increase in temperature (i.e. the temperature coefficient is negative).
The resistance thermometer based on the above phenomenon is one of the most
accurately reproducible temperature sensing device. PT 100 is unduly used as a R.T.D.
Signal Conditioner Module :
AC constant current signal is applied on the R.T.D. to make it operative. The output
of the R.T.D. is directly fed to the input of D.C. differential amplifier and then is fed to a
summing amplifier with a gain and zero adjustment to obtain the output directly in
engineering unit of temperature.
The final output of the amplifier is fed to Digital Panel Meter to display the
temperature.
Gain adjustment pot is given for the adjustment of amplifier gain and zero pot is
given for the zero adjustment.
Variable Resistance Source :
A 99 to 150 ohm. variable resistance (wire wound potentiometer is provided with the
set up to calibrate the signal conditioners module for measurement of temperature directly
in 0C.
A Table for Resistance versus Temperature for PT 100 is given below :

EXPERIMENT NO - 9
Object : Study of P, PI & PID controller.
Theory:
In order to obtain more accurate control, the controlled signal must be feedback compared the
with reference input, and actuating signal proportional to the difference of the output and the
input be sent through the system to correct the error. A control system with one or more
feedback paths is called a closed loop control system or feedback control system.
The block diagram of closed-loop control system is shown in Fig. 2.
The concept of feedback plays an important role in control systems. Feedback has effects on
system performance characteristics as stability, bandwidth, overall gain, system error,
impedance, sensitivity, transient response and frequency response.
1) Proportional Control.
2) Proportional plus Integral Control.
3) Proportional plus integral plus derivative control
Procedure:
Controller Calibration :
1.
Apply a square wave signal of 100, mVp-p at the input of the error detector. Connect
P, I & D outputs to the summer and display controller output on the CRO.
2.
With P-potentiometer set to maximum and I- and D- potentiometers set to zero,

obtain maximum value of KP as :
(p-p) square wave output
KP (max.)
=
p-p square wave input
3.
With I potentiometer set to maximum and P and D potentiometers set to zero, a

ramp will be on CRO. Maximum value of Ki is then give by :
4 x f x (p-p) triangular wave output amplitude in volts.
Ki (max.)
=
p-p square wave amplitude in volts
Where f is frequency of the input signal.

4.
Set D potentiometer of maximum and P & I potentiometers to zero. A series of sharp pulse
will be seen on the CRO. This is obviously not suitable for calibrating the D potentiometer.
Instead, applying a triangular wave at the input of the error detector a square wave is seen on
the CRO.
p-p square wave output
Kd (max.)
=
4 x f x (p-p) triangular wave input
Where f is frequency of the input signal.
25
5.
Set all the three potentiometer P, I & D to maximum values and apply a square wave
input of 100 mVolt (p-p). Observe and trace the step response of the PID controller.
Identify the effects of the P, I & D control individually on the shape of this response.
Proportional Control :
This experiment would familiarize the student with the present unit and the general features
of linear system. The steps suggested are :
1

3
Make connection as shown in Fig. 4 (a) with process made up of time delay and
time constant blocks. Notice the CRO operation in the X-Y mode ensures stable
display even at low frequencies.
Set input amplitude to 1 Volt (P-P)
For various values of Kp = 0.2, 0.4, .. measure from the screen the value of peak overshoot
and steady state error and tabulate (Refer to Fig. 4 (b) for graphical calculation).
Alternatively, a simultaneous display of square wave input and system response using a dual trace
Oscilloscope may be used to get a very clear idea of the transient and steady state performances.
Some flickering may however be observed in this case this due to the low frequencies involved.
Observe that the second order type 0 system has non zero steady state error for step input which
decrease with increasing Kp while the peak overshoot increase.
Proportion Integral Control :
The integral term results in increasing the system type number by unity and thus causes
improvement in steady in steady state performance
1
Make connections for a First order type 0 system with time delay Fig. 4 (a) with
proportional and integral block connected).
Set input amplitude to 1 Volt (P-P), and Ki to zero.
For Kp = 0.6 (say), observe and record the peak overshoot and steady state error.
With the Kp as above increase Ki in small steps & record peak overshoot and steady state
error.
Observe that the given value of Kp increasing of gain Ki improves the steady state performance.
Excessive increase of Ki however results in an inferior transient response.
Proportional Integral Derivative Control :
This experiment will demonstrate the improvement in improvement in transient performance
by the introduction of derivative control. The following steps are suggested :
1
2

4
Make connections as shown in Fig. 4 (a) with proportional, integral and derive blocks
connected.
Set input amplitude to 1 Volt (P-P) Kp = 0.6, Ki = 54.85 (scale setting of 0.06) and Kd =0.
The system shows a fairly large overshoot. Record the peak overshoot and steady state error:
Repeat the above step for a few non-zero values of K d.
observe the improvement in transient performance will increasing values of K d, while the t\steady
state error remains unchanged.
For Kp = 0.6, adjust Kd by trial and error to obtain the overall response. Record the values
of Kp, Td Repeat for Kp = 0.4, 0.2 etc.

of sampling rate & width of the sampling pulses.
Equipments: - Sampling and reconstruction Kit ST- 2101
Theory: Sampling can be defined as measuring the value of an information signal at predetermined
time intervals. The rate of which the signal is sampled is known as the sampling rate or sampling
frequency. It is the major parameter, which decided the quality of, reproduce signal. If signal is
sampled quit frequently (whose limit is specified by Nyquist Criterion), then it can be reproduce
exactly at the receiver with no distortion. Sampling is a process of taking the instantaneous value of
the analog information at predetermined time interval. The analog signal is first sampled according to
the Nyquist Criteria. Nyquist Criteria states that for faithful reproduction of the limited signal the
sampling rate must be at least twice the highest frequency component present in the signal.
Sampling Frequency > 2fm
The sampled value is the allocated binary codes, which defines a narrow range of amplitude
value. Each binary word defines a particular amplitude level. The sampled value is then approximated
to the nearest amplitude level.

Theory:-
In PCM System the amplitude of the sampled waveform at define time intervals is represented

The sampled value is the allocated binary codes, which defines a narrow range of amplitude
values. Each binary word defines a particular amplitude level. The sampled value is then
approximated to the nearest amplitude level.
The samples are then assigned a code corresponding to the amplitude level, which is then transmitted.

Theory:
Phase Shift Keying involves the phase change of the carrier sine wave between 0 and 180
in accordance with the data stream to be transmitted. Phase Shift Keying is also known as Phase
Reversal Keying (PSK). The PSK modulator is very similar to ASK modulator. Both uses balanced
modulator to multiply the carrier with the modulating signal. But in contrast, to Ask technique, the
digital signal applied to the modulation input for PSK generation is bipolar i.e. have equal positive
and negative voltage level. When the modulating input is positive, the output of the modulator is a
sine wave in phase with the carrier input. Where as for the negative voltage levels, the output of
modulator is a sine wave, which is shifted out of phase by 180 0 from the carrier input. This happens
because the negative constant level now multiplies the carrier input.
DATA = 1 CARRIER IN PHASE
DATA = 0 CARRIER OUT OF PHASE

Theory: Error Control Coding Techniques:When the data is transmitted in the channel, bit error may be introduced by noise and other
factor existing in the channel error control coding techniques are used for detecting and correcting the
errors. They can be used for controlling single bit, two bit, and three bit errors, even parity codes &
odd parity codes. Hamming codes are normal error control coding techniques used for detection and
correction of all single bit the errors that occur in the transmission of data.
Hamming Codes:
Hamming codes are normal error control coding techniques used for detection and correction of all
single bit the errors that occur in the transmission of data.
Three bit hamming code provides single bit error detection and correction.
ST- 2103 & ST - 2104 involves the use of 7-bit word. Therefore only 4bits are used for transmitting
data and 3 -bit for hamming code.

Theory:
Amplitude Modulation is a type of modulation in which the amplitude of high frequency sine
wave (carrier) is varied in accordance with the instantaneous value of modulating signal.
Amplitude Demodulation is a process to extract modulating signal from an amplitude-modulated
signal. The extraction of the modulating signal from an AM signal can be carried out using an
Envelope detector. The most common envelope detector consists in a diode followed by a RC filter.
Modulation index -m = {Vmax + Vmin) / (Vmax - Vmin)} X100
