consists of a piece of wire wrapped around a
ceramic or glass core. Because of their compact
size, RTD elements are commonly used when
space is very limited.

ROTAMETERROTAMETER
The Rotameter consists of a metal float and a
conical glass tube, constructed such that the
diameter increases with height.
When there is no fluid passing through the Rota
meter, the float rests at the bottom of the tube.
As fluid enters the tube, the higher density of the
float will cause the float to remain on the bottom.
As flow increases in the tube, the pressure drop
increases.
.
09/26/2509/26/25 3636
When the pressure drop is sufficient, the float
will rise to indicate the amount of flow.

pressure drop.

mounted on opposite sides of the pipe. These pulses
are fired alternately upstream and downstream.

LOAD CELLLOAD CELL
A load cell is a transducer that converts a
load acting on it into an analog electrical
signal.
This conversion is achieved by the physical
deformation of strain gages which are
bonded into the load cell beam and wired
into a wheatstone bridge configuration.

STRAIN-GAUGE LOAD STRAIN-GAUGE LOAD
CELLSCELLS
Strain-gage load cells convert the load acting on them into
electrical signals.
The gauges themselves are bonded onto a structural
member that deforms when weight is applied.
In most cases, four strain gages are used to obtain maximum
sensitivity and temperature compensation. Two of the
gauges are usually in tension, and two in compression, and
are wired with compensation adjustments as shown in
Figure.
When weight is applied, the strain changes the electrical
resistance of the gauges in proportion to the load.

SPEED TRANSDUCERSPEED TRANSDUCER
Speed transducers are widely used for
measuring the output speed of a rotating
object.
Optical Types
They use a light beam and a light sensitive
cell. The beam is either reflected or
interrupted so that pulses are produced for
each revolution. The pulses are then
counted over a fixed time and the speed
obtained.

ENCODERSENCODERS
An encoder is a sensing device that provides feedback from the
physical world it converts motion to an electrical signal which
can be read by some type of control device. Currently, the
most common technology employed by encoders is optical.
Encoders may produce either incremental or absolute signals.
Incremental signals provide a series of high and low waves
which indicate movement from one position to the next.
Diagram is the basic construction of an incremental encoder.
09/26/2509/26/25 5959
A beam of light emitted from an LED passes
through a transparent disk patterned with
opaque lines.
The light beam is picked up by a photosensor.
The photosensor produces a sinusoidal wave
form, which is transformed into a square
wave or pulse train.
This pulse signal is then sent to the counter
or controller which will then send the signal
to produce the desired function.

TACHOMETERTACHOMETER
There are two types, A.C. and D.C. The A.C. type
generates a sinusoidal output. The frequency of the
voltage represents the speed of rotation. The frequency
must be counted and processed. The D.C. type generates
a voltage directly proportional to the speed. Both types
must be coupled to the rotating body. Very often the
tachometer is built into electric motors to measure their
speed.

MAGNATIC PICK UPSMAGNATIC PICK UPS
These use an inductive coil placed near to the rotating body. A
small magnet on the body generates a pulse every time it passes
the coil. If the body is made of ferrous material, it will work without
a magnet. A discontinuity in the surface such as a notch will cause
a change in the magnetic field and generate a pulse. The pulses
must be processed to produce an analogue or digital output.

ON-OFF CONTROLLER
The output from it is either ON or OFF, with no middle
state.
It will switch the output only when the temperature
crosses the set point.
For heating control, the output is ON when the
temperature is below the set point, and OFF above set
point.
Since the temperature crosses the set point to change the
output state, the process temperature will be cycling
continually, going from below set point to above, and
back below.

On-off control is usually used where a precise

PID CONTROL
PID controller provides proportional action
with two additional adjustments, integral and
derivative, which helps the unit automatically
compensate for changes in the system.
Integral and derivative, are expressed in time-
based units; they are also referred as RESET
and RATE.
The proportional, integral and derivative terms
must be individually adjusted or “tuned” to a
particular system using trial and error.
09/26/2509/26/25 9292
It is recommended in systems where the load
changes often and the controller is expected
to compensate automatically the amount of
energy available, or the mass to be
controlled.
It provides the most accurate and stable
control of the three controller types, and is
best used in systems which have a relatively
small mass and those which react quickly to
changes in the energy added to the process.
