Synopsis:

Note: This subject is not recommended for those who already studied "Sensor

and Transducers".

Principles of common sensors. Methods for analog signal processing and A/D

conversion of the sensor signal. Intelligent sensors. Systems for

acquisition, transfer and processing of the measured data (from centralized

industrial and laboratory systems to distributed monitoring systems).

Software for measurement. Examples of typical applications. User-oriented.

(Not for study branch „Technical Cybernetics and Measurement“.)

Requirements:

Basics from electronics and physics.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Applications, types and parameters of sensors. Intelligent sensors. Datalogger and measurement system.

2. Physical principles of sensors. Signal processing schemes.

3. Analog circuits for sensor signal processing. Error correction, calibration, diagnostics.

4. Interfacing to microprocessor. AD converters. Measurement modules. Centralized and distributed systems.

5. Sensor buses (HART, ASI). Software for measurement. SCADA.

6. Sensors of geometrical parameters (contact / contactless, magnetic, inductive).

7. Sensors of position (capacitance, ultrasound, optical).

8. Sensors and transducers for measurement of vibrations, speed and acceleration. Sensors for navigation.

9. Sensors for measurement of stress, force and torque.

10. Sensors of pressure.

11. Sensors of flow and level.

12. Contact temperature sensors: from thermocouple to web thermometer.

13. Pyrometry - contactless temperature measurement.

14. Chemical sensors and biosensors. Environment monitoring.

Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Introduction

2. Modulation and synchronous detection (vibration measurement)

3. Plug-in cards for DC measurements (strain gauges and torque measurement)

4. Position measurement, calibration of ultrasound distance meter by digita

scope

5. Plug-in cards and virtual instrumentation for dynamic measurement

(LabView)

6. Correlation measurement: FFT and LabWindows

7. Datalogger (accelerometer)

8. Flow measurement

9. Semiconductor temperature sensors

10. Measuring amplifier versus measuring system (resistance thermometers)

11. HART and analog processor (processing of the signal form thermocouple)

12. Contactless temperature measurement

13. Sensors for gas analysis and for humidity measurement

14. Assessment
