Lab no 1:

Introduction to mechatronics
lab,tools and different electronic
components

Objectives:
 Introduction to mechatronics
 To know about different tools and electronic components.

Theoretical background:
Mechatronics
Mechatronics, which is also called mechatronic engineering, is a
multidisciplinary branch of engineering that focuses on the engineering of both electrical and
mechanical systems, and also includes a combination of robotics, electronics, computer,
telecommunications, systems, control, and product engineering.

1. Basic electronic components:


Resistor:
A device having resistance to the passage of an electric current.Resistor has
following types:
 Wire wound Resistors.
 Metal film Resistor.
 Thick film and Thin film Resistors.
 Surface mount Resistors.
 Network Resistors.
 Variable Resistors.
 Light-dependent Resistors
Series combination resistor:
A series circuit is a circuit in which resistors are
arranged in a chain, so the current has only one path to take. The current is the same through
each resistor.

Rt= R1+ R2+ R3

parallel combination resistor:


we can define a parallel resistive circuit as one
where the resistors are connected to the same two points (or nodes) and is identified by the
fact that it has more than one current path connected to a common voltage source

capacitor:
A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electronic component that stores
electrical energy in an electric field. The effect of a capacitor is known as capacitance.

Series combination capacitor:


When capacitors are connected in series,
the total capacitance is less than any one of the series capacitors’ individual capacitances. If
two or more capacitors are connected in series, the overall effect is that of a single
(equivalent) capacitor having the sum total of the plate spacings of the individual capacitors.
As we’ve just seen, an increase in plate spacing, with all other factors unchanged, results in
decreased capacitance.
Thus, the total capacitance is less than any one of the individual capacitors’ capacitances. The
formula for calculating the series total capacitance is:

parallel combination capacitor:


When capacitors are connected in
parallel, the total capacitance is the sum of the individual capacitors’ capacitances. If two or
more capacitors are connected in parallel, the overall effect is that of a single equivalent
capacitor having the sum total of the plate areas of the individual capacitors. As we’ve just
seen, an increase in plate area, with all other factors unchanged, results in increased
capacitance.

Thus, the total capacitance is more than any one of the individual capacitors’ capacitances.
The formula for calculating the parallel total capacitance is:

Semi-conductor:
A solid substance that has a conductivity between that of an
insulator and that of most metals, either due to the addition of an impurity or because of
temperature effects. Devices made of semiconductors, notably silicon, are essential
components of most electronic circuits

Transistor:
A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch
electronic signals and electrical power. It is composed of semiconductor material usually with
at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit

Relays:
Relays are switches that open and close circuits electromechanically or
electronically. Relays control one electrical circuit by opening and closing contacts in another
circuit. As relay diagrams show, when a relay contact is normally open (NO), there is an open
contact when the relay is not energized

Logic gates:
A logic gate is an elementary building block of a digital circuit.
Most logic gates have two inputs and one output. At any given moment, every terminal is in
one of the two binary conditions low (0) or high (1), represented by different voltage levels.
Transformers:
A transformer is a static electrical device that transfers electrical
energy between two or more circuits. A varying current in one coil of the transformer
produces a varying magnetic flux, which, in turn, induces a varying electromotive force across
a second coil wound around the same core.

Voltage regulators:
A voltage regulator is a system designed to
automatically maintain a constant voltage level. A voltage regulator may use a simple feed-
forward design or may include negative feedback. It may use an electromechanical
mechanism, or electronic components.
2. Introduction to microcontroller/microprocessor:
 Micro controller

 Assembly language

 Keil software

 Burning of program in micro controller

3. Interfacing of electronic components with micro-


controller:
 Timer delay(LED blinking)

 DC/stepper motor motion/direction control

 Temperature sensor thermistor

 LCD interfacing

 Analog to digital convertor

 Relay with a load(bulb)

 Transistor as switch
