This paper is carrying out a practical identification of a DC servomotor from input and output data. The system’s step response was obtained from an acquisition card that we have developed using a microcontroller. The data is collected and downloaded to the PC Thought RS232 Protocol to process the identification process using polynomial models (ARX,…

This work extends the development of the nonuniform Parallel Digital Ramp Pulse Position Modulation Analog-to-Digital Converter (PDRADC) architecture. The continuous to discrete transform of the PDRADC is achieved by partitioning the signal amplitude axis into P nonoverlapping partitions that sample the analog input at input signal driven instances. Each partition contains L uniform levels with…

This work describes computerized data acquisition system for current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of diodes. The proposed system consist of a personal computer pre-installed with LabVIEW, two units of power supply, an interface board, current and voltage sensors. Two devices under test (DUTs) are selected namely 1N4007 silicon and 1N34 germanium diodes. The current flow through the…

Advanced sensing technologies are providing for greater capabilities to discern and classify details of objects as they appear in actual environments as experienced by nonprofessional drivers. Distinctive geometric configurations of new sensory devices including but not limited to infrared (abbreviated as IR) and LIDAR sensory units are appearing as cost effective data acquisition systems for…

In this paper, hexa spacer damper is proposed and its vibration damping effect on the 765 kV power transmission network under the influence of fluctuating wind (10-60 Hz) loading is validated. This asymmetrical loadings led the bundle of Zebra ACSR conductor to be twisted and hence, cause mechanical and electrical instabilities across the span length.…

A precise modelling plant system is substantial to improve the design of the DC motor controller, where a low accurate model may cause an unacceptable controller system. This study presents a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) system for design a high speed motor data acquisition system (HSMDAQS) and injected collected data (ICD) Simulink model to estimate accurately the…

Bearings are the key components of many rotating machines, in which serious failure or even major breakdown may occur due to their abnormal operation and defects. Thus, accurate fault diagnoses of bearing elements are essential for proactive predictive maintenance. However, the using of multiple sensors with high sampling rate reveal considerable shortages in the analysis…

With the advancement in the field of Internet-of-Things (IoT), event monitoring applications have rapidly evolved from a simple event data acquisition towards predictive event analytics involving multi-sensory data aggregation in a distributed environment. Existing event monitoring schemes are mainly relying on ine_cient centralized processing mechanism, which may lead to the common single-point of failure for…

It is high time to control and prevent power theft by manipulating the meter reading and tampering of the meter. It is possible to deal power theft by developing Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and smart grids. For most of the distribution companies, utility smart meters’ data is serving as wealthy source of information beyond billing.…

The object of this paper is to identify the unknown electrical parameters of solar photovoltaic generators in real time, through the application of a novel suggested hybrid method. The identification process is discussed with details, about the four steps of identification. In this issue, the first step describes the experimental data acquisition work done to…

There is a growing interest in using radio frequency in imaging for problem solving in situational awareness, surveillance, search and rescue operations, and screening for security. This has been fetched from recent development in addition to innovative technologies in microwave radar imaging applications. Despite the fact that no new phenomenology is exposed in this field,…

Over the years, pneumatic systems have recorded a remarkable performance in automated applications, based on their cost to efficiency ratio and ease of energy transmission.  Therefore, their drawback of not being totally controllable devices in terms of position accuracy, still represents a challenge task for engineers. In this paper, a traditional three term controller (PID)…
