Control Straightforward Loop Operation

In a current loop, the output voltage from a sensor is first converted to a proportional current, in which 4mA normally represents the sensor's zero-level output and 20mA represents the full-scale output. A receiver at the remote end converts the 4-20mA current back to a voltage, which can be further processed by a computer or display module. The typical 4-20mA current-loop circuit consists of four elements: a sensor/transducer, a voltage-to-current converter, a loop power supply, and a receiver/monitor. In loop-powered applications, the sensor drives the voltage to- current converter, and the other three elements are connected in series to form a closed loop. This is the figure of the operation diagram.

Control RJ45 Port Pin Out

RJ45 is used to connect Ethernet port on your computer. There are two configuration: straight and cross. Straight RJ45 cables should be used to connect between computer and device such as switch or hub, and cross RJ45 cables should be used in computer-to-computer connection.  Some hub or switch has the capability to detect the cable type and accept both straight and cross RJ45 cables. This is the figure of the wiring diagram.

A straight Ethernet cable has same RJ-45 pin-out configuration at both end of the CAT-5 cable, either by using EIA/TIA-568A standard or EIA/TIA-568B standard.

Control Display Different LED Sequences Using the MAXQ2000 Microcontroller with the MAX6970 LED Driver

This is a design circuit for an application circuit and provides all the firmware required to interface the MAXQ2000 microcontroller evaluation, an 8-port, 36V constant-current LED driver. This is the figure of the circuit;

The MAX6970 is an 8-port, 36V constant-current LED driver that uses a 4-wire serial interface. Using this application note, the MAX6970 can be used with the MAXQ2000 16-bit RISC microcontroller to create a variety of simple LED sequences with the touch of a button. This circuit is will be used to select the LED sequence. Push down on the button for approximately 500ms and the first sequence of LEDs will turn on. Each bit of the 8-bit data sent to the slave corresponds to a LED on the circuit. When the push button count is 1, the sequence 0x55 will turn on for 250ms, alternate to 0xAA, and light up for 250ms. This sequence will repeat itself until the next time that SW5 is pressed. If SW5 is pressed during push count 5, then the next sequence will return to push count 1.

Control Telephone Operated Remote Control Using PIC16F84A

This design controls up to 8 devices using a PIC microcontroller (PIC16F84A) connected to the phone line. The unique feature here is that unlike other telephone line based remote control, this device does not need the call to be answered at the remote end so the call will not be charged. This device depends on number of rings given on the telephone line to activate/deactivate devices. This is the figure of the circuit.

Instructions for the telephone operated remote switch:
A) While constructing the main circuit, make sure you use 18pin sockets (base) for the PIC16F84A. Do not solder the IC directly to the board since you may have to remove it for programming. Before you use the PIC on the main circuit, you have to first program it.
B) To program the PIC16F84A microcontroller:
C) Remove the PIC from the programmer socket and put it into the main circuit socket.
 Set the DIP SWITCH as follows:
Switch3   Switch4      No. of initial rings to Switch ON(activate half of the board)
OFF        OFF             5
ON         OFF             4
OFF        ON              3
ON         ON              2

The number of initial rings to Switch OFF is one more than the number of rings to switch ON. For example, if you have set switch3 OFF & Switch4 ON then number of initial rings to activate half of the board to switch ON the relays is 3 and number of initial rings to activate half of the board to switch OFF the relays is 3+1 = 4
Switch1  Swtich2        Delay before making the second set of rings
OFF        OFF             20sec
ON         OFF             15sec
OFF        ON              10sec
ON         ON              5sec
This is the maximum delay the board can take after it is half activated. It will reset after this delay.

D) Now connect the circuit to the phone line and switch on its power supply.
E) You can test the board now. For example set the DIP switch to Switch1 ON, Switch2 OFF (15 sec delay) & switch3 ON, switch4 OFF (4 rings to activate half for switching ON). If you want to switch ON relay 1 (connected to RB0 of main circuit) then you have to do the following:

1.    Give 4 rings and put down the receiver
2.    Wait 5 seconds (this 5 seconds wait is required to prevent the board from detecting continue rings)
3.    then within 15 seconds give 1 ring (1 ring for relay1, 2 rings for relay2 and so on) and put down the receiver
4.    then within 5 sec the relay1 will switch ON
To switch off relay1:
1.    Give 5 rings and put down the receiver
2.    Wait 5 seconds (this 5 seconds wait is required to prevent the board from detecting continous rings)
3.    then within 15 seconds give 1 ring (1 ring for relay1, 2 rings for relay2 and so on) and put down the receiver
4.    then within 5 sec the relay1 will switch OFF

Neither hash marks nor the Roman system are very practical for symbolizing large numbers. Obviously, place-weighted systems such as decimal and binary are more efficient for the task. Notice, though, how much shorter decimal notation is over binary notation, for the same number of quantities. What takes five bits in binary notation only takes two digits in decimal notation. This raises an interesting question regarding different numeration systems: how large of a number can be represented with a limited number of cipher positions, or places? With the crude hash-mark system, the number of places IS the largest number that can be represented, since one hash mark "place" is required for every integer step. For place-weighted systems of numeration, however, the answer is found by taking base of the numeration system (10 for decimal, 2 for binary) and raising it to the power of the number of places. For example, 5 digits in a decimal numeration system can represent 100,000 different integer number values, from 0 to 99,999 (10 to the 5th power = 100,000). 8 bits in a binary numeration system can represent 256 different integer number values, from 0 to 11111111 (binary), or 0 to 255 (decimal), because 2 to the 8th power equals 256. With each additional place position to the number field, the capacity for representing numbers increases by a factor of the base (10 for decimal, 2 for binary).

An interesting footnote for this topic is the one of the first electronic digital computers, the Eniac. The designers of the Eniac chose to represent numbers in decimal form, digitally, using a series of circuits called "ring counters" instead of just going with the binary numeration system, in an effort to minimize the number of circuits required to represent and calculate very large numbers. This approach turned out to be counter-productive, and virtually all digital computers since then have been purely binary in design. To convert a number in binary numeration to its equivalent in decimal form, all you have to do is calculate the sum of all the products of bits with their respective place-weight constants. To illustrate:

Convert 110011012  to decimal form:
bits =         1  1  0  0  1  1  0  1             
.              -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -
weight =       1  6  3  1  8  4  2  1
(in decimal    2  4  2  6
notation)      8    

The bit on the far right side is called the Least Significant Bit (LSB), because it stands in the place of the lowest weight (the one's place). The bit on the far left side is called the Most Significant Bit (MSB), because it stands in the place of the highest weight (the one hundred twenty-eight's place). Remember, a bit value of "1" means that the respective place weight gets added to the total value, and a bit value of "0" means that the respective place weight does not get added to the total value. With the above example, we have:

12810  + 6410  + 810  + 410  + 110  = 20510

If we encounter a binary number with a dot (.), called a "binary point" instead of a decimal point, we follow the same procedure, realizing that each place weight to the right of the point is one-half the value of the one to the left of it (just as each place weight to the right of a decimal point is one-tenth the weight of the one to the left of it). For example:

Convert 101.0112  to decimal form:
.
bits =         1  0  1  .  0  1  1               
.              -  -  -  -  -  -  -  
weight =       4  2  1     1  1  1   
(in decimal                /  /  /
notation)                  2  4  8

410  + 110  + 0.2510  + 0.12510  = 5.37510

Basic mathematical model of magnetic levitation
In terms of the design, chosen part of the magnetic levitation model was simulated. We used the software for multidisciplinary system simulation – Dynast [9]. In the Fig. 6, a basic simulation model is shown. One of the significant parts of the model is the feedback circuit. It Decreasing / increasing of the duty cycle of the PWM
Approaching / taking away of the levitating object Decreasing / increasing of the output voltage of the Hall Effect sensor The place stabilization of the levitating object
The variation of the attraction force of the electromagnet means we simulated the output signal of the amplifier with the adjustable gain. According to the Fig. 6, there is a derivation block which is realized by passive components – resistors and capacitors. These components influence stability of the model. On this account, we have optimized the derivation block according to the results of the simulation. After the realization of the electromagnetic levitation device, we have compared real levels of the chosen parameters of the constructed device with the simulation model. The results of the simulation approximatelly correspondence with the real device.
