Thursday, July 11, 2024 Mahdi Hassanpour Microprocessor • CPU is stand-alone, RAM, ROM, I/O, timer are separate • designer can decide on the amount of ROM, RAM and I/O ports. • expansive • versatility • general-purpose Microcontroller • CPU, RAM, ROM, I/O and timer are all on a single chip • fix amount of on-chip ROM, RAM, I/O ports • for applications in which cost, power and space are critical • single-purpose Microprocessor vs. Microcontroller

- 10. Sensors and Actuators • Sensor A device that converts an environmental condition into an electrical signal. • Actuator A device that converts a control signal (usually electrical) into mechanical action (motion). (Taken together, sensors, actuators, controllers, and power supply form the basic elements of a control system.)
- 12. The Following Special Formulation is Offered Mechatronics studies synergistic fusion of precise • mechatronical units, • electronic, • electro technical and computer components for the purpose of designing and manufacturing qualitatively new • modules, • systems, • machines and complexes of machines with intellectual control of their functional movements
- 13. Comments to the Definition • Mechatronics studies special conceptual approach to construction of machines. • The definition emphasizes synergetic character of components’ integration in mechatronic objects. • Integrated mechatronic components are always chosen at the designing stage. • Methods of parallel designing serve as methodological basis for Mechatronic Systems (MS) development. • The main objects that mechatronics studies are mechatronic modules. • MS are intended to perform a set movement. • In MS methods of advanced intelligent control are used to secure high quality in performing precise movements.
- 14. Principles of Construction MS Generalized Scheme of Machine with Computer Control of Movement The structure of a traditional machine e.g.: cutting forces for machining processes, contact forces and moments of forces at assembly, reactive force of the liquid jet at hydraulic cutting determ non-determ

- 16. Computer Control Device Basic Functions • Control of mechanical movement process on-line with current sensor data analysis. • Arrangements to control MS functional movements. • Interaction with operator via human-machine interface off-line and on-line interaction at the moment of MS movement. • Data exchange between peripheral devices, sensors and other devices of the system.
- 17. The Core of Mechatronic Approach At the stage of designing one interface, as a separate device, is excluded out of a traditional structure, but physical essence of transformation carried out by this module is kept. in other words It consists in integrating of components probably of different physical nature into a uniform functional module.
- 18. Basic Advantages in Comparison with Traditional Means of Automation • rather low cost; • ability to perform complicated and precise movements (of high quality); • high reliability, durability and noise immunity; • constructive compactness of modules; • improved overall dimension and dynamic characteristics of machines; • opportunity to rebuild functional modules to sophisticated systems and complexes.
- 19. Modern Trends of MS Development • Office equipment; • Computer facilities; • Photo and video equipment; • Machine-tool construction and equipment for automation of technological processes; • Robotics;
- 20. Modern Trends of MS Development • Aviation, space and military techniques; • Motor car constructor;
- 21. Modern Trends of MS Development • Micro machines; • Control and measuring devices and machines; • Simulators for training of pilots and operators; • Show-industry; • Non-conventional vehicles.
- 22. Requirements of the World Market in the Considered Area • Standard ISO 9000; • Necessity for active introduction of forms and methods of international engineering and putting new technologies into practice; • Increasing role of small and average industrial enterprises in economy owing to their ability to quick and flexible reaction to changing requirements of the market; • Intellectualization of mechanical movement control systems and technological functions of modern machines.
- 23. Fundamental Problems • Structural integration of mechanical, electronic and information departments into a uniform creative staff; • Education and training of engineers specialized in mechatronics and managers able to organize integration and supervise work of strictly specialized experts with different qualifications; • Integration of information technologies from various scientific and technical fields into a uniform toolkit to provide computer support of mechatronic problems; • Standardization and unification of all used elements and processes at designing and manufacturing MS.

- 27. Career Paths in Mechatronics • mechatronics is seen as a prime career path for mechanical engineers of the future; • mechanical engineers with a mechatronics background will have a better chance of becoming managers; • classically trained mechanical engineers will run the risk of being left out of the interesting work.
