Design and develop an ANGULAR DISPLACEMENT

measurement using an appropriate SENSOR

The aim of this assessment is to design an angular displacement measurement system. The

motivation for doing this is the fact that displacement measurement has become an integral part of

many control system especially in the Process Industries.

Here the angular displacement must be displayed in degrees. The LabVIEW Controller should be

used for handling all the required computations. A suitable sensor is used for sensing the angular

displacements. The system will measure the displacement; and it displays it. The measured

displacement is compared with the set point value stored by the user and if the measured value goes

beyond the Preset value then LED will turn on. Use a relay to switch on the LED.

Refer to the following GUIDELINES required for designing the given system:

1. The assignment is to be developed with the correct chosen sensor which upon

measurement will allow LabVIEW for data storage.

2.

The measured value should be displayed in LabVIEW.

3. Turn on the LED via an actuator when the measured value exceeds the set point

value.

NOTE:

Research is to be done on SUSTAINABILTY and the best chosen components for the

development of the angular displacement system.
