CODE 56915 ACADEMIC YEAR 2022/2023 CREDITS 6 cfu anno 1 INGEGNERIA MECCANICA - PROGETTAZIONE E PRODUZIONE 9269 (LM-33) - GENOVA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ING-IND/12 LANGUAGE Italian TEACHING LOCATION GENOVA SEMESTER 2° Semester TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB OVERVIEW Measurement systems constitute a key enabling technology for industry, transportation, energy and environment. Their design is thus considered, from the architecture, to their main functions, including data acquisition, processing and sharing through networks. Measurement systems devoted to the monitoring and control of motion - either artificial, as in manufacturing and in robotics, or natural, as in biomechanics and in sea waves - are studied in detail. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Design of measuring systems, including the selection of components and architectures and the development of software for data acquisition, data processing and automatic control. Measurement of motion and forces. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES Comprehension of the fundamental components in a measurement system and capability of identifying their criticalities and strengths, according to a specific application. Development of skills in signal processing, including spectral analysis and signal filtering. Selection of measurement system architectures for specific applications monitoring or automatic-control applications. Programming of data acquisition in the LabView ® environment, for monitoring and control TEACHING METHODS Lectures and laboratory practice, including a training in the use of state-of-the-art data acquisition systems. SYLLABUS/CONTENT The measuring system as a communication system. Conditioning of input signals: power sources, oscillators, instrumentation amplifiers, current transmission, interfacing criteria. Data acquisition boards. Microcomputers in measuring systems: hardware, software, connectivity. Data acquisition: programming (LabView) and management of data acquisition, for process monitoring and for automatic control. Processing of measurement signals: spectrum analysis and digital filtering (outline). Instrumentation networks; remote control of measuring systems. Architectures of digital measuring systems. Design and implementation of a position servo-system and of a remote vibration-monitoring system. Measurement of motion and forces. Case studies. RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY Example of representative references include the following: Bentley, Principles of measurement systems, Prentice-Hall, 2005 G.B. Rossi, Measurement and Probability, Springer, 2014 Additional references will be provided, according to the needs of the students.
