Underwater Vehicle RPM Measurement System Using Programmable System on Chip (PSoC)

Yenni Venkateswara Rao, M Srinivasa Rao

Abstract :

PSoC family consists of many Mixed Signal Array with On Chip Controller devices. PSoC devices include configurable blocks of analog and digital logic, as well as programmable interconnects. Using RPM, the speed of the vehicle is determined. RPM measurement is important when controlling or monitoring the speed of motors, conveyors, turbines, etc. It uses digital counters with interrupt service routines to accurately measure the RPM of a rotating wheel. Optical sensor is being used to sense the RPM signal and a PSoC device is used to process the sensed signal to count the RPM. The number of pulses from the optical sensor is measured using counters of PSoC and display the RPM value on the serial port of PC or LCD. This provides a costeffective solution in industries and R&D. Summary: Finally, this method has been proposed to use the Programmable System On chip which a single PSOC device replaces a wide variety of discrete components and dramatically reducing board size, chip count, and cost while improving manufacturability. These simple in–expensive designs accurately measure the RPM of a rotating wheel, which requires only a 5–volt power supply. Pulse counting is an essential application requirement in industry and R&D laboratories. This provides a cost–effective solution in industries and R&D.
