Data Acquisition System

The document discusses data acquisition systems and fuzzy logic systems. Data acquisition systems are used to convert, store, transmit, and process data. They can be analog or digital. Analog systems use transducers, signal conditioners, displays, and recorders, while digital systems add an analog-to-digital converter. Fuzzy logic systems use degrees of truth rather than binary true/false, allowing for answers between categories like possibly or certainly. Fuzzy logic is useful for engineering problems with uncertainty and provides effective machine control with simple structure.

Data Acquisition System

The system, used for data acquisition are known as data acquisition
systems. These data acquisition systems will perform the tasks such as
conversion of data, storage of data, transmission of data and processing
of data.
Types of data acquisition system :
 Analog data acquisition system
 Digital data acquisition system

1. Analog data acquisition system:


The data acquisition systems, which can be operated with analog signals are known
as analog data acquisition systems. Following are the blocks of analog data acquisition
systems.

 Transducer − It converts physical quantities into electrical signals.


 Signal conditioner − It performs the functions like amplification and selection
of desired portion of the signal.
 Display device − It displays the input signals for monitoring purpose.
 Graphic recording instruments − These can be used to make the record of
input data permanently.
 Magnetic tape instrumentation − It is used for acquiring,

2. Digital data acquisition system :


The data acquisition systems, which can be operated with digital signals are known as digital
data acquisition systems. So, they use digital components for storing or displaying the
information.
Mainly, the following operations take place in digital data acquisition.

 Acquisition of analog signals


 Conversion of analog signals into digital signals or digital data
 Processing of digital signals or digital data
Following are the blocks of Digital data acquisition systems.
 Transducer − It converts physical quantities into electrical signals.
 Signal conditioner − It performs the functions like amplification and selection of
desired portion of the signal.
 Multiplexer − connects one of the multiple inputs to output. So, it acts as parallel
to serial converter.
 Analog to Digital Converter − It converts the analog input into its equivalent
digital output.
 Display device − It displays the data in digital format.
 Digital Recorder − It is used to record the data in digital format.

Fuzzy Logic System :

Fuzzy logic is a computing technique that is based on the degree of


truth. A fuzzy logic system uses the input’s degree of truth
and linguistic variables to produce a certain output. The state of this
input determines the nature of the output. This technique is different
from boolean logic, which uses only two categories (true or false).
fuzzy logic systems use degrees of possibilities.
For example :
Suppose we have a question that we need to answer.
In boolean logic, the answer would be either yes or no. In fuzzy
logic, the answer may be between these two categories. Some of the
probable answers in this logic may include possibly yes, possibly no,
or certainly no.

Why fuzzy logic is used ?

 It solves the problem of uncertainty in the engineering


field.
 When accurate reasoning is not available, it provides an
accurate level of reasoning.
 Fuzzy logic has a simple structure that is easy to
understand.
 It is an effective way of controlling machines.
 It provides solutions to various industrial problems
(especially decision making).
 It requires little data to be executed.

Linguistic variable : variable whose values are words or sentences in a


natural or artificial language
