3 DC Motor Permanent Magnet,
DC Motor
24V 1

11. Battery charging time formula
Charging time of battery = Battery Ah / Charging Current
T = Ah / A
In our Project we used 40Ah Lead-Acid battery therefore
charging current should be 10% of Ah rating of a battery.
i.e.
Charging current = 40Ah×(10/100)
= 4A
Charging time = 40Ah/4A
= 10hrs
Battery Charging Calculations

12. Battery Charging Calculations
Practically, this is noted that 40%of losses (in case of battery
charging)
Then,
40 × (40/100) = 16…….(40Ah × 40% of losses)
Therefore,
40 + 16 = 56 Ah (40 Ah + Losses)
Now charging time of battery = Ah/Charging Current
56/4 = 14hrs

28. Current Measurement
 ACS 712
 Measured Load Current

29. Current Calculation Example
Let the current at the output of ACS712 is 0.5
The sensitivity of ACS712 is 100mv =0.1 V
0.5*0.1 = 0.05V
Value1 / Value2 = Value3 / Value4
5/0.05 = 1024/ Value4
Value4 = 10.24
Value4 = 512+10
= 523 is the value at current_pin
current_read=analogRead(current_pin); //=523
current_voltage=(5*current_read)/1024; // (5*523)/1024
//=2.553
current=(2.5-current_voltage)/0.1000; // (2.5 -2.553) / 0.1
// = 0.5013

30. Program
current_read=analogRead(current_pin);
current_voltage=(5*current_read)/1024;
current=(2.5-current_voltage)/0.1000;
Serial.println(current);

31. Temperature Measurement

lm35voltage=(5*lm35value)/1024;
temp=lm35voltage/0.01;
Serial.print(temp);

33. Temperature Calculation Example
Let the temperature is 27 Degree Centigrade
The sensitivity of LM35 is 10mv =0.01 V
27*0.01 = 0.27V
Value1 / Value2 = Value3 / Value4
5/0.27 = 1024/ Value4
Value4 = 56
lm35value=analogRead(lm35pin); // = 56
lm35voltage=(5*lm35value)/1024; // (56*5)/1024
// = 0.2734
temp=lm35voltage/0.01; // = 0.2734 /0.01
// = 27.37 = 27

43. What is LabVIEW?
 LabVIEW=Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation
Engineering Workbench
 Leader in instrument control, hardware interfaces,
data analysis, user-interface, measurement, and
automation

44. What is LabVIEW?
 LabVIEW programs are called VIs - Virutal
Instruments
 They include the Front Panel and the Block
Diagram
 Front Panel is like a driver’s cockpit: controls
inputs, shows outputs, and connects to the engine
- User Interface
 Block Diagram is like the engine of a car: allows
it to function and connects everything together -
Behind the Scenes

45. Front Panel and Block Diagram
Front Panel Block Diagram
Contains graphical source codeBuilt with controls (inputs) and
indicators (outputs)

47. VISA Configure Serial Port: VI
o VISA resource name specifies
the resource to be opened.
o baud rate is the rate of
transmission. The default is 9600.
o data bits is the number of bits in
the incoming data. The default
value is 8.
o VISA resource name out is a
copy of the VISA resource name
that VISA functions return.
o error out contains error
information. This output provides
standard error out functionality.

48. VISA Set I/O Buffer Size Function
o VISA resource name specifies the resource to be opened.
o mask designates which buffer size to set.
16 I/O Receive Buffer
32 I/O Transmit Buffer
48 I/O Receive and Transmit Buffer
o size designates the size of the I/O buffer in bytes.
o error in describes error conditions that occur before this node
runs.

50. VISA Clear Function
 VISA resource name specifies the resource to be
opened.
 error in describes error conditions that occur before
this node runs.
 VISA resource name out is a copy of the VISA
resource name that VISA functions return.
 error out contains error information.

51. Stacked Sequence Structure
 The Stacked Sequence structure, shown as follows, stacks each
frame so you see only one frame at a time and executes frame 0,
then frame 1, and so on until the last frame executes.
 Consists of one or more sub diagrams, or frames, that execute
sequentially.
 Use the Stacked Sequence structure to ensure a sub diagram
executes before or after another sub diagram.

52. While Loop
 Repeats the sub diagram inside it until the
conditional terminal.
 Right-click the conditional terminal and
select Stop if True or Continue if True
from the shortcut menu.
 The While Loop always executes at least
once

53. Case Structure
 A case structure is a LabVIEW primitive that
dynamically selects which parts of code should
execute.
 Has one or more sub diagrams, or cases, exactly one of
which executes when the structure executes.

54. VISA Read Function
 Reads the specified number of bytes from the device or
interface specified by VISA resource name and
returns the data in read buffer.
 byte count is the number of bytes to be read.
 read buffer contains the data read from the device.
 return count contains the number of bytes actually
read.

55. Match Regular Expression Function
 input string specifies the input string the function searches.
This string cannot contain null characters.
 regular expression specifies the pattern you want to search
for in input string. If the function does not find a match,
whole match and after match contain empty strings,
before match contains the entire input string, offset past
match returns –1, and all submatches outputs return empty
strings.
 whole match contains all the characters that match the
expression entered in regular expression.

56. Fract/Exp String To Number Function
 String can be a string, a cluster of strings, an array of
strings, or an array of clusters of strings.
 Number can be a number, a cluster, an array of
numbers, or an array of clusters, depending on the
structure of string.

59. Advantages
 Good for building piecewise: using small amounts of
code in a larger code
 Visually programming is easier to learn
 Better than MATLAB for controlling the interfaces
between hardware
 Easy to create the user-interface at the same time
