There is a requirement to design a system to sense the presence of glass bottles leaving an automatic washer on a production line conveyor belt. The production line is for food products and the environment is clean and maintained at a temperature of 15 degree C. The system must meet the following criteria: The switching distance will lie between 5 and 20 mm. The output from the sensor is to be of binary form, i.e. logical 1 when the part is present and logical 0 when no part is present. It is necessary to ensure that a change of sensor state occurs closer to the sensor when a bottle approaches than when it moves away. Bottles will pass the sensor at the rate of 10 every second. There is no requirement for protection from contact with objects but it must be proof against water drips. Recommend a suitable sensor and justify your recommendation. Sketch a diagram that shows the functional blocks within the sensor and explain each function.

It is a device which 1. Has the ability to store charge which neither a resistor nor an inductor can do; 2. opposes any change of voltage in the circuit in which it is connected; 3. Blocks the passage of direct current through it. CAPACITOR The electronic component (mostly a coil) which opposes the change of current in circuit is called an inductor. The ability of coil or inductor due to which it opposes the change of current flowing through it is known as its inductance. The inductance of an inductor may also be defined as the ability of an inductor to produce induced voltage when the current varies through it. The unit of inductance is Henry which is named after Joseph Henry. INDUCTOR Diodes allow electricity to flow in only one direction. The arrow of the circuit symbol shows the direction in which the current can flow. Diodes are the electrical version of a valve and early diodes were actually called valves. The construction and the fundamental working of the power diode and signal diode are same but the power handling capacity of the power diode is higher than the signal diodes POWER DIODE Sensors IR Sensors work by using a specific light sensor to detect a select light wavelength in the Infra- Red (IR) spectrum. By using an LED which produces light at the same wavelength as what the sensor is looking for, you can look at the intensity of the received light. When an object is close to the sensor, the light from the LED bounces off the object and into the light sensor. This results in a large jump in the intensity, which can be detected using a threshold DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR DC MOTOR We have used the dc motors to drive conveyer belt and to.
