Abstract(s)
In electrical engineering, sensing natural
phenomena requires the use of transducers, such as the sensors
named Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDTs). They
are traditionally interfaced with computer devices through signal
conditioning circuits to measure linear displacements with good
linearity, sensitivity and precision. Their adoption in many
industrial applications requires from engineering schools a
particular attention to create the best conditions to teach and learn
them, in particular by providing infrastructures to enable students
the conduction of experimental activities. To overcome some of the
difficulties faced by engineering schools (low budget, curricula
time constraints, lack of infrastructures, among others), this paper
presents a remotely accessible infrastructure comprising a
customizable platform that enables the conduction of real LVDT
experiments. Since the infrastructure is currently a prototype
solution, some improvements are suggested, in particular the
possibility of using some of the issues described in the IEEE1451.0
Std. that was originally published to design and interface smart
transducers.
