Mechatronics is very interesting subject and also very good option as career option. This subject is initialization to Robotics. In University of Pune, Mechanical Engineering students study this subject in last year or 4th year 1st semester. Syllabus of mechatronics is not needed to be explained. Here I will just make huge list and you will get the scope of the subject.
1. Introduction:
Mechatronics, measurement system, control system, concepts, response of system.
2. Flow and Pressure Measurement:
Rotameter, anemometer, McLeod gauges, pressure measuring devices.
3. Level And Strain Measurement, Length Measurements, Position Sensors:
Strain gauges, types of strain gauges, load cells, RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector), thermocouple, pyrometers, LVDT (Linear Variable Displacement Transducer), optical encoder, RVDT (Rotary Variable Displacement Transducer) etc.
4. System Models and Control System:
Mathematical model of system, electrical system, fluid and thermal system, rotational and translational system, electromechanical system, hydraulic system, open loop, closed loop system, feed back and feed forward control system.
5. System Response and Control Action:
Modeling of dynamic system, dynamic response to 1st order and 2nd order system, proportional, integral, derivative control actions, transmitters, controllers, switches and relays.
6. Analog Signal Processing, Digital Signal Processing and PLC (Programmable Logic Circuits).
That’s All or I should say, Is that all?
Thanks for Reading.
