Abstract
A simple, low cost intelligent pressure measuring technique has been proposed in this paper. In industrial applications, bellows is used as a pressure sensor with a local indication only. Hence, the deflection of bellow due to applied pressure must be converted into an efficient electrical read out for measurement and control in industry. In this study, the design of intelligent pressure transmitter with wireless read out has been described using bellow as a primary sensing element, a Hall effect sensor as sensing element and ATmega328 microcontrol unit for improving the linearity characteristics and wireless transmission. The voltage-pressure relation of the Hall effect based pressure transducer exhibits a considerable nonlinearity and limits the measurement to local operations. To estimate and compensate the nonlinearity of the pressure transmitter, we propose an artificial neural network (ANN). The intelligence of ANN modelling is included into an embedded plug-in-module (PIM). The functionality of the transmitter has been tested experimentally. The proposed intelligent transducer has exhibited considerably high sensitivity of about 1.8694 mV/psi over the pressure range of 0-40 psi. The performance of the proposed transmitter is verified with recently reported techniques. © 2006-2018 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN).
