Introduction to Mechatronics
Learning outcome

At the end of the chapter, student should


be able to:

• Demonstrate an understanding of
mechatronics
Mechatronics
What is mechatronics?

• The design of computer-controlled electromechanical


systems.

• A 'modern mechanical engineering design' in the sense


that the design of the mechanical system must be
performed together with that of the electrical/electronic
and computer control aspects that will comprise the
complete system.

Mechatronics
What is mechatronics?

• The synergistic combination of precision mechanical


engineering, electronic control and systems thinking in
the design of products and manufacturing processes.

• It relates to the design of systems, devices and products


aimed at achieving an optimal balance between basic
mechanical structure and its overall control.

Mechatronics

System
• Consists of a physical system with input and output
• Concentrate on relationship between input and
output
Mechatronics
Measurement System
• Made of three elements:

–Sensor: Provide signal related to quantity being measured


–Signal conditioner: Manipulate signals for further process
–Display: Displaying output signals
Mechatronics

Control System
• Used to control output signals

• Feedback control: signals fed back from output


Mechatronics

Examples of Feedback Control System


Mechatronics

Open and closed loop system


• An open loop system is a control system without
feedback loop
Mechatronics

Open and closed loop system


• A closed loop system is an open loop system with
feedback loop.
Mechatronics

Open and closed loop system


• Open loop system is simple and low cost with good
reliability but often inaccurate.
• Closed loop system is relatively accurate but it has
complex system which is costly.
Mechatronics
Basic elements of a closed loop system

• Comparison elements
Error signal = reference value - measured value

• Control elements
– Decide action to take based on error signal
