Brushless DC Motors
An electric motor is an energy conversion device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Therefore, the input to an electric motor is electricity, while the output of the electric motor is mechanical energy in the form of rotation of the shaft. Based on the type of electrical energy that motor requires to operate, the electric motors are classified into two types, i.e. AC Motor and DC Motor. An AC Motor or alternating current motor is one that transforms electrical energy in the form of alternating current into rotational mechanical energy. On the other hand, an electric motor ...
Read MoreWhat is Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)?
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless technology that uses radio waves to identify and track objects automatically. An RFID system consists of a small electronic device containing a microchip and antenna that stores and transmits data to RFID readers without requiring direct contact or line-of-sight scanning. Unlike traditional barcodes or magnetic strips that require physical scanning, RFID tags can be read from a distance using electromagnetic fields. This makes RFID ideal for inventory management, access control, asset tracking, and contactless payment systems. RFID System Components ...
Read MoreWhat are the differences between IIOT and IOT?
Let us understand the concepts of Internet of Things (IOT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) before learning the differences between them. Internet of Things (IOT) It is described as the physical devices like mobiles, PCs, home appliances and many more electronic devices that are embedded with sensors, software and other technologies to transmit data and communicate among devices through the Internet. Examples: Air conditioners, sensors, smart watches, mobile phones, smart home systems, fitness trackers. Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) It is described as using the internet of things in industrial applications and sectors. The ...
Read MoreDTH Sensor Programming
DHT11 and DHT22 sensors are digital sensors that can measure temperature and humidity. The DHT22 is more expensive but offers better accuracy and wider temperature ranges compared to DHT11. These sensors communicate with microcontrollers like ESP32 using a single−wire digital protocol. Syntax #include "DHT.h" #define DHT_PIN pin_number #define DHT_TYPE DHT11 // or DHT22 DHT sensor_object(DHT_PIN, DHT_TYPE); DHT11 Specifications Parameter DHT11 DHT22 Temperature Range 0°C to 50°C −40°C to 80°C Humidity Range 20% to 80% 0% to 100% Temperature Accuracy ±2°C ±0.5°C Humidity Accuracy ...
Read MoreThe Adafruit.io
Adafruit.io is a cloud-based IoT platform that enables real-time data visualization and device control through web dashboards. It provides free service with an intuitive interface for connecting IoT devices via WiFi, using authentication keys and feeds to manage data flow between devices and dashboards. In this article, we demonstrate how to connect an ESP32 microcontroller with a BMP180 sensor to an Adafruit.io dashboard for monitoring environmental data and controlling an LED remotely. Required Components ESP32 development board BMP180 sensor (temperature, pressure, altitude) Blue LED Breadboard and jumper wires Adafruit.io account Circuit Connections Connect ...
Read MoreThe First IOT Program
To start learning IoT, first, it is important to learn how to make circuits using a breadboard and a microcontroller. Then it is important to control that circuit using a program. There are some simulators available to make the beginner of IoT learn both these concepts without even having the IoT devices available. However, to get real results, using the circuit components and making the actual circuit is important. In this article, using two different examples, the way to start IoT programming is given. In example 1, the Wokwi simulator is used and in example 2, the actual circuit using ...
Read MoreDifference between Optical fibre and Coaxial cable
Optical fibre and coaxial cable are both types of guided media used to transmit data over a network. Optical fibre is made of plastic and glass and transmits signals as light pulses, whereas coaxial cable is made of plastic and copper wires and transmits signals as electrical signals. Optical Fibre Optical fibre uses thin strands of glass or plastic to carry data as pulses of light. It offers extremely high speeds, very low signal loss over long distances, and is immune to electromagnetic interference. However, it is more expensive and complex to install. Coaxial Cable Coaxial ...
Read MoreEarth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) - How It Works
Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) is a type of circuit breaker used in electrical circuits for providing protection against earth leakage fault. In other words, an ELCB is a protection device used to protect people from getting electric shocks in case of an earth leakage fault. The primary function of an ELCB is to detect and interrupt an electric current that leaks to the ground, which is basically the condition of earth fault. Read this article to understand the basics, working principle, types, advantages, disadvantages, and applications of Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers. What is an ELCB? Earth Leakage Circuit ...
Read MoreMotor Protection Circuit Breaker (MPCB) - How It Works
Motor Protection Circuit Breaker (MPCB) is a type of circuit breaker used for providing protection to electric motors. MPCBs are specially designed for protecting electric motors only. Read this article to learn the functions, working, and applications of motor protection circuit breaker (MPCB). What is an MPCB? Motor Protection Circuit Breaker is a specially designed circuit breaker used for protecting electric motors from faults or abnormal conditions. In any industry, electric motors are very important and significantly expensive devices. Therefore, they have to be protected from faults and abnormal conditions that occur in power system. For this purpose, MPCBs ...
Read MoreWhat is a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)?
A VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) is a power electronic device used for controlling the operation of electric motors, especially induction motors. It is a type of motor drive whose working principle is based on the variation of supply voltage and frequency. It is also known by many other names such as variable speed drive, AC drive, adjustable frequency drive, adjustable speed drive, micro-drive, etc. VFD is primarily used for controlling the speed of an induction motor by varying the frequency and voltage of the input supply. In this article, we will discuss the basics, working, advantages, disadvantages, and applications of ...
