The output is an analog signal proportional to the deflection of the link. The system is designed to mount on a Quanser rotary servo plant resulting in a horizontally rotating flexible link to perform flexible link control experiments.
1.1 Modular Options Quanser values itself for the modularity of its experiments. The SRV02 rotary plant module serves as the base component for the rotary family of experiments. This modular philosophy facilitates the change from one experimental setup to another with relative ease of work and a valuable savings in cost.
System Nomenclature and Components Figure 1 & Figure 2 below depict the FLEXGAGE module. The standard FLEXGAGE is equipped with a strain gage sensor resulting in an analog signal proportional to the deflection of the tip. Refer to the following table to associate the components with their corresponding photographs.
System Setup and Assembly The rotary flexible Link module requires minimal assembly. Figure 3 Below shows the components of the FLEXGAGE package you should have received. The FLEXGAGE package includes the module itself, a calibration stand and the sensor wire *Note the FLEXGAGE is already pre-calibrated to the correct settings.
3.1 Typical Connections for the SRV02 – FLEXGAGE Experiment The following table describes the typical setup using the complete Quanser solution. It is assumed that the FLEXGAGE is being used along with an SRV02, UPM and Q8 DAQ board. From...
In the following sections, it is also assumed that the FLEXGAGE is connected as described in the Typical Connections table above. As you can see in Figure 4 above, the FLEXGAGE circuit has 2 adjustable potentiometers. One is for the Offset adjustment and the other is for the Gain adjustment.
