在将信号从用户传输到计算机系统时,反之亦然,电信号的频率范围,电压放大或电压水平可能会发生变化。为了满足有关电信号的级别和此类属性,需要进行不同的调节。
系统中主要有两个调节单元:
1.输入调节单元:
输入调节单元是一种调节器,用于改变来自传感器/环境并进入系统输入接口单元的电信号的特性。可能会有问题,例如输入电信号的电压在毫伏范围内,而系统仅接受伏特范围。在这种情况下,使用输入调节单元。
2.输出调节单元:
输出调节单元是一种调节,它会改变来自系统并进入环境/执行器的电信号的特性。可能存在诸如输出电信号的频率范围不符合执行器比例之类的问题。在这种情况下,使用输出调节单元。
输入和输出调节单元之间的差异:
INPUT CONDITIONING UNIT | OUTPUT CONDITIONING UNIT |
---|---|
It is used for conversion of characteristics of incoming signals. | It is used for conversion of characteristics of outgoing signals. |
It takes input from sensor. | It takes input from output interface unit. |
It gives output to the input interface unit. | It gives output to the actuator. |
It is a mediator between sensor and input interface so that signals can be scaled. | It is a also mediator between output interface and actuator so that signals can be scaled. |
It converts low range frequency signals to high range frequency signals. | It converts high range frequency signals to low range frequency signals. |
Example: Conversion of signals from photo-voltaic cell from mV to V. | Example: Conversion of frequency of signals to user convenience. |
