Week 6 (FYP 1)

Activity: 
Make a research on the new sensor which is current sensor

Objective:
  • To understand more detail about how current sensor work 
  • To figure out that current sensor is suitable to use in this project
Content: 
  • make some research  about the connection between current sensor and any loads
  • make a research to know the circuit diagram and Arduino coding to programmed the sensor
Result:
  • The information that i get from the research, the current sensor ACS712 can use at any load DC or AC.  The input  voltage is +5V for typical applications
ACS712 Current Sensor

  • Sensor Specifications:
    • Measures both AC and DC current
    • Provides isolation from the load
    • Easy to integrate with MCU, since it outputs analog voltage
  • Circuit Diagram for the sensor and load

Conclusion:
Based on the information, the current sensor is quite easy to install in the stamping machine. Nevertheless, I need to discuss with Sir Shaiful whether he agrees or he has other additional ideas on this project.
