Title: Mechatronics
Description: Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of Mechanical engineering, Electronic engineering, Computer engineering, Control engineering, and Systems Design engineering in order to design, and manufacture useful products. The term mechatronics is defined as a multidisciplinary engineering system design, that is to say it rejects splitting engineering into separate disciplines.

Mechatronics is defined as it is the interdisciplinary field of engineering deals
with the study of design processes which includes combination of mechanical,
electronics, control & computer engineering
...
In Mechatronics, traditional systems of mechanical engineering are
fused together with components from computer science, mathematics and electrical
engineering
...

Mechatronics provides solutions that are efficient and reliable systems
...
The sensors in these systems sense signals from the
surroundings, react to these signals using appropriate processing to generate
acquired output signals
...
As a result of this, computer
controlled systems have been in increase in almost every field
...
The applications of artificial intelligence
techniques have been put into use in design, production and maintenance
...
It has become a must to use mechanics, electrics and

...
This
made Mechatronics emerge as a new discipline
...

As mentioned above, mechatronics is an integration of electronics, computer
science and mechanical engineering
...
As the situation became very competitive it was necessary to segregate
the electronics and mechanical branches

>> Signal Conditioner:
A signal conditioner receives signal from the sensor and manipulates it into a
suitable condition for display
...

Example:
Temperature measurement

–Single Conditioner function (Amplifier)

Input

– Small E
...
F value (From sensor)

Output

– Big E
...
F Value (Amplified)
...
The energy
supplied to an actuator might be electrical or mechanical (pneumatic, hydraulic, etc
...

>> Control Unit :
When the control receives the signal, they perform logical and arithmetic
operations with a processor and software
...

>> Display System:
A display system displays the data (output) from the signal conditioner by analog
or digital
...

Example:
Display

– L
...
D

Input

– Conditioned Signal (from signal conditioner)

Output

– Value of the quantity (Temperature)
