1.Simulink model for doorbell using solenoid:

Aim:

To create a Simulink model of a doorbell which is controlled by solenoid.

Simulink model:

Components of the circuit:

  1. Pulse generator (Input signal)
  2. Battery
  3. Logic controlled switch
  4. Solenoid
  5. Ideal translational motion sensor

Working of Doorbell circuit:

  1. The input switch of the doorbell is simulated by a pulse generator with a period of 4 seconds with 50% duty cycle. So, it will generate the ON time of 2 seconds.
  2. This will drive the logic-controlled switch PS to operate the solenoid in the duty of 2 sec ON 2 sec OFF.
  3. The operation of the solenoid is verified by the translational sensor. The scope waveform shows the solenoid is ON for 2 sec and off for 2 sec.

Solenoid position:

2.Simulation model of thermistor-controlled cooling fan:

Aim:

Make a Simulink model to control the cooling fan. Fan should be ON when temperature of the source exceeds 25 ˚C.

Temperature source dutyè0 to 10 sec 20 ˚C, 10 to 30 sec 27 ˚C, 30 to 50 sec 23 ˚C.

Simulink Circuit:

Critical components of the circuit:

  1. Signal builder (Thermal input)
  2. Ideal temperature source
  3. Thermistor (NTC)
  4. Sensing resistor
  5. Battery
  6. Voltage sensor
  7. Logic controlled switch
  8. Controlled voltage source
  9. DC motor (As fan)
  10. Ideal rotational motion sensor

Working of the circuit:

  1. The temperature of the source is controlled by the input given by signal builder. Temperature of the source is set as per the requirement 0 to 10 sec 20 ˚C, 10 to 30 sec 27 ˚C, 30 to 50 sec 23 ˚
  2. Thermistor chosen for the model is NTC and its reference temperature is 25˚ sensing resistor value is set as 1KᲲ. Battery voltage is set as 110VDC.
  3. The voltage drop across the sensing resistor is captured and converted into logic level 0 and 1. This logic will control the voltage source of the DC motor.
  4. 1 means On and 0 means OFF. When the temperature is above 25˚C, the motor will turn on and that can be verified by the rotational motion sensor output.

Input signal as Temperature:

Fan ON/OFF status:

Result:

The Simulink model of the doorbell and the thermistor-controlled fan is done and the output waveforms are also attached for the verification.
