Week -2
- AIM 1 :-
To create a Simulink model of Doorbell using solenoid block with the following details:
In the above arrangement, when the switch is closed the electromagnet receives electrical power from the battery and pulls the metal arm to hit the bell producing sound.
Create a situation where the switch is closed for 2 seconds and then released. Observe the physical movement of the plunger.
Assume remaining parameters.
- METHODOLOGY :-
As shown in the figure; components used are a battery, a switch, a pulse generator, a solenoid, a ideal Translational Motion Sensor , a scope , a Solver Configuration, a Mechanical Translational Reference and a Electrical Translational Reference.
At very first there si a battery and after that there is a swith to operate the circuit then to generate pulse as output the switch is connected to a pulse generator but, as the circuit is in Simulink, a converter is to be used which is called as 'Simulink to PS convertor'. Then is a solenoid block as it is a elecrical so Electrical Translational Reference is used as every circuit needs to be grounded , after solenoid there is a ideal Translational Motion Sensor and to see the output a scope is added at the last but, as solenoid is in simscape , so as to convert it to simulik to attach a scope a converter called 'PS to Simulink' is used. The output is attached in result.
- RESULTS :-
As a result we get a proper pulse showing ON and OFF complete cycle the configuration used is Amplitude is 1, Period is 4 pulse width is 50, Phase delay is 2 and simple time is 1. The output of scope is attached;

- AIM 2 :-
To use a thermistor to sense the temperature of a heater & turn on or turn off the fan as per the below conditions:
Temperature source: 20 °C from 0 to 10 seconds, 27 °C from 10 to 30 seconds, 23 °C from 30 to 50 seconds
Fan conditions: ON if the temperature above 25 °C, OFF otherwise.
- METHODOLOGY :-
In the above circuit, an NTC thermistor from the following library of Simulink has been used: Simscape / Foundation Library / Electrical /Electrical Elements.
- RESULTS :-
As a result we get 1 in scope 2 which indicates as circuit is ON.
