New Type

In view of the existing flaws of traditional manual observations, a new type of tailing reservoir safety monitoring and warning system based on ZigBee and LabVIEW was designed. The system chose SoC chip CC2530 as the RF transceiver and designed the low-power wireless sensor networks nodes to collect and process the data of tailing reservoir. It chose ZigBee 2007 as the network communication protocol, and uploaded the data to PC by RS232 serial port. The monitoring and warning interface of PC was completed with LabVIEW. The testing results show that the data transmission of the network is stable and the system is suitable for real-time monitoring and warning of the tungsten tailing reservoir.

Rotating Workpiece

The diameter of the workpiece is measured, while the workpiece is located on the CNC (computer numerical controlled) turning machine, using a new laser instrument and technique. The optical instrument is based on the laser Doppler principle, using an He—Ne laser as a light source. It obtains data by detecting the scattered light from the surface of a rotating workpiece, processing this data with respect to the rotation of the spindle and providing a value representing the workpiece diameter. The basic resolution of the system depends on the wavelength of the laser and geometry of the optics. Higher resolution can be achieved by obtaining the data from the workpiece surface over more than one complete revolution of the spindle. The resolution for one revolution of the spindle is 0.5μm and for ten 0.05μm. The measurement system is also integrated with the CNC turning machine, particularly for autofocusing of the instrument. The instrument is mounted on the tool holder of the CNC turning machine, which is focused by means of a tool offset parameter for non-contact measurement of each different diameter. Autofocusing is carried out using the MI5 machine tool interface unit which is already established for the Renishaw probe system, according to CNC part programming. The performance of the proposed technique and instrument is verified through the experiments.

Optic Communication

This paper deals with data transfer from one computer to another. The serial ports of the computer are used. MAX 232 is used to convert RS 232 logic to TTL logic and then an optical transmitter circuit is used to transmit data via fiber optic cable. The optical transmitter circuit has an LED which is matched with the cable. At the receiver an optical receiver circuit is used which receives data using a photo diode and a MAX 232 again to convert TTL logic to RS 232 for the serial port at the receiving end computer. The desired baud rate can be set. Although the internet can be used, but due to its time consuming nature, one can implement data transfer using wireless medium, though at a relatively high cost. The need, therefore, is felt for fiber optic communication which is cheaper and more suitable for the task. It is cheaper than wireless medium and is prone to lesser loss as compared to wireless medium.
