The figures in the margin indicate full marks.
Attempt question no. 1 and any five from the rest.
Candidates have to answer all parts of
a particular question at one place only.
1. Attempt any two : 5x2=10
@ Design a suitable temperature sensor with the help of
RTD having resistance 100 ohm at 25 deg. C, for
measurement of process temperature in the range of
0 — 400 deg. C. The sensor output should be in the
form 0—5 V and should have minimum environmental
temperature effect. Draw the sensor scheme along with
suitable circuit diagram.
Gi) Design a force sensor with a range of 0 — 1000 kg/cm’,
with the help of strain gauges having gauge factor of
2 and nominal resistance of 120 ohm. For the sensor a
metallic body with modules of elasticity 1.8 kg/cm? and
a voltmeter are available. The sensor output should be
in the form 0 — 5 V and should have highest sensitivity.
Draw the sensor scheme along with suitable circuit
diagram.

i) How the thickness of insulating materials can be current persist for more than 3 seconds, the motor
measured ? Explain the working principle with suitable should be in trip condition until and unless a manual
diagram and expression for input output characteristics. reset switch (push button) is pressed.
@v) Which is the most preferable sensor for flow
measurement of flammable liquid flow with very high flow
rate? Justify your answer also give brief description along
with a suitable diagram and working principle.
(b) Design a PLC based automatic pressure control system
of a reciprocating compressors. The criteria for the
controller actions are as follows :
@ Start the compressor when the pressure is less than
2 kg/em?, the compressor will be on until and
unless pressure reaches to 5 kg/cm’.
2. (a) What are the main advantages of Hall effect type
sensors? Explain the working principle of close loop
type Hall Effect current sensor and also describe its
advantages and disadvantages over open loop linear (i) When compressor pressure reaches above 5 kg/
Hall current sensor. cm? turn off the compressor until and unless the
pressure fall below 2 kg/cm’.
(b) Determine the volume flow rate of water through a
pipe of 150mm diameter when measured by (i) an Gil) Go to step @)
orifice plate of size 75 mm diameter (ii) venture tube
of throat size 75 mm diameter. The differential
pressure recorded is 250 pa (i.e. N/m’). Assume the start/stop has no function PLC will operate the
density of water is 1000 kg/m, Where orifice is pump.
having Cd value of 0.6 and for venture it is 0.99.
6+6=12 In Manual mode PLC will not operate the compressor;
the compressor will be on when Start/Stop goes to on
position and vice versa.
(iv) There should be an auto/manual (on/off) switch
along with Start/Stop (on/off) switch. In auto mode
3. (a) What is noise and what are the different types of
noises ? Define Signal to Noise ratio, noise factor and
noise figure. Draw the Ladder diagram and PLC interfacing
diagram. 6+6=12

instrument is determined using regression analysis of 5. (a) Discuss the working principle of Pirani gauge for
measurement data? 6+6=12 measurement of low pressure with the help of suitable
diagrams.
4. (a) Define input and output response time of a PLC?
Design a PLC based over current protection system
for a motor, so that the motor trips only when an over PT.O.
