Cut rate Motorbike Alarm

Motorbikes are often a target for thieves. Here is an alarm that’s loud, cheap and simple to build. Arming and disarming the alarm is done with a hidden switch, S1. This tiny circuit does not unduly load the battery, as it draws very little current in the standby condition. To activate the alarm, turn or press the hid-den switch S1 to the ‘on’ position. If anyone attempts to start the motorbike, +12 volts from the ignition switch (connected to ‘B’) causes transistor T1 to conduct and switch on T2. The siren (LS1) then sounds for about 20 seconds, the period being determined by FET T3 wired as a monostable timer. The siren is a high-power ready-made piezo horn of the self-oscillating type.

Another piezoelectric component in the cir-cuit has a different purpose — Bz1 detects attempts to tamper with the vehicle, or move it without starting the engine. The piezo trans-ducer element should be mounted in such a way as to faithfully pick up vibration from the motorbike frame due to tampering.

One set of contacts on relay RE1 is used to effectively disconnect the ignition coil to pre-vent the bike from functioning when some-one tries to steal it. Usually, there is a wire running from the alternator (point A) to the ignition coil (TR1), which has to be routed through the N/C (normally closed) contact of the relay. The hidden switch S1 is preferably a miniature type or its electrical equivalent. To deactivate the alarm, the hidden switch should be flipped to the ‘off’ position to disable the movement sensor and the siren driver/timer circuit when the ignition key is turned… by the lawful owner!

PID instruction in Allen Bradley PLC Closed Loop Control

PID instruction in Allen Bradley PLC [Proportional/Integral/Derivative] Closed Loop Control For Processor SLC 5/02SLC 5/03SLC 5/04SLC 5/05 MicroLogix 1200 and MicroLogix 1500 (A special PID file replaces the old integer file control block.) Description of PID in PLC This output instruction is used to control physical properties such as temperature, pressure, liquid level, or flow rate of process loops. The PID instruction normally controls a closed loop using inputs from an analog input module and providing an output to an analog output module as a response to effectively hold a process variable at a desired set point. The PID equation controls the process by sending an output signal to the actuator. The greater the error between the setpoint and the process variable input, the greater the output signal, and vice versa. An additional value (feed forward or bias) can be added to the control output as an offset. The result of the PID calculation (control vari...

NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram

The NE566 Function Generator is a Voltage-Controlled Oscillator of exceptional linearity with buf fered square wave and triangle wave outputs. The frequency of oscillation is determined by an external resistor and capacitor and the voltage applied to the control terminal. The Oscillator CAN be programmed over a ten-to-one frequency range by proper selection of an external resistance and modulated over a ten-to-one range by the control voltage, with exceptional linearity.

Circuit Project Wireless Doorbell

The first thing you will notice is the clever circuitry. Some of the design goes against everything we have learnt in electronics. That’s why we have to study other people’s designs and realise “the more you know, the more you realise you don’t know.” The oscillator circuit is very interesting, but first we will look at the RF oscillator. The doorbell operates on the 303MHz band and the 30 metre range (100ft) is obtained without the use of an antenna! The circuit is actually radiating from the printed track of the tank circuit. The Tank Circuit is a single-turn coil and a small capacitor (5p & 4p in parallel). In this project we show how to add a small antenna to the circuit to get double the range – plus two other improvements to increase the range. Some of the improvements will load the circuit and alter the frequency at which it operates. Others can be done without any effect on the circuit. Fortunately, the transmitting stage is what we call “tight” and is not affected by surro...
