Angular Position (AP) Project
The Angular Position Project (AP Project) is a University of Central Florida senior design project being sponsored. The project is to capture angular position and use that information to determine if a safety hazard occurs. The Angular Position Project (AP Project) uses an on-board encoder attached to the shaft of the test object to read the test objects linear angular position. Once the angular position is obtained the encoder feeds that information to an on-board microcontroller for processing. The microcontroller will take in the analog data, run it through its algorithms to decide if the test object is operating in an in-range mode or out-of-range mode. Then the microcontroller gives the data to an on-board transmitter. The transceiver packages the data then sends it wirelessly to a wayside transceiver. From the transceiver, the data is sent directly to the way-side PLC.
