Monitoring and maintaining process variables at the appropriate levels is extremely critical in industrial auto ma tion and process control. A sensor in the industrial environment is either continuously or periodically measuring vital parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow, etc. The primary challenge of sensing in industrial environments is conditioning low signal levels in the presence of high noise and high surge voltage.

This warrants for extremely low noise, low drift, precision programmable gain amplifiers and instrumentation amplifiers with an appropriate common-mode voltage. The rate of change of the measured signal is usually not very rapid and hence high-resolution precision delta-sigma converters are widely used in industrial sensors. Low power consumption is another key requirement for industrial sensors as many of them are powered off the traditional 4–20 mA loop. Digital connectivity features such as PROFIBUS, IO-Link, and wireless connectivity are increasing in popularity as they provide continuous monitoring, fault diagnostics and reduce start up times, greatly improving productivity and efficiency of the automation loop.

Texas Instruments (TI) has a broad portfolio of products catering to industrial sensing, ranging from best-in-class precision amplifiers and data converters to interface products, power products and high-performance microprocessors. TI’s cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing processes provide industrial designers with products that meet the highest standards and that are optimized for industrial environments and extended product life cycles.

Temperature sensors are used to measure temp-erature and have a wide range of uses in industrial and com mer cial applications. Temperature measure ments are commonly made by using a resistance temperature detector (RTD), thermistor or thermocouple.

RTDs have wire winding or thin-film serpentine elements that exhibit changes in resistance with changes in temperature. Thermistors, typically made of ceramic or polymer material, also exhibit significant changes in resistance with changes in temperature. Thermocouples consist of two dissimilar metal wires welded together to form two junctions. Temperature differences between the junctions cause a thermoelectric potential (i.e., a voltage) between the two wires. Holding the reference junction at a known temperature and measuring this voltage permits the temperature

of the sensing junction to be deduced. A constant and linear excitation source is a critical aspect of RTD/thermistor sensing, while cold junction compensation is the key to a good temperature measurement with thermocouples.

With its high integration, excellent resolution and accuracy, the ADS1248 offers a single-chip solution to all of these types of temperature measurements. The ADS1118 is a lower-cost solution which has the basic core needed for any temperature measurement and an extremely accurate on-chip temperature sensor that is perfect for accurate cold junction compensation.

The LMP90100 family consists of highly integrated, multi-channel, low power Sensor AFEs. A true continuous background calibration feature allows calibration at all gains and output data rates without interrupting the signal path. The background calibration feature essentially eliminates gain and offset errors across temperature and time, providing measurement accuracy without sacrificing speed and power consumption. Continuous background sensor diagnostics, allow the detection of open and short circuit conditions and out-of-range signals, without requiring user intervention, resulting in enhanced system reliability.

Pressure sensors convert a physical value –weight, tire pressure, level, force or flow – into a differential signal in the range of millivolts per volt and use metal thick-film, ceramic thin-film, or piezoresistive technologies, to name a few. The majority of designers use the cost-effective piezosensors that can sense 25 mbar to 25 bar. However, these sensors are very nonlinear and temperature-dependent and have a large offset and large offset drift. They also require attention to electronic calibration and compensation.

Electronic weigh scales, which are found in many industrial applications, use a load cell as the primary transducer. Load-cell designs can be distinguished according to the type of output signal they generate – pneumatic, hydraulic or electric. Strain-gauge load cells convert the load acting on them into electrical signals in the range of millivolts per volt. A major challenge in designing weigh scales is that they must sample multiple load cells while producing extremely low input referred noise.

Another important factor is the analog circuitry’s long-term stability with regard to offset drift and gain. Here the accuracy of the amplified input signal, either single-ended or differential, must be guaranteed over years of operation. Hence

the signal chain has to handle the small signals accurately in the presence of noise in addition to conditioning for offset, drift, temperature dependency and other factors.

TI’s ADS1232 is designed as a highly integrated delta-sigma ADC for low-level, high-precision measurements, especially for weigh-scale

applications. The device consists of a low-drift, low-noise instrumentation amplifier (selectable gain) and a high-order, chopper-stabilized modulator followed by a digital filter in a monolithic device. This is a single-chip solution that can be directly interfaced as a front end to a load-cell bridge output.

The electromagnetic flowmeter consists of a nonferromagnetic tube wrapped with a magnetic coil. Electrodes in the tube’s inner isolated surface are in contact with a conductive liquid that flows through the tube. The coils around the pipe generate a magnetic field within the tube. The magnetic field inducts a voltage in the liquid that is proportional to the speed of the liquid in the tube. This voltage is measured via the electrodes.Because the measured voltage is very low, precise low-noise signal conditioning is required.

Coriolis flowmeter is a popular flowmeter that directly measures mass flow rate. Applying a strong magnetic field to a pipe through which fluid is flowing makes the pipe oscillate at a particular resonant frequency. When the fluid starts flowing through the pipe, it is subject to Coriolis force. The oscillatory motion of the pipe superimposes on the linear motion of the fluid, exerting twisting

forces on the pipe. This twisting is due to Coriolis acceleration acting in opposite directions on either side of the pipe and to the fluid’s resistance to the vertical motion. Sensor electrodes placed on both the inlet and outlet sides pick up the phase difference caused by this motion. This phase shift due to the twisting forces is a direct measurement of mass flow rate.

Low-noise instrumentation amplifiers followed by precision ADCs is typical of the signal-chain path. Precision DACs or PWM drivers are used to

excite the field coils. Multiple-channel ADCs with simultaneous sampling architectures make it possible to take multiple measurements such as temperature, phase, density, etc. at the same time.

TI’s ADS1274, which is a 24-bit, 4-channel, simultaneous-sampling delta-sigma converter with up to 144 kSPS, is the perfect front end for flowmeters requiring multiple measurements (Coriolis). The ADS1259 is a high-linearity, low-drift, 24-bit, delta-sigma converter commonly used in electromagnetic flowmeters.

Overview

The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is the workhorse of Industrial Control systems. It uses digital and analog I/O modules to interface to sensors, actuators and other equipment. These I/O modules must meet stringent electrical specifi cations and

gninoit idnoc ni segnellahc ecaf srengisedand converting these signals. In addition, increasing levels of embedded processing and connectivity can be seen on these modules. Variations of the PLC include the Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) which has more integration and processing functions to tackle more complex operations

and the Distributed Control System (DCS) which is used extensively in process control. The DCS uses distributed controllers, each performing a specifi c task, connected together by networks for communication and monitoring. A central control room is typically used for an entire plant.

The PLC SystemPLCs can be segmented by I/O count and scan rates. They can also be classifi ed as brick type versus modular PLCs. A small or brick PLC has a fi xed number of connections for inputs and outputs. Modular PLCs have a chassis (also called a rack) into which are placed modules with different functions. The processor and selection of I/O modules is customized to fi t the application. A modular PLC consists of the Central Processing Unit (CPU), a power supply and various I/O modules. The CPU performs the main controller functions like scanning data and running control sequences. The power supply unit converts line power to 24 volts. The I/O

modules are used to measure data from sensors and to control various actuators. Together, the input and output modules along with the central controller form a control loop.

I/O Module TypesI/O modules can be classifi ed as analog input (AI), analog output (AO), digital input (DI) and digital output (DO). They are usually cate go-rized into 2-, 4-, 8- and 16-channel modules. I/O modules need to meet stringent electrical specifi cations such as the IEC 61000-4 family of Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) tests for surge, ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and EFT (Electrically Fast Transients). They also need short-circuit and overload protection. All these modules include isolation between the control side and the fi eld side via DC-DC converters and isolation on digital communication between the fi eld devices and the digital backplane. Communication over the digital backplane is done by a variety of interfaces (RS-485, CAN, Ethernet, etc.) and industrial fi eldbuses (PROFIBUS, DeviceNet, Modbus, Ethernet I/P, EtherCAT, PROFINET, etc.) On the following pages, we discuss solutions from TI for these various I/O types.

Human Machine Interface (HMI), also referred to as User Interface, Operator Panel or Terminal, provides a means of controlling, monitoring, managing and/or visualizing device processes. An example is an operator panel which allows an industrial machine operator to interact with a machine in a graphical, visual way. With controls and read-outs graphically displayed on the screen, the operator can use either external buttons or the touch screen to control the machinery. Ranging from simple segmented displays to high-resolution LCD panels, HMIs can be located on the machine, in battery-operated, portable handheld devices, and also in centralized control rooms. They are used in machine and process control to connect the sensors, actuators and machines on the factory fl oor to I/O control and PLC application systems.

An industrial HMI system’s usability is determined by its processing power, its ability to render complex and reality-like screens, its fast response time to user

input and its fl exibility to handle various levels of operator interactions. HMIs require dynamically changing graphics which, in

noitulos ecna mrofrep-hgih a eriuqer ,nrutthat can achieve the 60 frame-per-second refresh rate that is required at the right resolution. They also have to support multiple

We support a wide variety of operating systems (OS), such as Linux™, Windows® CE and Android™, as well as multiple real-time operating systems like QNX and VXWorks.

Display: TI’s touch-screen controllers provide a low-power, high-performance solution with features to measure touch pressure, and preprocessing to reduce bus loading, thus reducing the consumption of host processor resources that can then be redirected to more critical functions. In addition, TI has a range of products to generate Haptics effects – a feedback technology that takes advantage of a user’s sense of touch – by driving motor-based and piezo-based actuators to deliver vibration and/or motion to the user interface.

Connectivity: TI has solutions to enable wired connectivity by communication standards such as CAN, UART, USB, RS-232,RS-485 and 10-/100-Mbit Ethernet. Theseinterface options enable hooking up the system to a myriad of external peripherals and accessories, depending on the need of the end application. Real-time communica-tions is the heart of industrial automation. With a unique architecture of an ARM processor and PRU (programmable real-time unit), TI supports popular serial and Ethernet bases standards such as PROFIBUS, EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP/IP, DeviceNET and Powerlink. Finally, our wire-less connectivity solutions for Bluetooth®, ZigBee® and WLAN networks enable portable HMIs (www.ti.com/wireless).

Power ManagementIndustrial field transmitters could be powered in one of three ways: loop, line or battery.

Texas Instruments (TI) offers a complete line of high-performance power management products designed for industrial applications. The devices shown are well-suited for powering sensors that may require low noise and high efficiency in both line- and loop-powered (4–20 mA) topologies. Many TI DC/DC converters feature current-mode control with fast dynamic response and a pulse skipping eco-mode with low quiescent current which saves energy at light loads. Battery-powered transmitters can be designed using TI’s low-power Buck and Buck-Boost converters.

Processor and ConnectivityThe MSP430™ MCU, with its integrated analog peripherals, is the perfect platform for designers looking to implement calibration routines, compensation algorithms, etc. The computing power and rich peripherals set accented by ultra-low power consumption, makes the MSP430 MCU the universal choice for sensor design.

For flowmeter applications which require more signal processing than offered by a standard MCU, the C5000™ platform of DSPs is the optimal solution. The C5000 DSP has an FFT accelerator core that enables computing FFTs in a matter of seconds while drawing very little current. The ultra-low-power architecture of the C5000 DSP

offers superior signal-processing power while still being able to be powered off the 4–20-mA loop.

Traditional analog (4–20 mA) interface remains the popular choice for industrial control and sensor applications. The other popular protocols include HART, PROFIBUS and IO-Link. TI’s IO-Link interface products have integrated regulators and diagnostic outputs. In addition, wireless options based on IEEE 802.15.4 protocols are becoming more prevalent. TI is committed to provide solutions for both traditional and emerging industrial interfaces.
