LONG_TERM_ELECTRONIC_TIMER

Published:2009/7/7 3:57:00 Author:May

The timer includes an oscillator and a counter in an integrated circuit. The timing interval equals the oscillator period multiplied by the number of cycles to be counted.The oscillator frequency depends upon resistor RS and capacitor CX. The number of oscillator cycles to be counted before the counter output changes state is determined by the selection of the counter output terminal, shown here as pin 3. The interval can be set anywhere in the range from fractions of a second to months; it is given by T = 0.55 RSCX2n, where n is an integer determined by the counter-output selection.Operation is initiated by the closure of momentary switch S1 (or by a command signal having a similar effect). This grounds one side of relay K1, thereby activating the relay and causing the closure of the switches that supply power to the timer and to the load.The turn-on of VCC at the timer is coupled through C1 to the counter-reset terminal, thus resetting the counter. The initial reset voltage transient is then drained away through R1 to permit normal operation. During the first half cycle of the counter operation, the counter output voltage (at pin 3 in this case) is low. This tums on transistor Q1 so that relay K1 latches on, enabling the timer to continue running even though switch S1 has opened. The oscillator runs while the relay is on. When the number of oscillator cycles reaches the limit, the counter output voltage at pin 3 goes high. This tums off Q1, thereby tuming off the relay and returning the system to the original power-off state to await the next starting command. The timing cycle can also be interrupted and the system tumed off by opening normally-closed switch S2.   (View)

TRIAC_SPEED_CONTROL_WITH_FEEDBACK

Published:2009/7/7 3:45:00 Author:May

Feedback is derived from load current, eliminating need for separate connections to motor field and armature windings. When triac conducts, normal line voltage less drop across triac and R5 is applied to motor. If firing of triac is delayed in each half of AC cycle, RMS voltage of motor is reduced and speed is correspondingly reduced. Feedback maintains torque at reduced speeds. Value of R5 in ohms is equal to 2 divided by rated RMS motor current in amperes and is 0.32 ohm for 6.5-A induction motor. Suitable for use with electric drills, where good torque is obtained down to about one-third of maximum speed.- Circuit Applications for the Triac, Motorola, Phoenix, AZ, 1971, AN-466, p 7.   (View)
