SIMPLE_REMOTE_CONTROL_INTERFACE_CIRCUITS
If you want to control a dc motor, a momentary load, or an on/off load, these are some useful interface circuits. Figure A shows a dc-motor controller that requires the outputs of two different channels (CH1 and CH2). Note that it doesn't matter if the channel outputs are active low or high; what matters is that CH1 must be different from CH2 for the motor to be energized. The circuits in Figs. B and C are momentary-load controllers for active high and active low channel outputs, respectively. The circuit in Fig. D is a toggled-load controller. If you have an active high channel out-put, you must add the inverter shown.   (View)

AUTOMATIC_WATERING_SYSTEM_CONTROLLER
Two probes are inserted into the soil. When the soil is wet, it is more conductive and Q1 is for-ward-biased, cutting Q2 off. As the soil dries, Q1 loges bias, allowing Q2 to turn on, actuating the relay RY1. RY1 closes, operating the watering-system control valve. When the soil is sufficiently moist, Q1 turns on, cutting off Q2, RY1, and the water valve.   (View)

SPRINKLER_GUARDIAN_

Published:2009/7/17 4:09:00 Author:Jessie

SPRINKLER_GUARDIAN_
The Sprinkler Guardian can be used in conjunction with any sprinkler controller that uses standard 24-Vac valves. The add-on unit senses the moisture content at the ground surface; if the ground is dry, the unit allows the controller to execute all the ON times preset by the controller clock. The unit obtains its power supply from the controller that it is used with. The output of U1 supplies a regulated 12 V to the rest of the circuit. The ground probes are connected to terminals 1 and 2 of TB2. Resistor R2 is used to balance the resistance of the earth between the two probes so that op amp U2, which is configured as a comparator, outputs a high when the ground is dry. PNP transistor Q1 is turned off, K1 is not energized, and terminals 1 and 2 of TB3 are shorted. Under those con-ditions, if the controller calls for watering the lawn, watering will commence. Now, assume that the ground is wet. The resistance between the probes drops, causing the output of U2 to go low, which turns on Q1. That energizes K1. Under those conditions, even when the controller is programmed to water, the valves will not open. Now assume that the soil is dry. Relay K1 is off. When the programmed watering time arrives, the water valve is opened, starting the timed watering cycle. The probes are wetted immediately, and U2 goes low. As the voltage output of U2 drops, a negative-going pulse is delivered through C4 to pin 2 of U3, a 555 timer, which triggers the timer into operation. The time output from pin 3 turns Q2 off, which keeps K1 from closing during the time cycle deter-mined by R8 and C7. That allows time for the sprinkler system to complete the watering cycle. A DPDT switch, S1, is used to place the circuit in either the automatic or manual mode. In the automatic mode, the circuit operates as previously described. In the manual mode, the terminals of TB3 are shorted, effectively removing the Guardian from the system.   (View)

AC_OPERATED_WATERING_CONTROL_SYSTEM
Ac operation of the circuit reduces possible electrolysis effects over time. Two probes are inserted into the soil. When the soil is wet, it is more conductive and Q1 conducts, cutting Q2 off. As the soil dries, Q1 loses bias, allowing Q2 to turn on, actuating the relay (RY1). RY1 closes, operating the watering-system control valve. When the soil is sufficiently moist, Q1 turns on, cutting off Q2, RY1, and the water valve. R2 sets the trip level.   (View)

1_min_RECORD_PLAYBACK_CIRCUIT
You can cascade several ISD1020As to increase a system's capacity. A circuit to create a 1-minute message is shown. With this conftguration, a message is stored across chip boundaries in a manner transparent to the user. Changing from Record to Play resets the MSP to the beginning of the first message in the series. The next Play proceeds under control of CB. The circuit operates exactly like that for a single device.   (View)

TAPELESS_PLAY_ONLY_DEVICE
This requires a prerecorded message to be preprogrammed in the ISD1020A. To play a message, set the switch to the +5-V position. The ISD1020A plays the entire contents one time, then stops.Because CB is tied low, the set end-of-message bits are ignored. Momentarily changing the switch to open, then back to +5 V makes the ISD1020A play again.   (View)

Tri_level_comparator

Published:2009/7/17 4:01:00 Author:Jessie

Tri_level_comparator
This circuit uses all three sections of a CA3060 to form a tri-level comparator, which has three adjustable limits. If either the upper or lower limit is exceeded, the appropriate output is activated until the input signal returns to a selected intermediate value. Such comparators are used in industrial control applications. The lower and upper limits are set by R 1 and R2, respectively. R3 and R4 set the intermediate limit. When both R3 and R4 are the same value, the intermediate limit is midway between the upper and lower limits. The loads shown are 5-V 25-mA lamps.

FAULT_TOLERANT_RELAY_DRIVER

Published:2009/7/17 4:09:00 Author:Jessie

FAULT_TOLERANT_RELAY_DRIVER
Mechanical relays are useful in remote-switching applications that require electrical isolation between control and switched circuits. The traditional approach for driving the relay coils uses a single-transistor common-emitter switch. The figure shows a circuit that can reduce the likelihood of having an unrecoverable failure in the relay driver circuit. Additional transistor switches, inserted in series with the original controlling transistors, maintain proper operation if a single transistor fails. The diodes connected to the upper transistors prevent reverse base-current flow if the collector-base junctions break down. The diodes connected to the lower transistor provide proper biasing for the circuit. The upper and lower transistors will have a similar Vbe because they are the same type and have nearly identical currents. Therefore, the Vbe of the lower transistor will be about the same as one diode voltage drop, and the device will be operating in the active region. Power to the relays can be provided by one of two voltage sources connected together through 'diodes in a wired-OR configuration. The additional diode clamps the coil inductance voltage spike in the event that one of the suppression diodes fails shorted.   (View)

SOLID_STATE_LATCHING_RELAY_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/17 4:07:00 Author:Jessie

SOLID_STATE_LATCHING_RELAY_CIRCUIT
A multitude of simple circuits perform switch debouncing because there are many ways to implement a toggling latch. The circuit illustrated here merges these functions into one topology, is extremely tolerant of power-supply variation (it works fine over more than a 3:1 range of supply voltage), and, most importantly, is unusual. The IC used in this case is the 4053B triple CMOS SPDT switch. Section B acts as a bistable latch and stores the current ON/OFF state of the relay. The 2.2-kΩ resistor between pins 1 (the ON terminal of the switch) and 10 (the control input) provides positive feedback that sustains the switch in whichever state it finds itself. Thus, if the latch is ON, pin 1 will be switched to pin 15 and, thereby, the positive rail. This will reinforce the positive state of pin 10 and the ON state of the switch. If, on the other hand, the latch is OFF, then the connection of pin 1 to pin 15 will be broken and the 10-kΩ pull-down resistor will drag pin 1 to ground. This will pull pin 10 low, in turn, holding the latch in the OFF state. Meanwhile, pin 2 will output the logic inverse of the signal appearing in pin 1. This signal communicates to pin 3 and, if the control push button is open, will connect to pin 4 and charge the capacitor to a state opposite that of the latch. There matters will rest until someone presses the button. This will connect the capacitor to pin 10 and toggle the Latch state. 4053B section A serves as an output buffer and has an output impedance of about 200 Ω when run with a 5-V supply and 100 Ω when run with a 12-V supply. If this is insufficient for the application, a transistor emitter-follower, like that illustrated, will boost output capability to beyond 0.1 A.   (View)

50_μA_SOLID_STATE_RELAY

The relay circuit described here reduces the control current to 50 μA, but can switch up to 600 W of 120-Vac power. The circuit uses a conventional 10-A, 400-V triac. The triac gate current is routed through a small bridge rectifier, a 15-V zener diode, a sensitive SCR (Q2), and a 180-Ω resistor (R2). The circuit allows a small SCR to control ac current through the triac's gate terminal. The voltage needed to control the SCR's gate terminal is developed by rectifying and filtering the ac voltage across the triac. Capacitors C2, C4, and C5, resistor R3, bridge rectifier BR2, and zener diode D2 form the rectifier circuit. C5 and D2 filter and limit the supply voltage to about 8 V, while the 470-Ω resistor R3 limits the charging current. To develop a slightly higher voltage (up to 30 V p-p), a 15-V zener diode (D1) is inserted in series with the SCR. D1 delays the triac's conduction trigger point each half cycle and produces only a slight reduction in rms power to the load. The dc control voltage, produced by the rectifier circuit, is switched to the SCR's gate using a sensitive Darlington-type optoisolator (A1)i Only about 50 μA of LED current in the isolator is needed to fully turn on the SCR.   (View)
