Abstract

This research is intended to find about how to derive an output signal (electrical) from a rotating body. The objective is to design a system that can detect the rotating body revolution per minute (rpm) value. The system must also have the capability to produce output(s) at certain triggering point(s) which is operator-defined. The signal produce from the system can be manipulated to trigger other system or device. In designing the system, flexibility will be taken into account so that if the system works, it can be implemented not only on vehicle’s engine system but also in any rotating/ reciprocating body. Other design considerations are accuracy, repeatability, rigidity, simplicity, reliability and cost. Complex system will try to be avoided if possible to ease tuning and troubleshooting. This project is highly significance in the automation industry as motorized device is a must in this industry and such system is still lacking. This system can be implemented in automation for example as a switch for other subsystem, speed control for motor/ lights or just for data logging.
