The design process can be split into several stages,
each separated by a review and a
continue/rework/abort point.
a. Need
b. Feasibility
c. Specification
d. Conceptual Design
e. Analysis and Modelling
f. Embodiment and
Optimisation
g. Detail Design

Design Process
Types of Design
? Design for function
? Design for strength or stiffness
? Design for reliability
? Design for maintainability
? Design for manufacture
Ref: Mechatronics : Bradley, Dawson, Burd,
Loader
Mechanisms
? Mechatronic systems require mechanisms for
various functions like
¨C Change of speed
¨C Action at a distance
¨C Force amplification
¨C Sequencing
¨C synchronising
Ref: Mechatronics : Bradley, Dawson, Burd,
Loader
Mechanisms ¨C Load conditions
? A mechanism experiences variety of load
conditions at both input and output.
? It has its own inertia due to its motion
? The mechanism driver must be able to provide
sufficient force as well as torque to cover the
entire operational envelope
Ref: Mechatronics : Bradley, Dawson, Burd,
Loader
Structures ¨C Load Conditions
? The loading on a structure must be carefully analysed
before designing adequate structure.
? The stresses may be difficult to analyse.
? Analysis by computer modelling is helpful.
TYPES :
* static loading
* dynamic and cyclic loading
* impulse and shock loading
Ref: Mechatronics : Bradley, Dawson, Burd,
Loader
Mechanisms ¨C Load conditions
Load Conditions decide
? actuator requirements
? attaining partial static balance
? articulation requirements
? speed and accuracy
? minimization of kinetic energy
? power transmission over a distance
? effect of assembly play and friction
? inertia
Ref: Mechatronics : Bradley, Dawson, Burd,
Loader
Mechanism - Flexibility
? Resilience ¨C each member of mechanism
experiences tension, bending and torsion.
Allowed loading can be determined by
mathematical modelling
? Backlash ¨C flexibility in mechanism causes
backlash in gears or play in joints
? Vibration ¨C flexibility in mechanism leads to
vibrations in dynamic loading.
Ref: Mechatronics : Bradley, Dawson, Burd,
Loader
Flexibility of Structures
? Using microprocessors, local flexibility in
structures can be taken care of, if we use
closed loop control with feedback sensor close
to point of action
? If sensors are located far away from the point
of action then errors can result due to
flexibility of structure. So the structure will
have to be designed to be very stiff. (making it
heavy, increasing energy requirements of
robot)
Ref: Mechatronics : Bradley, Dawson, Burd,
Loader
Flexibility of Structures
? Vibration Effects - Flexible structures are
prone to vibrations, particularly if excited at
natural frequencies.
? Materials ¨C suitable choice of material and
manufactured form can greatly affect the
flexibility and life of structure.
Ref: Mechatronics : Bradley, Dawson, Burd,
Loader
Man-Machine Interface
? Facility by which bidirectional transfer of
information required for system operation
takes place
? It is concerned with ergonomic aspects of the
design and covers areas such as display of
information, operator systems, environmental
factors and safety.
Ref: Mechatronics : Bradley, Dawson, Burd,
Loader
Safety
? Operator Safety
Trapping, Entanglement, Contact, Impact,
Ejection
Environment
? System Safety
Shock, Vibration, Corrosion, Fire, Misuse
Redundancy
Ref: Mechatronics : Bradley, Dawson, Burd,
Loader
DCS
? Level 0 contains the field devices such as flow and temperature sensors, and final
control elements, such as control valves
? Level 1 contains the industrialised Input/Output (I/O) modules, and their
associated distributed electronic processors.
? Level 2 contains the supervisory computers, which collect information from
processor nodes on the system, and provide the operator control screens.
? Level 3 is the production control level, which does not directly control the process,
but is concerned with monitoring production and monitoring targets
? Level 4 is the production scheduling level.
? Levels 1 and 2 are the functional levels of a traditional DCS, in which all equipment
are part of an integrated system from a single manufacturer.
? Levels 3 and 4 are not strictly process control in the traditional sense, but where
production control and scheduling takes place.
