All parts of a question should be answered at one place.
Q.No. Marks
1. Explain the working principle of UNIPOLAR HALF STEP and BIPOLAR FULL 15
STEP stepper motors in pictorial and tabular form for CW and CCW movements.
State the steps to move the above stepper motors at 240 rpm in CW and CCW
direction. Also, draw the circuit diagrams to drive the stepper motors.

2. Describe the working principle along with diagram for 1) Infrared Sensor, 2) Laser 9
Distance Sensor and 3)Touch sensor, to be used in mechtronics systems.

3. Define Mechatronics system in terms of block diagram, graphical and lingustic 5

forms. Give suitable examples of four mechatronics systems.

4. a Classify various actuators in a tree diagram manner used for mechatronics systems. 5

4. b Give the construction, working principle, features, applications and diagrams of 8

bent axis motor and vane motor.

5 Design a 7 kg Mechatronics washing machine using Mamdani Fuzzy AI Technique. 18

The inputs are a)Weight of the clothes (0-7 kg); b) Level of dirtiness (0-100%) and

c)Level of oily and greasiness in the clothes (0-100%).Explain all the steps during

design of the Mechatronics system using above method. Find out the outputs {i.e.

washing time(0-50 minutes) and quantity of detergent(0-250gms)} for the inputs

5.2 kg (clothes), 65% (dirtiness level) and 75% (level of oily and greasiness in the

clothes).
