Design of Tilt Angle Measurement System

Article Preview

Abstract:

For the purpose of inclination measurement and monitoring, a tilt angle measurement system using a heat convection accelerometer is presented in this study. A conditioning circuit that center around the single chip processor is designed and built. Experiments were carried out to characterize the measuring system with the range of-90° to +90°. The output results show nonlinear relationship. The calibration result indicates that the sensitivity of the accelerometer is about 650mV/g. The maximum error is 5.5% while the repeatability error is 3%. Experiments proved that the developed measurement system is capable of measuring tilt angle.
