Objective:
The primary aim of this project is to develop a cost-effective, reliable, and user-friendly system
for measuring and controlling the parameters of electrical machines using LabVIEW. The
system will consist of a custom-built Data Acquisition (DAQ) module integrated with LabVIEW
software for real-time monitoring, data analysis, and control of machine parameters such as
voltage, current, speed (RPM), power, and temperature.
Problem Statement:
In laboratories and industrial environments, precise measurement and control of electrical
machine parameters are critical for performance evaluation, fault detection, and optimization.
Traditional measurement systems are either expensive or lack the flexibility for real-time data
visualization and control. This project addresses the need for an affordable and efficient
solution to measure and control parameters of electrical machines using modern software
tools like LabVIEW.
Features of the System:
1. Parameter Measurement:
• Voltage: Using a voltage divider circuit and an ADC to measure machine voltage
(AC/DC).
• Current: Using a Hall-effect current sensor (e.g., ACS712) for accurate current
readings.
• A custom-built DAQ module will serve as an interface between the sensors and
LabVIEW.
• Select appropriate sensors (e.g., ACS712 for current, optical encoder for
speed).
• Design the signal conditioning circuits to ensure sensor compatibility with the
DAQ module.
2. Hardware Development:
• Interface sensors with the microcontroller and test individual components for
accuracy.

Expected Outcomes:
• An intuitive LabVIEW interface for parameter monitoring, data logging, and control.
