NFIers made a project to calculate differential input from two analog input sources. (VFD Feedback & Rotary Potentiometer). The differential gain is calibrated using analog input card DVP 04 AD. This project can be used to measure differential pressure, level, temperature or speed from any two analog sources with control voltage range of 0 ~ 10th Volt or 4 ~ 20 mA. For more details, find a doc file in shared folders.

Manufacturing dreams for India
The government hopes to make India the manufacturing capital of the world and best utilise the nation’s treasure trove of potential in terms of technology and information
In spite of inflation and rising prices of raw material cost, the sector has big dreams
to harbour. This fact was established at the All India Management Association (AIMA) award function in New Delhi recently by Union minister for Commerce and Industry Anand Sharma while delivering the keynote address.
Highlights of the speech
Mr Sharma said that the need of the hour is clean and green technology wherein, India is all geared to play a leading role play in that sector. While addressing the media he stated that he felt proud about the milestones achieved by the Indian corporate the world over. He also stressed on the fact that many of the Indian companies have grown globally which has been achieved by making abundant use of information and knowledge system.
The minister added that the global economic meltdown has helped establish India’s true spirit and economic strength. According to him, opportunities and challenges are courted by capital and information; therefore, these factors should be leveraged to best suit the growth pattern of the nation. For India to have a dominant role in global economic growth, the nation has to witness enormous amount of business investments, he said.
Speaking in this context, ET Jaichan, proprietor of Bengaluru based small-sized engineering cutting tool manufacturing unit Jaico Tools said, “For the manufacturing sector to grow, it is essential to increase the volume of production and businesses manifold; only then will any true glory come fetching India’s way. The manufacturing sector is dominated by SMEs and it is essential for the government to lend them support in order to thrive and survive.”
According to Mr Sharma, the nation has witnessed a sustained growth of 8-9% and more efforts are being made to nudge the nation ahead as the manufacturing capital. This will also create immense employment scope and benefits for the large populace.
