Water tank sensor circuit
Hi there. Wooo my first proper post.
Right down to buisness.
I have been using the schematics package tina. And I have a problem. This may be simple but I am first year so please bare with me.
Here is the question:
_______________________________________________________________
A circuit is required that will indicate, via a voltage output, the total amount of water contained in four water tanks. Each water tank has a sensor which outputs a certain voltage depending upon how much water is in the tank as follows:
100% Full +20mV
50% Half full 0V
0% Empty -20mV
It is required that the maximum voltage output from the circuit be as close to, but not exceed the supply voltage of +/- 12V.
Using an IDEAL op=amp produce a circuit to fulfil the specifications outlined above.
_______________________________________________________________
So I have a table of values. Now for the diagram I am thinking 4 voltage sources to represent the inputs, but do they then all go straight into the Op amp?
I am not so much looking for the answer more just a help in understanding. I am fairley new to this and there is very little help with the Tina application.
Thanks
