PROTEUS: A SIMULATION PROGRAM

Erturul Eri 2011

WHAT IS PROTEUS?
CIRCUIT ANALYSIS: Fnd the elements(components) currents and voltages for a given circut
LAB MODELLING (THEORY;MATHEMATICAL SOLUTIONS) SIMULATION PROTEUS
INTERACTIVE (STEP BY STEP) GRAPH BASED (WAVWFORMS) Analog circuits: ITEC, CA, Electroic I, II, control theory, Digital circuit: Logic Design, Microprocessors

PROTEUS
Purpose: CIRCUIT ANALYSIS
Input(s) Sources

CIRCUIT

ELEMENTS (COMPONENTS) TOPOLOGY

Output(s) calculations measurements

TOOL: P
Generator Parts/Simulator primitives Instruments/ Signal generator

Parts Analog/digital Wire autorouter

Instruments Current probe Voltage probe

ELEMENTS VS COMPONENTS
ELEMENTS
THEORY/IDEAL PROTEUS/MODELLING PRIMITIVES (WE USE IN LAB)

COMPONENTS
LAB/PRACTICALLY EMPLOYED IN LAB BUY IN SELANIK PASAJI/KARAKY CAN BE MODELLED BY AN/(A FEW) IDEAL ELEMENT(S) (WILL BE TAUGHT IN CLASS)

Zoom Adjust Buttons + Mouse Scroll

DRAWING AREA All parts should be placed in this area

Mode Group 1: Parts (Elements, components): Modelling primitives will be used Topology: wire autorouter will be used Source primitives Mode Group 2: Graph simulaton(Waveforms) THIS SIMULATION WILL BE USED Generators (AC/DC) OR Parts/smulation primitives will be used V-voltage probe will be used I-current probe will be used Instruments (AC/DC voltmeter/Ammeter; Ossiloscope)
Mode Group 3: Drawing Shapes, Text Input Mode Group 4: Component Rotation will be used Interactive Simulation

Select: COMPONENT MODE Select: P (Pick Devices)

Which part ???

Category

Sub-Category
Manufacturer

Discover!!! Lets select Resistors from Category

Click parts in mode area Click P in mode area

click Modelling Primitives n Category click Analog(SPICE) n Subcategory Select Resistor ThenOK

Right click on the resistor, Select edit properties

Place resistor on the drawing area

Reference Value: This is assigned automatically

Component Value: Editable

SOURCE SELECTION
PARTS
SOURCE PRIMITIVES
DC (IDEAL BATTERY) AC (IDEAL VOLTAGE SOURCE AT HOMES)

ADDING VOLTAGE SOURCE

Dobble click Parts

Cick simulator primitives

Select Vsource then OK

ADDING VOLTAGE SOURCE

Place Vsource in drawing area

Right click on V source, select edit properties Then OK

TOPOLOGY
ELEMENTS CONNECTION
WIRE OUTOROUTING GROUND PLACEMENT (TERMINALS/GROUND)

TOPOLOGY: WIRE CONNECTION

click on the wire autorouter,

Connect the component terminal s as required by topology

 TERMINALS/GROUND EVERY CIRCUIT MUST HAVE ONE!!

click Terminals

ADDING GROUND

select Ground Place Ground n drawing area

Complete wire connection for ground

OUTPUTS
OUTPUTS COULD BE VOLTAGE/CURRENT OF ANY ELEMENT IN THE CIRCUIT MEASUREMENT IN PROTEUS: MOSTLY VOLTAGE/CURRENT PROBES
Current probe should be on horizontal wire, not on the vertical wire!!

MEASUREMENT: VPROBE/IPROBE
Voltage probe Current probe

SIMULATION
TWO SIMULATION
INTERACTIVE
Mostly used for digital signals

GRAPH BASED SIMULATION (WAVEFORMS)

Mostly used for analog signals Graph mode/Analog
Probe selection Left/right y-axis selection for probe measurements Min/max value borders

GRAPH SIMULATION
Clic graph mode

select analogue

place graph window on drawing area Analogue prospice window will be seen

GRAPH SIMULATION
s
Edit Transient Graph Start/stop time Add Transient Trace Allready placed probe waveforms are chosen Different (left/right) y-axis scale could be selected Simulation Run

COMPONENTS VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT

Voltage probe measures the node voltage where it is placed. In order to find an element votage, the therminal node-voltages of the element should be substructed. This operation could be done

A COMPONENT/ELEMENTS VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT

Name the component Select R1(a) probe Select R1(b) probe Change + sign with (-) Click OK Run simulation
