CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION

OBJECTIVE OF PROJECT
The need for a remote control alert system that can control domestic

appliances and various lighting points and sockets has often been a concern for users. At times users find it inconvenient and time consuming to go around turning their appliances on or off each time there is power outage or each time they are leaving the house for work. It has also often led to damage of appliances due to the fact that an appliance was not turned off before leaving the house. The Objective of putting up this project, therefore, is to design an equipment that can facilitate a convenient and easy way of controlling our domestic appliances, lighting points and sockets especially in powering them, without always going to appliances physically by ourselves. This objective will be accomplished using various components which include a Microcontroller (AT89C51) which acts as the backbone of the project together with other components. 1.2 JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT The ease of putting our appliances, lighting points and sockets on or off has made it necessary to develop this system in order to control our appliances, lighting points and sockets from a central point using a remote control. The issues of always forgetting our appliances ON when leaving the house has often caused fire outbreak and explosion in homes and this is another reason that led to designing and construction of this project.

concept and acceptable reasons why the project should be implemented for the intending user of the work. Thus, showing the block diagram of the design and a scope of diagram for the entire project design. Chapter 2 deals with the literature review where it will be discussing the origin of this project design. In the origin of the project, we will be looking at what brings about the three phase selector in our day to day activity and how the idea of designing this project comes about. A description of the Project is also given where the 2 sections of the project are discussed and the various components contained in the sections also mentioned.

CHAPTER TWO
LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 REVIEW OF REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEMS One of the earliest examples of remote control alert was developed in 1893 by Nikola Tesla. With the invention of Relays previously in 1835 by Joseph Henry it became possible to use remote controls to drive other devices. This is because of the ability or relays to serve as a switch that can control devices when energized by electricity. Again with the invention of Integrated Circuits like 555 timers and Microcontrollers, more functionality was added to whole concept of Remote control alert. The first remote intended to control a television was developed by Zenith radio Corporation in the early 1950s and made use of wire to connect to the television set. The remote unofficially called "Lazy Bones" used a wire to connect to the television set. To improve the cumbersome setup, a wireless remote control alert was created in 1955. The remote called "Flashmatic" worked by shining a beam of light onto a photoelectric cell. Unfortunately, the cells did not distinguish between light from the remote and light from other sources. The Flashmatic also required that the remote control be pointed accurately at the receiver. In 1956 Robert Adler developed "Zenith Space Command", a wireless remote. It was mechanical and used ultrasound to change the channel and volume. When the user pushed a button on the remote control it clicked and struck a bar, hence the term "clicker". Each bar emitted a different frequency and circuits in the television detected this noise. The invention of the transistor made possible cheaper electronic remotes that contained a piezoelectric crystal that was fed by an oscillating electric current at a frequency near or above the upper threshold of human hearing, though still audible to dogs. The receiver contained a microphone attached to a circuit that was tuned to the same frequency. Some

problems with this method were that the receiver could be triggered accidentally by naturally occurring noises, and some people, especially young women, could hear the piercing ultrasonic signals. There was even a noted incident in which a toy xylophone changed the channels on these types of TVs since some of the overtones from the xylophone matched the remote's ultrasonic frequency. The impetus for a more complex type of television remote control alert came in the late 1970s with the development of the Ceefax teletext service by the BBC. Most commercial remote controls at that time had a limited number of functions, sometimes only four: next station, previous station, increase or decrease volume. This type of control did not meet the needs of teletext sets where pages were identified with three-digit numbers. A remote control to select teletext pages would need buttons for each number from zero to nine, as well as other control functions, such as switching from text to picture, and the normal television controls of volume, station, brightness, colour intensity and so on. Early teletext sets used wired remote controls to select pages but the continuous use of the remote control alert required for teletext quickly indicated the need for a wireless device. So BBC engineers began talks with one or two television manufacturers which led to early prototypes in around 1977-78 that could control a much larger number of functions. ITT was one of the companies and later gave its name to the ITT protocol of infrared communication. In the early 1980s, when semiconductors for emitting and receiving infrared radiation were developed, remote controls alert gradually switched to that technology which, as of 2006, is still widely used. Remotes using radio technologies, such as Bose Audio Systems and those based on Bluetooth also exist. By the early 2000s, the number of consumer electronic devices in most homes greatly increased. According to the Consumer Electronics Association, an average American home has four remotes. To operate a home theater as many as five or six remotes may be required, including one for cable or satellite receiver,
6

VCR or digital video recorder, DVD player, TV and audio amplifier. Several of these remotes may need to be used sequentially, but, as there are no accepted interface guidelines, the process is increasingly cumbersome. Many specialists, including Jakob Nielsen [2], a renowned usability specialist and Robert Adler, the inventor of the modern remote, note how confusing, unwieldy and frustrating the multiplying remotes have become. Most modern remote control alert systems for appliances use infrared diode to emit a beam of light that reaches the device or equipment. Therefore the concept of remote control is further expanded in another form by applying it in a circuit that is used to power many appliances automatically by pressing buttons on the remote control. 2.2 DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT This project is basically a device used to control our domestic appliances, lighting points and sockets. It is a remote control alert based system which is used to power our appliances, lighting points and sockets ON or OFF. The project consists of two sections which are; the Transmitting side and the Receiving side. The receiving side consists of a power supply section, a microcontroller and Relays. It also houses the Infrared Receiving Sensor circuit. The transmission side is a smaller component which is inform of a hand held component. It has a power supply section that is powered using a 9v battery. The transmission side also has a microcontroller which coordinates the various button inputs. The last major component contained in the transmitter side id the Infrared emitter/sender which transmits signals received from the input buttons to the receiving side of the system. This transmission is accomplished wirelessly through the Infrared emitter/sender on the Transmitter section.

2.3

USE OF PROJECT This Project is intended generally for everyone and especially for users of

HARDWARE COMPONENTS ANALYSIS

In this section, we have to discuss the principal electronic

components and devices that were put together in designing the hardware of this proj ect. There functions, mode of operation and other features that they have will be compared against other electronic component that could do the same job in the design. 3.2.1 Transformers A transformer is a device consisting of two closely coupled coils (called primary and secondary). An ac voltage applied to the primary appears across the secondary, with a voltage multiplication proportional to the turns ratio of the transformer and a current multiplication inversely proportional to the turns ratio. Power is conserved. Figs 3.1 shows the circuit symbol for a
9

laminated- core transformer (the kind used in this design- 50Hz ac power conversion).

Figs 3.0. Circu it symbol of a Transformer Transformers are qu ite efficient (output power is very nearly equal to input power); thus, a step- up transformer gives higher voltage at lower current. A transformer of turns ratio n increases the impedance by n 2 . There is very little primary current if the secondary is unloaded. Transformers serve two important functions in electronic instruments: they change the ac line voltage to a useful (usually lower) they isolate the electronic device from actual connection to value that can be used by the circuit, and the power line, becau se the windings of a transformer are electrically insulated from each other. Power transformers (meant for use from the 220V power line) come in an enormous variety of secondary voltages and currents: ou tput as low as 1 volt or so up to thousand volts, current ratings from a few milliamps to hundreds of amps.

3.2.2

Bri dge Recti fier A bridge rectifier can be made using four individual diodes,

bu t it is also available in special packages (like the one used in this design) containing the four diodes required. It is called a fu ll- wave rectifier because it uses all the AC wave (both positive and negative sections). 1.4V is used up in the bridge rectifier becau se each diode uses 0.7V when conducting and there are always two diodes conducting, as shown in the diagram below. Bridge rectifiers are rated by the maximum current they can pass and the maximu m reverse voltage they can withstand (this must be at least three times the supply RMS voltage so the rectifier can withstand the peak voltages). By contrast, rectifier diodes and bridges for use in power supplies are hefty objects with current ratings going from 1 to 25 amps or more and breakdown voltages going from 100 volts to 1000 volts. They have relatively high leakage currents (in the range of micro amps to milliamps) and plenty of junction capacitance.

Both conduction paths cau se current to flow in the same direction through the load resistor, accomplishing full- wave rectification. While one set of diodes is forward biased , the other set is reverse biased and effectively eliminated from the circuit.

3.2.3

Diodes
Diodes are semiconductor devices which might be described as passing

current in one direction only. The latter part of that statement applies equally to vacuum tube diodes. Diodes however are far more versatile devices than that. They are extremely versatile in fact. Diodes can be used as voltage regulators, tuning devices in rf tuned circuits, frequency multiplying devices in rf circuits, mixing devices in rf circuits, switching applications or can be used to make logic decisions in digital circuits. There are also diodes which emit "light", of course these are known as lightemitting-diodes or LED's. As we say diodes are extremely versatile. Schematic symbols for Diodes A few schematic symbols for diodes are:

Figure 3.4 - schematic symbols for diodes

Types of Diodes
The first diode in figure 1 is a semiconductor diode which could be a small signal diode of the 1N914 type commonly used in switching applications, a rectifying diode of the 1N4001 (400V 1A) type or even one of the high power, high current stud mounting types. You will notice the straight bar end has the letter "k", this denotes the "cathode" while the "a" denotes anode. Current can only flow from anode to cathode and not in the reverse direction, hence the "arrow" appearance. This is one very important property of diodes.

13

The second of the diodes is a zener diode which are fairly popular for the voltage regulation of low current power supplies. Whilst it is possible to obtain high current zener diodes, most regulation today is done electronically with the use of dedicated integrated circuits and pass transistors. The next of the diodes in the schematic is a varactor or tuning diode. Depicted here is actually two varactor diodes mounted back to back with the DC control voltage applied at the common junction of the cathodes. These cathodes have the double bar appearance of capacitors to indicate a varactor diode. When a DC control voltage is applied to the common junction of the cathodes, the capacitance exhibited by the diodes (all diodes and transistors exhibit some degree of capacitance) will vary in accordance with the applied voltage. A typical example of a varactor diode would be the Philips BB204G tuning diodes of which there are two enscapsulated in a TO-92 transistor package. At a reverse voltage Vr (cathode to anode) of 20V each diode has a capacitance of about 16 pF and at Vr of 3V this capacitance has altered to about 36 pF. Being low cost diodes, tuning diodes have virtually replaced air variable capacitors in radio applications today. The next diode is the simplest form of vacuum tube or valve. It simply has the old cathode and anode. These terms were passed on to modern solid state devices. Vacuum tube diodes are mainly only of interest to restorers and tube enthusiasts. The last diode depicted is of course a light emitting diode or LED. A led actually doesn't emit as much light as it first appears, a single LED has a plastic lens installed over it and this concentrates the amount of light. Seven LED's can be arranged in a bar fashion called a seven segment LED display and when decoded properly can display the numbers 0 - 9 as well as the letters A to F.

14

Rectifying Diodes The principal early application of diodes was in rectifying 50 / 60 Hz AC mains to raw DC which was later smoothed by choke transformers and / or capacitors. This procedure is still carried out today and a number of rectifying schemes for diodes have evolved, half wave, full wave and bridge rectifiers.

Figure 3.5 - rectifying diodes As examples in these applications the half wave rectifier passes only the positive half of successive cycles to the output filter through D1. During the negative part of the cycle D1 does not conduct and no current flows to the load. In the full wave application it essentially is two half wave rectifiers combined and because the transformer secondary is centre tapped, D1 conducts on the positive half of the cycle while D2 conducts on the negative part of the cycle. Both add together. This is more efficient. The full wave bridge rectifier operates essentially the same as the full wave rectifier but does not require a centre tapped transformer. A further application of rectifying diodes is in the conversion or detection of Rf modulated signals to audio frequencies. Typical examples are AM modulated signals being detected and early detection schemes for FM also used diodes for detecting modulation.

15

Voltage Regulating Diodes For relatively light current loads zener diodes are a cheap solution to voltage regulation. Zener diodes work on the principle of essentially a constant voltage drop at a predetermined voltage (determined during manufacture). An example is a Philips BZX79C12 type with a regulation range between 11.4V and 12.7V but typically 12V and a total power dissipation of 500 mW in a DO-35 package. The dissipation can be extended by using a series pass transistor. Notice in figure 3 there is a resistor to minimize current drawn but mainly as an aid to dropping the supply voltage and reducing the burden on the zener diodes.

Fig 3.6 - zener voltage regulation diodes In the second schematic of figure 3 we have three zener diodes in series providing voltages of 5V, 10V, 12V, 22V and 27V all from a 36V supply. This configuration is not necessarily recommended especially when the current being drawn is seriously mismatched between voltages. Varactor or Tuning Diodes These types of diodes work on the principle that all diodes exhibit some capacitance. Indeed the zener diode BZX79C12 quoted above has, according to the data book, a capacitance of 65-85 pF at 0V and measured at 1 Mhz.

16

For AM Radio band applications a specific diode has been devised. The Philips BB212 in a TO-92 case is one such type. Each of the diodes has a capacitance of 500 - 620 pF at a reverse bias of 0.5V and <22 pF at 8V. This diode's capacitance ratio is quoted at 22.5:1 which could not be achieved easily if at all with an air variable capacitor. This type of diode is depicted in figure 1 above. Several obvious advantages come immediately to mind, a small transistor type package, very low cost, ease of construction on a circuit board, can be mounted away from heat generating devices, frequency determining circuitry entirely dependent upon resistor values and ratios, DC voltage control can be either from frequency synthesiser circuits or perhaps a multi-turn potentiometer. Such a potentiometer aids band spreading and fine tuning if two potentiometers are used. The only real limitation is your imagination and the calculations involved. Diodes as frequency multipliers Just one more example of the versatility of diodes is the frequency doubling circuit depicted in Figure 4. Now if that looks a lot like the full wave rectifier from figure 2 above you would be correct. That is why the ripple frequency for 50 / 60 Hz always comes out at 100 / 120 Hz.

Fig 3.7 - diodes as frequency multipliers

17

Here the input is a wide band transformer and the signal passes to a full wave rectifier comprising two 1N914 diodes. The DC component caused by the rectification passes to ground through RFC which of course presents a high impedance to the rf portion of the signal but essentially a short circuit for DC. The original signal should be down about 40 dB and with this type of circuit there would be a loss of somewhere around 7.5 dB so the 2 X signal would require further amplification to restore that loss. Diodes as mixers With some subtle re-arrangement to figure 4 we can get the circuit to function as a two diode frequency mixer. Note that there are other diode arrangements as well in this application. See mixers.

Figure 3.8 - diodes as frequency mixers The diodes here act as switches and it can be mathematically shown that only the sum and difference signals will result. For example, if F1 was 5 Mhz and F2 was 3 Mhz then the sum and difference signals from the diodes would be 8 Mhz and 2 Mhz. None of the original signals appear at the output and this is a most important property of using diodes as mixers. It should be noted that although 1N914 diodes are depicted you would normally use hot carrier diodes in any serious application and the diodes need to be well matched.
18

Applications of switching Diodes Similar types of diodes have been developed specifically for band switching purposes. Although a typical 1N914 type switching diode can be used for such purposes it is preferable to use diodes which have been optimised for such purposes because the Rd on is much lower. This means the diode resistance Rd can have a serious affect on rf circuits in particular the "Q" of a tuned circuit. One example of a low Rd device is the Philips BA482 diode used for band switching in television tuners. It has a typical Rd of 0.4 ohms at a forward current of 10 mA. In figure 5 we have one application where switching diodes operate. All diodes serve to switch in or out capacitors in the diagram which is presented here just to illustrate one single application of switching diodes, many, many more applications exist. Again the limit is your imagination.

Figure 3.9 - applications of switching diodes The switching diodes in figure 4 switch in or out successively higher values of capacitors as each control select line is "grounded". The voltage from the +5V feed line proceeds through the diode at DC thus opening the diode and making it appear "transparent" for rf purposes. The capacitor with the value attached is then "switched" into circuit. Other components marked RFC and Cbp

19

are chokes and bypass capacitors for "clean" switching. The bypass capacitors and choke values would be determined by the frequency of operation. We could just have easily have switched inductors instead of capacitors. Note why Rd is quite important on overall circuit performance. If we were using inductors the diode resistance Rd would have a significant affect on inductor "Q" which in turn would affect filter performance, if it was in fact an LC filter application. Switching Diodes in Logic Circuits There are a whole range of digital building blocks available and just by way of one illustration of using diodes we have presented the 74HC4040 twelve stage binary ripple counter (there are others with varying number of stages). In the schematic of figure 7 we have this counter which divides by successive division of two for twelve stages. Initially because there is no voltage drop across the resistor a high appears on all anodes as well as on pin 4 the master reset causing the counter to reset forcing all outputs low and in turn a voltage drop across each diode and across the resistor and a low on reset. Progressively each of the outputs change from low to high for a certain period of time and without unduly complicating matters when all outputs as selected by our diode combination (in this particular case 1 + 2 + 32 + 64 = 99) are simultaneously high the voltage drop across the resistor will cease and cause pin 11 (reset which was formerly low) to go high and reset all the internal ripple counters.

20

Fig 3.10 - applications of switching diodes in digital logic circuits At the same time pin 4 changes state also with reset. It can been shown this happens once every 99 periods. Simply by placing diodes on the right outputs we can select to divide by any number up to 4095 using this particular counter. 3.2.4 Capacitors

A capacitor is an electrical device that can store energy in the electric field between a pair of closely spaced conductors (called 'plates'). When voltage is applied to the capacitor, electric charges of equal magnitude, but opposite polarity, build up on each plate. Capacitors are used in electrical circuits as energy-storage devices. They can also be used to differentiate between high-frequency and low-frequency signals and this makes them useful in electronic filters. Capacitors are occasionally referred to as condensers. The capacitor's capacitance (C) is a measure of the amount of charge (Q) stored on each plate for a given potential difference or voltage (V) which appears between the plates:

21

C = Q/V In SI units, a capacitor has a capacitance of one farad when one coulomb of charge causes a potential difference of one volt across the plates. Since the farad is a very large unit, values of capacitors are usually expressed in microfarads (F), nanofarads (nF) or picofarads (pF). The capacitance is proportional to the surface area of the conducting plate and inversely proportional to the distance between the plates. It is also proportional to the permittivity of the dielectric (that is, non-conducting) substance that separates the plates. Stored energy As opposite charges accumulate on the plates of a capacitor due to the separation of charge, a voltage develops across the capacitor owing to the electric field of these charges. Ever-increasing work must be done against this ever-increasing electric field as more charge is separated. The energy (measured in joules, in SI) stored in a capacitor is equal to the amount of work required to establish the voltage across the capacitor, and therefore the electric field. The energy stored is given by: E stored =1/2cv2 = 1/2(Q2/C) = 1/2VQ where V is the voltage across the capacitor. The maximum energy that can be (safely) stored in a particular capacitor is limited by the maximum electric field that the dielectric can withstand before it breaks down. Therefore, all capacitors made with the same dielectric have about the same maximum energy density (joules of energy per cubic meter).

22

Circuits with DC sources Electrons cannot easily pass directly across the dielectric from one plate of the capacitor to the other as the dielectric is carefully chosen so that it is a good insulator. When there is a current through a capacitor, electrons accumulate on one plate and electrons are removed from the other plate. This process is commonly called 'charging' the capacitor -- even though the capacitor is at all times electrically neutral. In fact, the current through the capacitor results in the separation of electric charge, rather than the accumulation of electric charge. This separation of charge causes an electric field to develop between the plates of the capacitor giving rise to voltage across the plates. This voltage V is directly proportional to the amount of charge separated Q. Since the current I through the capacitor is the rate at which charge Q is forced through the capacitor (dQ/dt), this can be expressed mathematically as: I = dQ2/dT = C dV/dt For circuits with a constant (DC) voltage source, the voltage across the capacitor cannot exceed the voltage of the source. (Unless the circuit includes a switch and an inductor, as in SMPS, or a switch and some diodes, as in a charge pump). Thus, an equilibrium is reached where the voltage across the capacitor is constant and the current through the capacitor is zero. For this reason, it is commonly said that capacitors block DC current. Circuits with AC sources The capacitor current due to an AC voltage or current source reverses direction periodically. That is, the AC current alternately charges the plates in one direction and then the other. With the exception of the instant that the current changes direction, the capacitor current is non-zero at all times during a cycle. For this reason, it is commonly said that capacitors 'pass' AC current. However, at no time do electrons actually cross between the plates, unless the dielectric
23

breaks down or becomes excessively 'leaky'. In this case it would probably overheat, malfunction, burn out, or even fail catastrophically possibly leading to an explosion. Since the voltage across a capacitor is the integral of the current, as shown above, with sine waves in AC or signal circuits this results in a phase difference of 90 degrees, the current leading the voltage phase angle. It can be shown that the AC voltage across the capacitor is in quadrature with the AC current through the capacitor. That is, the voltage and current are 'out-of-phase' by a quarter cycle. The amplitude of the voltage depends on the amplitude of the current divided by the product of the frequency of the current with the capacitance, C. Capacitor networks Series or parallel arrangements Capacitors in a parallel configuration each have the same potential difference (voltage). Their total capacitance (Ceq) is given by:

Ceq = C1 + C2 + ..+ Cn The reason for putting capacitors in parallel is to increase the total amount of charge stored. In other words, increasing the capacitance also increases the amount of energy that can be stored. Its expression is: Estored = 1/2CV2

24

The current through capacitors in series stays the same, but the voltage across each capacitor can be different. The sum of the potential differences (voltage) is equal to the total voltage. Their total capacitance is given by:

In parallel the effective area of the combined capacitor has increased, increasing the overall capacitance. While in series, the distance between the plates has effectively been increased, reducing the overall capacitance. In practice capacitors will be placed in series as a means of economically obtaining very high voltage capacitors, for example for smoothing ripples in a high voltage power supply. Three "600 volt maximum" capacitors in series, will increase their overall working voltage to 1800 volts. This is of course offset by the capacitance obtained being only one third of the value of the capacitors used. This can be countered by connecting 3 of these series set-ups in parallel, resulting in a 3x3 matrix of capacitors with the same overall capacitance as an individual capacitor but operable under three times the voltage. In this application, a large resistor would be connected across each capacitor to ensure that the total voltage is divided equally across each capacitor and also to discharge the capacitors for safety when the equipment is not in use. Another application is for use of polarized capacitors in alternating current circuits; the capacitors are connected in series, in reverse polarity, so that at any given time one of the capacitors is not conducting.

3.2.5

Voltage Regulator A Voltage Regu lator (also called a "regulator") has only

three legs and appears to be a comparatively simple device but it is actu ally a very complex integrated circuit. A regulator converts varying input voltage and produces a constant "regulated" output voltage. Voltage regulators are available in a variety of outputs, typically 5 volts, 9 volts and 12 volts. The last two digits in the name indicate the outpu t voltage. The "LM78XX" series of voltage regulators are designed for positive input. Table 1: Voltage regulators and their voltages Name LM7805 LM7809 LM7812 LM7905 LM7909 LM7912 Voltage + 5 volts + 9 volts + 12 volts - 5 volts - 9 volts - 12 volts

Figs 3.11: Block diagram of internal configuration of LM 7805 Voltage regulator

Fig 3. 12: Circu it symbol of a Voltage Regulator

Fig 3. 13: Physical appearance of a 5V Voltage Regu lator Voltage regu lators are very robust. They can withstand overcurrent draw due to short circuits and also over- heating. In both

27

cases the regu lator will shut down before damage occurs. The only way to destroy a regu lator is to apply reverse voltage to its input. Reverse polarity destroys the regulator almost instantly. To avoid this possibility, a diode is connected across the power supply. This is especially important when using nine volt battery supplies as it is common to 'test' the battery by connecting it one way and then the other. Even this short 'test' could destroy the regulator if a protection diode is not used. As a general rule the input voltage should be limited to 2 to 3 volts above the outpu t voltage. The LM78XX series can handle up to 30 volts input, bu t the power difference between the input voltage/cu rrent ratio and output voltage/current ratio appears as heat. If the inpu t voltage is unnecessarily high the regulator will get very hot. Unless sufficient heat- sinking is provided the regulator will shu t down. The 7805 s has a quiescent current of 5mA and 78L05 s qu iescent current is 3mA. It regulates with 2 volts dropout from unregu lated inpu t to regu lated output. 3.2.6 Light Emitti ng Di ode Light emi tti ng di odes , commonly called LEDs are real unsu ng heroes in the electronics world. They do dozens of different jobs and are found in all kinds of devices. Among other things, they form the numbers on digital clocks , transmit information from remote controls , light up watches and tell you when you r appliances are turned on. Collected together, they can

28

form images on a jumbo television screen or illuminate a traffic light . Basically, LEDs are just tiny light bulbs that fit easily into an electrical circuit. But unlike ordinary incandescent bulbs , they don't have a filament that will burn out, and they don't get especially hot. They are illuminated solely by the movement of electrons in a semicondu ctor material, and they last just as long as a standard transistor. Many circu its use a LED as a visual indicator of some sort even if only as an indicator of power supply being turned on. Most LED s operate at 1.7V although this is not always the case and it is wise to check. The dropping resistor is simply the net of supply voltage minu s the 1.7V led voltage then divided by the led brightness current expressed as "amps" (ohms law). Note the orientation of both cathode and anode with respect to the ground end and the supply end. Usually with a led the longer lead is the anode

3.2.7

Resistors

Resistance is the property of a component which restricts the flow of electric current. Energy is used up as the voltage across the component drives the current through it and this energy appears as heat in the component. Resistance is measured in ohms, the symbol for ohm is an omega 1 1 k = 1000 1 M = 1000000 . .

is quite small for electronics so resistances are often given in k and M .

Resistors used in electronics can have resistances as low as 0.1 or as high as 10 M .

Resistors connected in Series

Fig 3.14: Resistors connected in Series

When resistors are connected in series their combined resistance is equal to the individual resistances added together. For example if resistors R1 and R2 are connected in series their combined resistance, R, is given by: Combined resistance in series: R = R1 + R2 be extended for more resistors: R = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4 + ... resistances. This can Note that the

combined resistance in series will always be greater than any of the individual

Resistors connected in Parallel

When resistors are connected in parallel their combined resistance is less than any of the individual resistances. There is a special equation for the combined resistance of two resistors R1 and R2:

30

For more than two resistors connected in parallel a more difficult equation must be used. This adds up the reciprocal ("one over") of each resistance to give the reciprocal of the combined resistance, R: The simpler equation for two resistors in parallel is much easier to use! Note that the combined resistance in parallel will always be less than any of the individual resistances.

Resistor values - the resistor colour code

values

Each color represents a number as shown in the table. Most resistors have 4 bands:

The first band gives the first digit. The second band gives the second digit. The third band indicates the number of zeros. The fourth band is used to shows the tolerance (precision) of the resistor,

this may be ignored for almost all circuits but further details are given below.

31

Fig 3.15: Resistor color codes This resistor has red (2), violet (7), yellow (4 zeros) and gold bands. So its value is 270000 = 270 k . On circuit diagrams the is usually omitted and the value is written 270K.

Small value resistors (less than 10 ohm)

The standard colour code cannot show values of less than 10 . To show these small values two special colours are used for the third band: gold which means 0.1 and silver which means 0.01. The first and second bands represent the digits as normal. For example: red, violet, gold bands represent 27 0.1 = 2.7

blue, green, silver bands represent 56 0.01 = 0.56

Tolerance of resistors (fourth band of colour code)

The tolerance of a resistor is shown by the fourth band of the colour code. Tolerance is the precision of the resistor and it is given as a percentage. For example a 390 resistor with a tolerance of 10% will have a value within 10% of 390 , between 390 - 39 = 351 and 390 + 39 = 429 (39 is 10% of 390). A special colour code gold is used for red the fourth band brown tolerance: 1%.

If no fourth band is shown the tolerance is 20%. Tolerance may be ignored for almost all circuits because precise resistor values are rarely required.

3.2.8 MICROCONTROLLER A microcontroller (or MCU) is a computer-on-a-chip used to control electronic devices. It is a type of microprocessor emphasizing self-sufficiency and cost-effectiveness, in contrast to a general-purpose microprocessor (the kind used in a PC). A typical microcontroller contains all the memory and interfaces needed for a simple application, whereas a general purpose microprocessor requires additional chips to provide these functions. A microcontroller is a single integrated circuit with the following key features:

central processing unit - ranging from small and simple 8-bit processors to input/output interfaces such as serial ports peripherals such as timers RAM for data storage ROM, EEPROM or Flash memory for program storage clock generator - often an oscillator for a quartz timing crystal, resonator or

sophisticated 32- or 64-bit processors

RC circuit This integration drastically reduces the number of chips and the amount of wiring and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) space that would be needed to produce equivalent systems using separate chips. The Atmel AT89 series is an Intel 8051-compatible family of 8 bit microcontrollers (Cs) manufactured by the Atmel Corporation. Based on the Intel 8051 core, the AT89 series remains very popular as general purpose microcontrollers, due to their industry standard instruction set, and low unit cost.

33

This allows a great amount of legacy code to reused without modification in new applications. 3.2.9 CRYSTAL OSCILLATORS A crystal oscillator is an electronic circuit that uses the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal of piezoelectric material to create an electrical signal with a very precise frequency. This frequency is commonly used to keep track of time (as in quartz wristwatches), to provide a stable clock signal for digital integrated circuits, and to stabilize frequencies for radio transmitters. Using an amplifier and feedback, it is an especially accurate form of an electronic oscillator. The crystal used therein is sometimes called a "timing crystal". On schematic diagrams a crystal is sometimes labeled with the abbreviation XTAL Crystals and frequency

Fig 3.16 :Schematic symbol and equivalent circuit for a quartz crystal in an oscillator The crystal oscillator circuit sustains oscillation by taking a voltage signal from the quartz resonator, amplifying it, and feeding it back to the resonator. The rate of expansion and contraction of the quartz is the resonant frequency, and is determined by the cut and size of the crystal.

34

A regular timing crystal contains two electrically conductive plates, with a slice or tuning fork of quartz crystal sandwiched between them. During startup, the circuit around the crystal applies a random noise AC signal to it, and purely by chance, a tiny fraction of the noise will be at the resonant frequency of the crystal. The crystal will therefore start oscillating in synchrony with that signal. As the oscillator amplifies the signals coming out of the crystal, the crystal's frequency will become stronger, eventually dominating the output of the oscillator. Natural resistance in the circuit and in the quartz crystal filter out all the unwanted frequencies. One of the most important traits of quartz crystal oscillators is that they can exhibit very low phase noise. In other words, the signal they produce is a pure tone. This makes them particularly useful in telecommunications where stable signals are needed, and in scientific equipment where very precise time references are needed. The output frequency of a quartz oscillator is either the fundamental resonance or a multiple of the resonance, called an overtone frequency. A typical Q for a quartz oscillator ranges from 104 to 106. The maximum Q for a high stability quartz oscillator can be estimated as Q = 1.6 107/f, where f is the resonance frequency in MHz. Environmental changes of temperature, humidity, pressure, and vibration can change the resonant frequency of a quartz crystal, but there are several designs that reduce these environmental effects. These include the TCXO, MCXO, and OCXO (defined below). These designs (particularly the OCXO) often produce devices with excellent short-term stability. The limitations in short-term stability are due mainly to noise from electronic components in the oscillator circuits. Long term stability is limited by aging of the crystal.

35

Due to aging and environmental factors such as temperature and vibration, it is hard to keep even the best quartz oscillators within one part in 1010 of their nominal frequency without constant adjustment. For this reason, atomic oscillators are used for applications that require better long-term stability and accuracy. Although crystals can be fabricated for any desired resonant frequency, within technological limits, in actual practice today engineers design crystal oscillator circuits around relatively few standard frequencies, such as 10 MHz, 20 MHz and 40 MHz. Using frequency dividers, frequency multipliers and phase locked loop circuits, it is possible to synthesize any desired frequency from the reference frequency. Care must be taken to use only one crystal oscillator source when designing circuits to avoid subtle failure modes of meta stability in electronics. If this is not possible, the number of distinct crystal oscillators, PLLs, and their associated clock domains should be rigorously minimized, through techniques such as using a subdivision of an existing clock instead of a new crystal source. Each new distinct crystal source needs to be rigorously justified, since each one introduces new, difficult to debug probabilistic failure modes, due to multiple crystal interactions, into equipment.

3.2.10

TRANSISTOR

Transistors can be regarded as a type of switch, as can many electronic components. They are used in a variety of circuits and you will find that it is rare that a circuit built in a school Technology Department does not contain at least one transistor. They are central to electronics and there are two main types; NPN and PNP. Most circuits(e.g. this project design) tend to use NPN. There are

36

hundreds of transistors which work at different voltages but all of them fall into these two categories.

Types of transistor
There are two types of standard transistors, NPN and PNP, with different circuit symbols. The letters refer to the layers of semiconductor material used to make the transistor. Most transistors used today are NPN because this is the easiest type to make from silicon. This page is mostly about NPN transistors.

Fig 3.17: Transistor circuit symbols The leads are labeled base (B), collector (C) and emitter (E). These terms refer to the internal operation of a transistor but they are not much help in understanding how a transistor is used, so just treat them as labels! A Darlington pair is two transistors connected together to give a very high current gain. In addition to standard (bipolar junction) transistors, there are field-effect transistors which are usually referred to as FETs. They have different circuit symbols and properties.

Transistor currents
The diagram shows the two current paths through a transistor. The small base current controls the larger collector current. When the switch is closed a

37

small current flows into the base (B) of the transistor. It is just enough to make LED B glow dimly. The transistor amplifies this small current to allow a larger current to flow through from its collector (C) to its emitter (E). This collector current is large enough brightly. to make LED C light

Fig 3.18 : Transistor Currents When the switch is open no base current flows, so the transistor switches off the collector current. Both LEDs are off. A transistor amplifies current and can be used as a switch. This arrangement where the emitter (E) is in the controlling circuit (base current) and in the controlled circuit (collector current) is called common emitter mode. It is the most widely used arrangement for transistors.

Functional model of an NPN transistor

38

Fig 3.19: Functional Model of a transistor

The operation of a transistor is difficult to explain and understand in terms of its internal structure. It is more helpful to use this functional model:

The base-emitter junction behaves like a diode. A base current IB flows only when the voltage VBE across the base-emitter The small base current IB controls the large collector current Ic. Ic = hFE IB (unless the transistor is full on and saturated)

junction is 0.7V or more.

hFE is the current gain (strictly the DC current gain), a typical value for hFE is 100 (it has no units because it is a ratio)
o o o

The collector-emitter resistance RCE is controlled by the base current IB: IB = 0 RCE = infinity transistor off IB small RCE reduced transistor partly on IB increased RCE = 0 transistor full on ('saturated')

Additional notes:

A resistor is often needed in series with the base connection to limit the Transistors have a maximum collector current Ic rating. The current gain hFE can vary widely, even for transistors of the same type! A transistor that is full on (with RCE = 0) is said to be 'saturated'. When a transistor is saturated the collector-emitter voltage VCE is reduced

base current IB and prevent the transistor being damaged.

to almost 0V.

39

When a transistor is saturated the collector current Ic is determined by the

supply voltage and the external resistance in the collector circuit, not by the transistor's current gain. As a result the ratio Ic/IB for a saturated transistor is less than the current gain hFE.

The emitter current IE = Ic + IB, but Ic is much larger than IB, so roughly IE

= Ic.

The Transistor as a Switch

Because a transistor's collector current is proportionally limited by its base current, it can be used as a sort of current-controlled switch. A relatively small flow of electrons sent through the base of the transistor has the ability to exert control over a much larger flow of electrons through the collector. Suppose we had a lamp that we wanted to turn on and off by means of a switch. Such a circuit would be extremely simple:

Fig 3.20: Transistor as switch For the sake of illustration, let's insert a transistor in place of the switch to show how it can control the flow of electrons through the lamp. The controlled current through a transistor must go between collector and emitter. Since it's the current through the lamp that we want to control, we must position the collector and emitter of our transistor where the two contacts of the switch are now. We must also make sure that the lamp's current will move against the direction of the emitter arrow symbol to ensure that the transistor's junction bias will be correct:

40

Fig 3.21 In this example I happened to choose an NPN transistor. A PNP transistor could also have been chosen for the job, and its application would look like this:

Fig 3.22 The choice between NPN and PNP is really arbitrary. All that matters is that the proper current directions are maintained for the sake of correct junction biasing (electron flow going against the transistor symbol's arrow). Going back to the NPN transistor as in former circuit above, we are faced with the need to add something more so that we can have base current. Without a connection to the base wire of the transistor, base current will be zero, and the transistor cannot turn on, resulting in a lamp that is always off. Remember that for an NPN transistor, base current must consist of electrons flowing from emitter to base (against the emitter arrow symbol, just like the lamp current). Perhaps the simplest thing to do would be to connect a switch between the base and collector wires of the transistor like this:

Fig 3.23
41

If the switch is open, the base wire of the transistor will be left "floating" (not connected to anything) and there will be no current through it. In this state, the transistor is said to be cutoff. If the switch is closed, however, electrons will be able to flow from the emitter through to the base of the transistor, through the switch and up to the left side of the lamp, back to the positive side of the battery. This base current will enable a much larger flow of electrons from the emitter through to the collector, thus lighting up the lamp. In this state of maximum circuit current, the transistor is said to be saturated.

Fig 3.24 Of course, it may seem pointless to use a transistor in this capacity to control the lamp. After all, we're still using a switch in the circuit, aren't we? If we're still using a switch to control the lamp -- if only indirectly -- then what's the point of having a transistor to control the current? Why not just go back to our original circuit and use the switch directly to control the lamp current? There are a couple of points to be made here, actually. First is the fact that when used in this manner, the switch contacts need only handle what little base current is necessary to turn the transistor on, while the transistor itself handles the majority of the lamp's current. This may be an important advantage if the switch has a low current rating: a small switch may be used to control a relatively highcurrent load. Perhaps more importantly, though, is the fact that the currentcontrolling behavior of the transistor enables us to use something completely different to turn the lamp on or off. Consider this example, where a solar cell is used to control the transistor, which in turn controls the lamp:

42

Fig 3.25 Or, we could use a thermocouple to provide the necessary base current to turn the transistor on:

Fig 3.26 Even a microphone of sufficient voltage and current output could be used to turn the transistor on, provided its output is rectified from AC to DC so that the emitter-base PN junction within the transistor will always be forward-biased:

Fig 3.27 The point should be quite apparent by now: any sufficient source of DC current may be used to turn the transistor on, and that source of current need only be a fraction of the amount of current needed to energize the lamp. Here we see
43

the transistor functioning not only as a switch, but as a true amplifier: using a relatively low-power signal to control a relatively large amount of power. Please note that the actual power for lighting up the lamp comes from the battery to the right of the schematic. It is not as though the small signal current from the solar cell, thermocouple, or microphone is being magically transformed into a greater amount of power. Rather, those small power sources are simply controlling the battery's power to light up the lamp.

3.2.11

RELAYS

Fig 3.28: Relay

A relay is an electrically operated switch. Current flowing through the coil of the relay creates a magnetic field which attracts a lever and changes the switch contacts. The coil current can be on or off so relays have two switch positions and they are double throw (changeover) switches. Relays allow one circuit to switch a second circuit which can be completely separate from the first. For example a low voltage battery circuit can use a relay to switch a 230V AC mains circuit. There is no electrical connection inside the relay between the two circuits; the link is magnetic and mechanical. The coil of a relay passes a relatively large current, typically 30mA for a 12V relay, but it can be as much as 100mA for relays designed to operate from lower voltages. Most ICs (chips) cannot provide this current and a transistor is

44

usually used to amplify the small IC current to the larger value required for the relay coil. The maximum output current for the popular 555 timer IC is 200mA so these devices can supply relay coils directly without amplification. Relays are usually SPDT or DPDT but they can have many more sets of switch contacts, for example relays with 4 sets of changeover contacts are readily available. For further information about switch contacts and the terms used to describe them please see the page on switches. Most relays are designed for PCB mounting but you can solder wires directly to the pins providing you take care to avoid melting the plastic case of the relay. The supplier's catalogue should show you the relay's connections. The coil will be obvious and it may be connected either way round. Relay coils produce brief high voltage 'spikes' when they are switched off and this can destroy transistors and ICs in the circuit. To prevent damage you must connect a protection diode across the relay coil. The animated picture shows a working relay with its coil and switch contacts. You can see a lever on the left being attracted by magnetism when the coil is switched on. This lever moves the switch contacts. There is one set of contacts (SPDT) in the foreground and another behind them, making the relay DPDT. The relay's switch connections are usually labeled COM, NC and NO:

COM = Common, always connect to this; it is the moving part of the NC = Normally Closed, COM is connected to this when the relay coil is

45

NO = Normally Open, COM is connected to this when the relay coil is on. Connect to COM and NO if you want the switched circuit to be on when Connect to COM and NC if you want the switched circuit to be on when

the relay coil is off. 3.2.12 INFRA RED TRANSMITTERS AND RECIEVERS Infrared (IR) radiation is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength longer than that of visible light, but shorter than that of radio waves. The name means "below red" (from the Latin infra, "below"), red being the color of visible light of longest wavelength. Infrared radiation spans three orders of magnitude and has wavelengths between approximately 750 nm and 1 mm. Infra-red light is just below the red portion of the visible spectrum, and so is invisible to the human eye. Infrared transmitters are the devices that transmit signals through Infrared and these signals are received by Infrared recievers. Infrared recievers are signal sensors which are capable of receiving infrared rays and is able to transform this rays to an intended function.

3.3 SYSTEM DESIGN APPROACH

A domestic remote control alert system is a system that should be designed with a sense of accuracy and priciseness. This should be done so as to ensure that the reqiured result is achieved. Again, the need to achieve a fast and well coordinated remote control alert system resulted in designing a work that uses a microcontroller and relays so that the various loads will be programmed and controlled by their respective relays together with all the other components used.

Bottom-Up
46

It's a long-standing principle of design style that the functional elements of a system should not be too large. If some component of a design grows beyond the stage where it's readily comprehensible, it becomes a mass of complexity which conceals errors as easily as a big city conceals fugitives. Such work will be hard to read, hard to test, and hard to debug. In accordance with this principle, a large program must be divided into pieces, and the larger the program, the more it must be divided. Experienced system designers divide up their design differently. As well as topdown design, they follow a principle which could be called bottom-up design-changing the design to suit the problem. It's worth emphasizing that bottom-up design doesn't mean just building the same circuit in a different order. When you work bottom-up, you usually end up with a different circuit. In typical circuit design, once you abstract out the parts which are merely bookkeeping, what's left is much shorter; the higher you build up the language, the less distance you will have to travel from the top down to it. This brings several advantages: 1. By making the circuit do more of the work, bottom-up design yields design which are smaller and more agile. A smaller circuit doesn't have to be divided into so many components, and fewer components means circuit which are easier to read or modify. Fewer components also means fewer connections between components, and thus less chance for errors there. As industrial designers strive to reduce the number of moving parts in a machine, experienced system designers use bottom-up design to reduce the size and complexity of their circuit.

47

2.

Bottom-up design promotes component re-use. When you design two or more circuits, many of the components you added for the first circuit will also be useful in the succeeding ones. Once you've acquired a large substrate of utilities, designing a new circuit can take only a fraction of the effort it would require if you had to start.

3. 4.

Bottom-up design makes circuits easier to interpret. Because it causes you always to be on the lookout for patterns in your circuit, working bottom-up helps to clarify your ideas about the design of your circuit. If two distant components of a circuit are similar in form, you'll be led to notice the similarity and perhaps to redesign the circuit in a simpler way. 3.4 CHOICE OF DESIGN The benefits of a automated solution was recognized from the start. The reason for making this choice of design is that it is programmable and can easily be modified. This reason, thus, makes it possible to improve on its features.

THE HARDWARE SUBSYSTEMS The design of the essential interfaces and sub sections that makes the 2

sections of the project are treated here. There function and mode of operation, which are not treated in chapter 3, will be presented here. Let start with the power supply design. Basically, it employs a 5V regulated power supply that powers the microcontroller which needs nothing but a 5V and the NPN transistors used. A 12V supply is also used in the design which is meant to power a 12V relay.
4.1.0

Basic Power Supply Design

There are many types of power supply. Most are designed to convert high

voltage AC mains electricity to a suitable low voltage supply for electronics circuits and other devices. A power supply can by broken down into a series of blocks, each of which performs a particular function. For example a 5V regulated supply:

Fig 4.0: Block diagram of power supply Each of the blocks is described in more detail below:
51

Transformer - steps down high voltage AC mains to low voltage AC. Rectifier - converts AC to DC, but the DC output is varying. Smoothing - smooths the DC from varying greatly to a small ripple. Regulator - eliminates ripple by setting DC output to a fixed voltage.

Power supplies made from these blocks are described below with a circuit diagram and a graph of their output:

Transformer only Transformer + Rectifier Transformer + Rectifier + Smoothing Transformer + Rectifier + Smoothing + Regulator

Microcontroller (AT89C51)

Description The AT89C51 is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8-bit microcomputer with 4K bytes of Flash programmable and erasable read only memory (PEROM). The device is manufactured using Atmels high-density nonvolatile memory technology and is compatible with the industry-standard MCS-51 instruction set and pinout. The on-chip Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed in-system or by a conventional nonvolatile memory programmer. By combining a versatile 8-bit CPU with Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel AT89C51 is a powerful microcomputer which provides a highly-flexible and cost-effective solution to many embedded control applications. The AT89C51 provides the following standard features: 4K bytes of Flash, 128 bytes of RAM, 32 I/O lines, two 16-bit timer/counters, a five vector two-level interrupt architecture, a full duplex serial port, on-chip oscillator and clock circuitry. In addition, the AT89C51 is designed with static logic for operation down to zero frequency and supports two software selectable power saving modes. The Idle Mode stops the CPU while allowing the RAM, timer/counters, serial port and interrupt system to continue functioning. The Power-down Mode saves the RAM contents but freezes the oscillator disabling all other chip functions until the next hardware reset. It has the following Features: Compatible with MCS-51 Products

Ground. Port 0 Port 0 is an 8-bit open-drain bi-directional I/O port. As an Output port, each pin can sink eight TTL inputs. When 1s are written to port 0 pins, the pins can be used as high impedance inputs. Port 0 may also be configured to be the multiplexed low order Address/data bus during accesses to external program and data memory. In this mode P0 has internal pull-ups. Port 0 also receives the code bytes during Flash programming, and outputs the code bytes during program verification. External pull-ups are required during program verification. Port 1 Port 1 is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-ups. The Port 1 output buffers can sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 1 pins they are pulled high by the internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 1 pins that are externally being pulled low will source current (IIL) because of the internal pull-ups. Port 1 also receives the low-order address bytes during Flash programming and verification. Port 2 Port 2 is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-ups. The Port 2 output buffers can sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 2 pins they are pulled high by the internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 2 pins that are externally being pulled low will source current (IIL) because of the internal pull-ups. Port 2 emits the high-order address byte during fetches
57

from external program memory and during accesses to external data memory that use 16-bit addresses (MOVX @DPTR). In this application, it uses strong internal pull-ups when emitting 1s. During accesses to external data memory that use 8bit addresses (MOVX @ RI), Port 2 emits the contents of the P2 Special Function Register. Port 2 also receives the high-order address bits and some control signals during Flash programming and verification. Port 3 Port 3 is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pullups. The Port 3 output buffers can sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 3 pins they are pulled high by the internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 3 pins that are externally being pulled low will source current (IIL) because of the pull-ups. Port 3 also serves the functions of various special features of the AT89C51 as listed below: Table 2: Port pins and their alternate functions

Port 3 also receives some control signals for Flash programming and verification.

RST Reset input. A high on this pin for two machine cycles while the oscillator is running resets the device. ALE/PROG Address Latch Enable output pulse for latching the low byte of the address during accesses to external memory. This pin is also the program pulse input (PROG) during Flash programming. In normal operation ALE is emitted at a constant rate of 1/6 the oscillator frequency, and may be used for external timing or clocking purposes. Note, however, that one ALE pulse is skipped during each access to external Data Memory. If desired, ALE operation can be disabled by setting bit 0 of SFR location 8EH. With the bit set, ALE is active only during a MOVX or MOVC instruction. Otherwise, the pin is weakly pulled high. Setting the ALE-disable bit has no effect if the microcontroller is in external execution mode. PSEN Program Store Enable is the read strobe to external program memory. When the AT89C51 is executing code from external program memory, PSEN is activated twice each machine cycle, except that two PSEN activations are skipped during each access to external data memory. EA/VPP External Access Enable. EA must be strapped to GND in order to enable the device to fetch code from external program memory locations starting at 0000H up to FFFFH. Note, however, that if lock bit 1 is programmed, EA will be internally latched on reset. EA should be strapped to VCC for internal program executions. This pin
59

also receives the 12-volt programming enable voltage (VPP) during Flash programming, for parts that require 12-volt VPP. XTAL1 Input to the inverting oscillator amplifier and input to the internal clock operating circuit. XTAL2 Output from the inverting oscillator amplifier. Oscillator Characteristics XTAL1 and XTAL2 are the input and output, respectively, of an inverting amplifier which can be configured for use as an on-chip oscillator, as shown in Figure 1. Either a quartz crystal or ceramic resonator may be used. To drive the device from an external clock source, XTAL2 should be left unconnected while XTAL1 is driven as shown in Figure 2. There are no requirements on the duty cycle of the external clock signal, since the input to the internal clocking circuitry is through a divide-by-two flip-flop, but minimum and maximum voltage high and low time specifications must be observed. Idle Mode In idle mode, the CPU puts itself to sleep while all the on chip peripherals remain active. The mode is invoked by software. The content of the on-chip RAM and all the special functions registers remain unchanged during this mode. The idle mode can be terminated by any enabled interrupt or by a hardware reset. It should be noted that when idle is terminated by a hard ware reset, the device normally resumes program execution, from where it left off, up to two machine cycles before the internal reset algorithm takes control. On-chip hardware inhibits access to internal RAM in this event, but access to the port pins is not inhibited. To eliminate the possibility of an unexpected write to a port pin when Idle is

60

These input buttons form part of the remote control transmitter. When this buttons are depressed, it sends a signal inform of command to the microcontroller on the transmitter circuit. On receiving the command, the microcontroller interprets them and sends out the resulting interpretation to the infrared transmitter which then communicates with the receiver on the receiver circuit. The buttons are interfaced with the microcontroller to Port 1 while the infrared transmitter is interfaced to Pin 0 of Port 0`. The circuit below shows schematic representation of the Input interface.

FIG 4.8: Input Interface Schematic 4.4 THE OUTPUT INTERFACE DESIGN The Output Interface of the system is a control circuit which receives inputs from the remote control transmitter and transfers this control signal received to their respective loads or outputs. The system uses an Infrared receiver sensor through which the transmitted signals are received wirelessly. The signals received by this infrared receiver is sent to the microcontroller which will

perform the processing of the signals according to the commands on the microcontroller control program. The infrared receiver is interfaced to the microcontroller on P1.0 (Port1) The next stage of the process is the transfer of the passed signals by the microcontroller from where the processed signals are sent to the Relay which will perform the control operation of the loads. These signals are transferred out from the microcontroller through P2.0-P2.4 (Pin21-Pin25) to the relays. The relays are powered by an unregulated 12v voltage from the power supply of the transmitter. The schematic diagram is shown below.

CHAPTER FIVE
SYSTEM TESTING, IMPLEMETATION AND EVALUATION 5.1 SYSTEM TESTING Testing is a vital process in the development and realization of any design, be it hardware based, software based or both. The various components and their circuitry has to be tested to ensure that all the components on board are certified okay and in good working condition. The components that did not give the required output specification where isolated and troubleshooted to determine the nature and cause of the component failure through careful analysis, that is examination of the working principles of the component(s). Here also during the testing analysis, modularization and Interface design were also tested. Each module in case of the software were tested to know whether it performs the functions assigned to it and also to know whether each of the module can interact as Required by transferring and returning data in form of a signal. 5.1.0 Test Plan The test plan specifies the steps taken in checking and testing each of the module that constitute the whole system design. The essence of this is to check for the functionality of the system in question for optimal performance. Some of the steps taken are as follows:-

5.1.1 Test Data The functionality of the system depends to some extent on the correctness of the exact signal(s) being produced by different modules. Here the test data includes signal that emanates from each module for performing its intended task.

71

The test data are as follows: The signal that comes out when the sensitive switches are being pressed or activated. The signal that comes out from the power supply unit The signal coming out from the AT89C51 microcontroller module of the transmitter and receiver units to their respective infrared transmitters and nfrared receiver sensors. The signal coming out from the AT89C51 microcontroller module to the relays. The above-mentioned test data was used to test for the functionality of the systems.

5.2

CHOICE OF PROGRAMING LANGUAGE The Programming language used in programming the AT89C51

microcontroller IC is C language. 5.3 EXPECTED TEST RESULTS The design of the microcontroller based domestic remote control for appliances, lighting points and sockets is meant to be a system that is used to control the powering of our domestic appliances, lighting points and sockets in ours homes when a user presses a button on the hand held remote control transmitter. To effectively carry out an intensive test, it is a good practice to run or retest the project as many times as possible to make sure that the desired design specification is met. The results that are expected is for the hand held remote control to be able to send infrared signals which will activate the relays and power our appliances. The expected test results where obtained as the infrared transmitter communicated successfully with the receiver on the receiver section of the remote control system.

72

The signal received was then able to activate the relay and control the attached appliance and lighting points successfully. 5.4 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

The performance of the remote control system proved satisfactory and is working according to expectations.

73

CHAPTER SIX SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION 6.1 SUMMARY For a project to be executed, one has to reason out what the design is and how the design can be carried out and also be able to implement the design in order to achieve the aims and objectives of the project. In the design and implementation of this project domestic remote control for fans, lighting points and sockets, the 89C51 microcontroller is programmed to coordinate the whole function of the design from the input when the button is pressed to the processing and sending of signals to the receiver sensor from where this signals are processed appropriately and transferred to the relay which are connected to outputs inform of our domestic appliances, lighting points, etc. This project is designed so as to be able to control our domestic appliances using a central remote control. 6.2 PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED In the course of the design and implementation of this project, some problems were encountered. They are

Low finance during Implementation. Difficulty when writing programs, debugging and interfacing Component Failures Short Circuitry Inadequate and epileptic power supply. The aforementioned problems were later taken care of during the

design processes and implementation of this project. 6.2 RECOMMENDATION FOR FURTHER IMPROVEMENT This project is a viable one in the sense that it will go a long way in making it more convenient easier for users to easily control their appliances, lighting
74

points and even sockets from a central point in their home using a remote control which has buttons for controlling each appliance connected to the system. Because of its importance as a household need, efforts must be geared towards designing a viable project like this one. I strongly recommend that the department should see this project as a priceless possession and should endeavor to provide financial assistance and more research works relating to this project to support and encourage students embarking on this type of project so as to be used to be used not only in homes but also in offices, schools etc.
6.3 CONCLUSION

In conclusion, this project is a design which should be encouraged and put into large scale manufacturing because of its various advantages.
