1.1 Overview
Introduction
Traditionally the attendance at an establishment is usually done in a book register. It is time consuming. It is very difficult to verify the attendance over long periods. This method is very time consuming and very difficult to verify the attendance over a week or above. Keeping attendance registers is space consuming. Here chances of doing malpractice in marking attendance are high. RFID based attendance system uses RFID tags for each person. A person marks the attendance by swiping the tag near RFID reader module. The attendance is temporarily saved in the EEPROM. At any time the circuit can be connected to a computer and the attendance is moved from EEPROM to a text file in computer. It has following advantages. (1) Simplicity and reliability, (2) Saving attendance in a computer allows easy verification and longer record keeping. It works on radio frequency transmitters and receivers. Each person is given a RF ID card which is having a unique code. When it is swiped on a RF ID card reader, it reads the code and is stored. The attendance is temporarily saved in the EEPROM. At any time the circuit can be connected to a computer and the attendance is moved from EEPROM to a text file in computer. The advantage of this system is simplicity and reliability. Saving attendance in a computer allows easy verification and longer record keeping.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system is an identification system that uses radio waves to retrieve data from a device called a tag or transponder. RFID is an area of automatic identification that has quietly been gaining momentum in recent years and is now being seen as a radical means of enhancing data handling processes, complimentary in many ways to other data capture technologies such bar coding. The object of any RFID system is to carry data in suitable transponders, generally known as tags, and to retrieve data, by machinereadable means, at a suitable time and place to satisfy particular application needs. Data within a tag may provide identification for an item in manufacture, goods in transit, a location, and the identity of a vehicle, an animal or individual.

RFID Based Attendance System project users Radio frequency for developing this application. This system users scanning antenna and a transceiver. An RFID reader/writer contains a scanning antenna and a transceiver. It uses the scanning antenna to send out radio frequency signals in a relative short range. The radio frequency sent out is used to communicate and power tags (also known as transponders) that are within range, which will then transmit the data on the tag back to the reader. The scanning antenna then picks up the information sent out by the tag. The data is then interpreted and decoded by the transceiver. Our RFID based Attendance Monitoring System is a micro controller based compact unit to monitor the employees attendance through proximity acc ess ID cards (RFID - Radio Frequency Identification). This card can be designed to hold all employee details including Name of the Company and Address, Hologram, Employee name, ID number, Photo Images, position, Department, Qualification, Date Of Joining, and more. Attendance monitoring is very simple. This System assigns a unique card number for each employee. An employee places the RFID card within 5cm distance from the RFID Reader. The Interface software is responsible for attendance record data processing and it produces attendance reports in required format. Attendance processing (Interface) software can also be integrated with the payroll software for salary calculation and employee tracking. Manual entry is also possible.

The block diagram is as shown above. Here the Microcontroller fetches the data from the RFID Module and matches each bit from the valid bit in the ROM. And test the Student ID is valid for the attendance or not.
1.3 Description
1. RFID Based Attendance system 2. As student come along the RFID tag and just move over the RFID Module, RFID Module gets the 12 bit code from the RFID Tag 3. Then RFID Module transfer that detected 12 bit code to Microcontroller. 4. Microcontroller fetches the data from the RFID Module and matches each bit from the valid bit in the ROM. 5. If the Students RFID Tag code is match with the same in the Microcontroller than it add in the count and wait for the new tag. 6. If the code doesnt match with the tag code in the ROM then it will display Invalid tag 7. Thus that invalid user tag will not count 8. Now when the Concerned Faculty scans his Tag then the Microcontroller displays the total attendance of his class.

The following are some of the capabilities of 8051 microcontroller. Internal ROM and RAM I/O ports with programmable pins Timers and counters Serial data communication The 8051 architecture consists of these specific features: 16 bit PC &data pointer (DPTR) 8 bit program status word (PSW) 8 bit stack pointer (SP) Internal ROM 4k Internal RAM of 128 bytes. 4 register banks, each containing 8 registers 80 bits of general purpose data memory 32 input/output pins arranged as four 8 bit Ports: P0-P3 Two 16 bit timer/counters: T0-T1 Two external and three internal interrupt sources
RFID scanners used in veterinarians offices are frequently equipped with triggers and power up the only when the trigger is pulled. Like the tag themselves, RFID readers come in many size. The largest readers might consist of a desktop personal computer with a special card through shielded cable. Such A reader would typically have a network connection as well so that it could report tags that it reads to other computers. The smallest readers are the size of a postage stamp and are designed to be embedded in mobile telephones This module is designed to directly connect RFID reader via computer USB port. It gives USB/UART/Wiegand26 output. It contains a RFID Reader Module of 125KHz onboard. Features USB Cable and 1X RFID Clamshell TAG included in Package Connects to computer via virtual serial port created through USB UART and Wiegand26 output Buzzer and LED to indicate detection Protection for multiple detection Wiegand26 selection jumper (1-2 Serial, 2-3 Wiegand26)4

Troubleshooting
- First face problem to retrieve code from RFID module o As here the content of RFID Tag is important criteria because as it has the unique code in it so firstly we face the code retrieval from the RFID module of Tag . - The solution of the above problem got when we saw that we use the different crystal oscillator as per the baud rate we assign in the code - The second problem occur during the LCD initialization this problem is being occurred due to not using the pull resister while using the port0 of microcontroller .
