WIRELESS REMOTE ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM FOR INDUSTRIAL
AUTOMATION is a system that collects data from various sensors at a
factory, plant or in other remote locations and then manages and controls the
data.

This system is broadly used to portray control and management solutions in a

wide range of industries. Some of the industries where such system is used
are water management Systems, Environmental Control systems, Electric
Power and Manufacturing systems, Printing industry.

This is an all time favourite project for industrial application. Data acquisition
means to acquire values of physical parameters coming from various remote
locations or sensors; Monitoring means to continuously keep on watching the
acquired data and controlling means to control the various equipments si as to
maintain the value of the particular physical parameters within the confined
limits.

However, for the purpose of this project, we are concentrating on the printing
industry.

3.INTRODUCTION

3
All industrial applications require collection of data in development,
production, quality control management, process control etc. The data
collected is used to make decisions and control the operation by the computer
without any human interface as per requirements, i.e., automation helps to
reduce human errors evolved in process applications. Because of automation
decision is achieved resulting into perfection of received data.

Data acquisition is collecting data from information that describes the given
situation. Data collection is important for any industrial application. The
collected data may be processed and delayed at the site itself so that
decisions may be made.

Sometimes data acquisition may not be possible by traditional methods, as

the site may not be easily accessible due to geographical reasons or the site
may be hazardous to human life. Thus remote collection of data and the
control of the source is of prime importance in such a situation; this can be
done either using wired or wireless mode of communication.

3.1.The working flow

4
The complete system is divided into 2 parts - Hardware and Software. The
hardware unit is further split into three units:

1. Transmitter

2. Receiver

3. Controller

4. Sensors

The transmitter unit is consisting of microcontroller, analog to digital

converter (ADC), Clock, Bluetooth Transmitter, power supply, antenna, etc.

The Transmitter will acquire values of physical parameters and will perform
digital conversion of them for further processing. This digital data is then
radiated using RF with the help of serial Transmission protocol by the
microcontroller.

Thus it is not necessary to keep the board close to PC; rather the
transmitting unit is to can be placed at a far place within the range of
Bluetooth link.

The job of receiver unit is to receive those incoming values and transfer
them onto the PC with the help of serial communication Virtual COM port on
USB Dongle.

The job of the controlling unit is to control the received parameters for
optimum working of device. It helps the device to operate within the specified
range.

The software will display the data (Voltage values) of all channels in real
time and will store them into database for future reference. Then graphical
and many more analysis on the stored data can be performed later on
interactively.

3.2The Proposed System

The above proposed system will be divided into the following sub modules or
sections

Fig3.1

 4. GENERAL IDEA OF IMPLEMENTATION

Fig4.1

Above shown would be the PC end interface for the wireless module.

5. BLOCK DIAGRAM
7
 Fig5.1

Details of Block diagram:

The following are the brief explanations of the working principle of the various
major blocks used in the system.

• Power Supply
this unit will supply the various voltage requirements of each unit. This
will consists of transformer, rectifier & regulator. It will convert 230 V
AC into desired 5V/12V DC.

• Microcontroller
This unit is the heart of the complete system. It is actually responsible

8
 for all the process being executed. It will monitor and control all the
peripheral devices or components connected in the system. In short we
can say that the complete intelligence of the system resides in the
software code embedded in the microcontroller.
This requires +5V DC for its proper operation.

• LCD16X2
It is called Liquid Crystal display. We are going to use 16x2 character
LCD. This will be connected to microcontroller, the job of LCD will be to
display all the system generated messages coming from the controller.
LCD will provide interactive user interface.
This unit requires +5V DC for its operation.

• ADC8-bit
This unit is one of the most important unit in the embedded system as
microcontroller uses this to understand various analog parameter
incoming from transducers. He job of this section is to convert the
analog input signals into its equivalent digital value. Here we are using
8-bit Data lines, 3-bit Address lines and some control lines. Also it
requires clock pulses for its internal operation which will be given by
555 timer section.
This unit requires +5V DC for its operation.

• 555Timer
The 555monolithic timing circuit is a highly stable controller capable of
creating time delays or oscillations, accurately. Here we are using it in
Astable Multivibrator mode for generating clock pulses. The frequency
depends upon the external register connected to the IC.
This unit requires +5V DC.

9
• RelayDriver
As microcontroller cannot supply more current to driver high current
sinking device; we will use relay driver circuit to drive the relays. We
will use ULN2803 IC for this purpose. It has in built 8 Darlington Pairs
to drive 8 channels each of 300mA. Also it can bear upto 50 V. this unit
requires +12 V DC for its operation.

• Relay
A relay is a simple electro mechanical switch made up of an electro
magnet and a set of contacts. Here we are using SPST (Single pole,
Single Throw)type relay. It will be used to Switch ON or OFF the
electrical path between 2 contacts. This unit requires +12v DC.

• BluetoothModem
Bluetooth Modem is a device that acts as mediator between any
embedded system and Bluetooth communication medium. It has built-
in protocol for serial communication i.e. Serial Port Profile. Thus it
provides an ideal solution for developers who want to integrate
Bluetooth wireless technology into their design with limited knowledge
of Bluetooth and RF technologies.
This nit requires _3.3 V dc for its proper operation.

• PC Serial Port Controlling

Serial port of PC is also referred as RS232 port. The connector is of

type 9 pin D-type Male connector. Generally we will use only pin-2
(Rx), pin-3(Tx) and pin-5(GND) for any type of communication system.

10
 In the software par we can use any one of the of following methods...

Using MSComm Control ActiveX – The MSComm control provides

serial communications for our application by allowing the transmission
and reception of data through a serial port software. MSComm is used
as a serial port software interface. MSComm provides us the software
interface and insulates us from the functioning of the underlying
hardware.

Using System.IO.Ports Namespace – this is a part of .net framework.

This is an intrinsic way of serial port communication. In this namespace
we will use SerialPort Class. This class provides synchronous and
event-driven I/O, access to pin and break states, and access to serial
driver properties.

• Database Manager

A database management system(DBMS) consists of software that

operates databases providing storage, access, security, back up and
other facilities. Databases are designed to offer an organized
mechanism for storing, managing and retrieving information. They do
so through the use of tables.

We can use any one of the following software and technologyfor

database managing…

MS Access 2007 - Access allows us to manage our information in our

database file. It is easy to use. It is portable as can be easily copied &
pasted to any system and can run without installing the software.

MS SQL Server 2000 – It is rather complex at installation part and

easy to use. The database developed on it cannot be easily copied and
pasted on another system. Also it requires the software to be installed
to use the database files.
