1. ABSTRACT

The main aim of the project is to control the ac appliances which is operated with GSM module(i.e with message). In this project a GSM server is implemented with microcontroller chip. The GSM Modem can provide the necessary data related to industry to a maintenance officer located anywhere at any time. According to data received officer will take some action by sending some commands to microcontroller chip through mobile unit to GSM modem. Microcontroller chip decodes the commands and controls the appliances . In normal we used to control the ac appliances by manual operation. Hence it is to be updated step by step manually. It is overcome by a new mode of communication which is used to control all those equipments through a single message from anywhere. GSM is the most popular mobile phone system in the world which could be used for this controlling operation from anywhere else. The working principle of the project is to contol the appliances through GSM network. As it is difficult to control the ac voltage directly with microcontroller, which is overcome by using a TRIAC i.e BT136 that enables the operation to be controlled in steps . Dc voltage is given to the voltage regulator IC to convert 12vdc to 5v dc which is use for giving the supply to the microcontroller. Here the gsm modem is connected to the usart pins of the microcontroller i.e(PD0 as rxd & PD1 as txd).The communication between the microcontroller & gsm modem is done through a protocol known as rs232 protocol, the data transfer is done serially for which appriopriate programming is done.
