SMS BASED UNIVERSAL MOTOR SPEED CONTROL

Objective:
The objective of this project is to control the speed of the universal motor through
mobile phone.

Scope:
This project is very useful to control the speed of the universal motor used in the
application through SMS. We can control the universal motor speed from any where.

Brief Methodology:
This project is designed with microcontroller, mobile phone with data cable,
DAC, SCR control circuit, Proximity sensor.
In this project mobile phone is interfaced with microcontroller through data cable.
Data cable is the special type of cable available with mobile phone. It is always interfaced
with the microcontroller. From any where we can send SMS like S with our desired
speed, for an example S2500 to the mobile thats connected in the microcontroller.
Microcontroller will reads this message from mobile through RS232 converter. This
converter is used to convert TTL logic to RS232 logic. In microcontroller we have
already programmed so it receives the signal from RS232 converter, corresponding
information is displayed on the LCD display.
In microcontroller incoming signal is compared with set value, and then the set
speed value to DAC.
DAC is nothing but digital to analog converter. It converts the digital signal to
corresponding analog signal then it given to SCR control circuit.
The analog signal is used to change the firing angle of the SCR. This firing angle
is equal to our desired speed. Through this way the motor speed is controlled. Proximity
sensor is used to measure the motor speed. It is the one type of transducer. It detects the
metals and generates the voltage pulse. We fixed the metal plate in the motor shaft. So
whenever the metal plate is crossed, the proximity sensor generates the pulse. The

corresponding pulse signal is given to microcontroller. Now the microcontrollers display

the pulse rate on the LCD display which is equal to speed of the motor. By this way we
can set our desired speed through SMS.
