ABSTRACT

The project deals with the design and development of hardware and software for
89C51 MCU based stepper motor control system. The main application of this system is
generally used for security and defense applications. Automated surveillance addresses
real time observations of objects with a busy and in hostile environments such as country
borders leading to description of their actions and interactions. This system has a CCD
camera. The direction of the camera is moved right and left directions using stepper
motor. The surveillance camera output is displayed on a monitor and the images can be
recorded or stored in a computer.

In this project, the stepper motor can be rotated in clock wise and anti-clock wise
direction with 5 or 10 steps spin. This direction can be controlled by giving a command
through PC’s hyper terminal tool. This project is also useful for positioning of Antenna.

In order to control the electrical appliances through PC, data transfer must be
ensured between PC and 8051 system. Serial data communication uses a single data line
which makes it not only cheaper but also enables two computers located in two different
cities to communicate over the telephone. There are special IC chips made by many
manufacturers for serial data communication. These chips are usually referred to as
USART(Universal synchronous-asynchronous receiver-transmitter) and UART(Universal
asynchronous receiver-transmitter). 8051 chip has an in-built UART i.e., it has an
integrated serial port which enables one to read and write values to the serial port very
easily.

The rate of data transfer in serial data communication is stated in bps (bits per
second) or baud rate. To allow data transfer between PC and 8051 system without any
error, the baud rate of the 8051 system should match the baud rate of the PC’s COM port.
Thus the operation mode and baud rate of the serial port is to be configured. Once
configured, read or write operations can be performed accordingly.
 This project uses regulated 5V, 500mA power supply. 7805 three terminal voltage
regulator is used for voltage regulation. Bridge type full wave rectifier is used to rectify
the ac out put of secondary of 230/12V step down transformer.
