II. INTRODUCTION TO EMBEDDED SYSTEM

An Embedded System is a combination of computer hardware and V. BLOCK DIAGRAM

software, and perhaps additional mechanical or other parts, designed to
perform a specific function. An embedded system is a microcontroller-
based, software driven, reliable, real-time control system, autonomous,
or human or network interactive, operating on diverse physical variables
and in diverse environments and sold into a competitive and cost
conscious market.

VII. HARDWARE TESTING
CONTINUITY TEST: In electronics, a continuity test is the checking of
an electric circuit to see if current flows (that it is in fact a complete
circuit). A continuity test is performed by placing a small voltage (wired
in series with an LED or noise-producing component such as a
piezoelectric speaker) across the chosen path. If electron flow is
inhibited by broken conductors, damaged components, or excessive
resistance, the circuit is "open".

• To monitoring and control of domestic Energy meter of electric meter
by 8051 microcontroller
• This can be achieved by use of the microcontroller unit that
continuously monitors and records the energy meter reading in its
permanent (nonvolatile) memory Location and shows output on display.
• This system also makes use of display of instant tariif and units
consumed by the appliance and all power usage by consumer.
• Technologies that are more precise and accurate, error free, time
efficient etc
• It saves the time and efforts utilized in auditing susing AT89S52
microcontroller. .

This test is performed to check whether the voltage at different X. SYSTEMATIC DIAGRAM OF PROJECT
terminals is according to the requirement or not. We take a multi meter
and put it in voltage mode. Remember that this test is performed without
microcontroller. Firstly, we check the output of the transformer, whether
we get the required 12 v AC voltage. Then we apply this voltage to the
power supply circuit. Note that we do this test without microcontroller
because if there is any excessive voltage, this may lead to damaging the
controller. We check for the input to the voltage regulator i.e., are we
getting an input of 12v and an output of 5v. This 5v output is given to
the microcontrollers’ 40th pin. Hence we check for the voltage level at
40th pin. Similarly, we check for the other terminals for the required
voltage. In this way we can assure that the voltage at all the terminals is
as per the requirement.

 XII. ACKNOWLEDGMENT
It is with profound gratitude that we express our deep indebtedness to
our project guide – “Dr. Mohd. Shahid” without whose support and
guidance it would not have been possible to have materialized and
taken a concrete shape. We owe our sincere thanks to our Project
coordinator “Dr.Pinki Yadav”,who extended her full support and co-
operation at every stage of completion of our Project. We are also
thankful to our Head of Department “Dr. Danish Equbal, for providing
an environment that encouraged and supported us in working towards
the goal. This Project will give us an opportunity to explore the
practical work in the industries.
XIII. CONCLUSIONS
We conclude on this project that The system is designed in order
to calculate the energy consumption of a load in units and the cost
incurred over the use in rupees in accordance to the number of
hours that the load is to be used. The result is provided instantly
allowing user to save time wasted in energy audits. An energy
audit is a power consumption survey of the amount of units
consumed by a particular device and the cost incurred over it to
determine if the device is economical use in domestic or industrial
sectors. Since electricity cost per unit has increased a lot these
days, energy audits for devices have gained importance. Our
project consists of an instant energy auditing system using 8051
microcontroller that is able to calculate the consumed units and
cost incurred by device use over given time. The input data
including energy tariff and the number of hours device is to be
used is fed by user into the system. Based on this data the system
instantly displays the cost and units consumed within no time.
