2.3.1 Overall system components and operation
Spinning section: Spinning is a part of textile manufacturing process where polymers such
as polypropylene (HDPE/PP) converted into tape. In Han*plast manufacturing company melt
spinning is used to produce the tape. In this section there three machineries these are:-
DOSITEX
TIRATEX
FILATEX
DOSITEX:- It is a machine that is used to suck and provide for melting the raw materials to
produce the tape. This DOSITEX has different stacker that can hold different raw materials.
Each stacker hold different type of component i.e poly-propylene, calcium carbonate, colour
and other additives
Annealing:- this used to strength the tape that was stretched by the oven this process has 3 parts
the oil heater, normal and cold section.
FILATEX:- The FILATEX winder is used for the cylindrical cross winding of polyolefin
tapes on cylindrical tubes. The winding principle is based on stepped precision winding. This
FILATEX has 200 tape winder and it has a maximum speed 530 meter per minute.
Weaving section:- Weaving is the process of formation of fabrics by interlacing of warp and
weft yarns to produce fabric on any type.
This section has a machine called ADVANTEX. And the process is as follow below
Handle
Guide hole
Comb
Guide roller
Scorcher
Compensator
Eye late
Weft insert
Weaving
Roller (to convert tubular form to flat form)
Take-up roller
The ADVANTEX circular loom family covers a range of tubular fabric with widths from 30
cm to 225 cm double lay flat for a wide range of applications. All ADVANTEX circular looms
are built using the latest technology and offer maximum output at low operation cost.
Laminating section:- The process of manufacturing PP woven sacks involves mixing raw
materials starting with PP pellets and other additives, extruding the materials into a yarn PP
resin is heated with feeler of caco3 and pigment, melted and extruded as a flat film. It is then
slit into tape yarn by the slitting unit and stretched and annealed.
Next, a take-up winder winds the heat oriented tape yarn onto a bobbin. The raw material (pp
& filler) in the granules form is fed to a raffia tape manufacturing plant to obtain the raffia
tapes of PP. The raw material mix is prepared in a tray adjacent to the feed hopper. The prepared
mix is sucked into the hopper by vacuum. The raw material mix is fetched to the extruder of
the plant; where the same is melt by applying controlled external heat on the barrel. The molten
mass is forced out through the die head into a cooling tank, in the form of sheet/film. The
cooled or solidified sheet/film is passed through the knives to obtain raffia tapes of higher
denier. The ECOTEX extrusion coating/laminating line offers superior coating/laminating and
efficient operation at high speed.
The SERVOTEX is specially designed to print PP fabric, circular woven or flat, coated or
uncoated. In one single process step 4 or 6 colours on both sides can be applied. Advanced
features such as fully automatic unwinding and winding ensure highest possible efficiency at
a minimum amount of waste. Proven European workmanship allows for high production
speed at maximum reliability. Camera system for print register monitoring on front and back
side of the fabric
The fabric slitting machine SLITTEX 750 is designed to produce strips of coated PP woven
fabric, wound on rolls for use on CONVERTEX machines for top/bottom patches and valves
Pressing section:- The hydraulic baling press PRESSTEX compact is especially designed for
the baling of PP bags or raffia bags. It is of very rigid design, suitable for baling stacks with a
very large number of bags. The stacks can be loaded directly onto pallets. A loading ramp is
also provided, to allow the use of pallet lifting carts.
1. The power supply: - it provides the constant voltage level required by the PLC. As the main
supply is AC, the rectifier converts the AC into DC typically 24V. Generally the power supply
unit: Is typically non-redundant. Hence a failure of the power supply can cause the control
system to fail.
2. Processor or central processing unit (CPU): -is the brain of the PLC. It consists of
microprocessor, memory chip and other integrated circuits to control logic, monitoring and
communication. PLC is a dedicated controller i.e. it will only process one program over and
over again. One cycle through the program is called a scan time and involves reading the inputs
from the other modules, executing the logic based on these inputs and then updated the output
accordingly. The scan time happens very quickly (in range of 1/100th of the second).
3. Memory: The memory stores data and program that the CPU needs to perform various
functions. The program memory receives and holds program instruction. Data memory is used
to temporarily hold data generated from processor or acquired through I/O devices. There are
two memory elements in a PLC system:
Read-Only-Memory (ROM) gives permanent storage for the operating system and
fixed data used by the CPU.
Random-Access Memory (RAM) is used for the user’s program. This is where
information is stored on the status of input and output devices and the values of timers
and counters and other internal devices.
2.5 AC Motors
An AC motor is an electric motor driven by an alternating current (AC). There are two main
types of AC motors, depending on the type of rotor used. The first type is the induction motor
or asynchronous motor; this type relies on a small difference in speed between the rotating
magnetic field and the rotor to induce rotor current. The second type is the synchronous motor
which can rotate exactly at the supply frequency.
Induction motor
It is an AC motor that converts electrical energy in to mechanical energy in which alternating
current from a power source is fed through a primary winding and induces a current in a
secondary winding, with the parts arranged so that the resulting magnetic field causes a
movable rotor to rotate with respect to a fixed stator.
In HAN*plast manufacturing plc, there are many induction motors which are used to move
from one process to the other process. These motors are ranged from smaller motors, like screw
and rotary, having a power rating up to 0.7KW and line voltage of 220-400V to larger motors
, like fan motor and mill motor, with a power rating up to and line voltage of 6000V.
employed on a motor control to limit the amount of current drawn. The overload
relay does not provide short circuit protection. This is the function of over current
protective equipment like fuses and circuit breakers, generally located in the
disconnecting switch enclosure. Overload relays are renewable and can withstand
repeated trip and reset cycles without need of replacement. Overload relays cannot,
however, take the place of over current protection equipment. Overload relays can
be classified
a. Thermal Relay - As the name implies, thermal overload relays rely on the rising
temperatures caused by the overload current to trip the overload mechanism.
b. Magnetic Relay - Magnetic overload relays react only to current excesses and are not
affected by temperature.
c. Electronic Relay - Electronic or solid-state overload relays provide the combination of high-
speed trip, adjustability, and ease of installation. They can be ideal in many precise
applications.
I. Direct on line starter
The simplest form of motor starter for the induction motor is the direct on line starter. It consists
of a Circuit Breaker, Contactor and an overload relay for protection. The contactors are
electromagnetic type which can be opened by the thermal overload relay under fault conditions.
Typically, the contactor will be controlled by separate start and stop buttons, and an auxiliary
contact on the contactor is used, across the start button, as a hold in contact. I.e. the contactor
is electrically latched closed while the motor is operating.
Contactors
Push buttons
In this factory we have seen different type of sensor and actuators that enable the machines do their
work properly and efficiently.
2.6.1 Sensor
A sensor is a device that measures physical input from its environment and converts it into
data that can be interpreted by either a human or a machine. Most sensors are electronic (the
data is converted into electronic data), but some are more simple, such as a glass thermometer,
which presents visual data. People use sensors to measure temperature, gauge distance, detect
smoke, and regulate pressure and a myriad of other uses. There are two types of electronic
sensors: analogue and digital.
Sensors that we saw in the factory are as follow:-
Limit sensor (switch)
Position sensor
Diameter sensor
Counter sensor
Load cell sensor
Edge adjustable sensor
Print mark sensor
Limit switch:- A limit switch is a mechanical device that requires the physical contact of an
object with the switch’s actuator to make the contact change state (open/closed).As the object
or target contacts the operator of the switch, it eventually moves the actuator to the “limit”
where the contacts change state. In a Normally Closed (NC) circuit, this mechanical action
opens the electrical contacts and in a Normally Open (NO) circuit, it closes them. The
contacts then start or stop the flow of current in the electrical circuit.
Position sensor:- As their name implies, position sensors provide position feedback. They
are able to perform precise motion control, encoding and counting functions by determining
the presence or absence of a target or by detecting its motion, speed, direction or distance.
Position sensors detect a target object, a person, a substance or the disturbance of a magnetic
or an electrical field and convert that physical parameter to an electrical output to indicate the
target's position. There are different types of sensors which are used for positioning the main
that we saw in our host company is photoelectric sensor. A device that detects a change in
light intensity. Typically, this means either non-detection or detection of the sensor’s emitted
light source. The type of light and method by which the target is detected varies depending on
the sensor.
Photoelectric sensors are made up of a light source (LED), a receiver (phototransistor), a
signal converter, and an amplifier. The phototransistor analyses incoming light, verifies that it
is from the LED, and appropriately triggers an output..
Load cell sensor:-works by converting mechanical force into digital values that the user can
read and record. The inner working of a load cell differs based on the load cell that you choose.
There are hydraulic load cells, pneumatic load cells, and strain gauge load cells. Strain gauge
load sensors are the most commonly used among the three. Strain gauge load cells contain
strain gauges within them that send up voltage irregularities when under load. The degree of
voltage change is covered to digital reading as weight. Load cell sensor is defined as a
transducer that converts an input mechanical load, weight, tension, compression or pressure.
Counter sensor:- A Counter is a device that counts the number of objects or the number of
operations. It is called a Counter because it counts the number of ON/OFF signals input from
an input device, such as a switch or sensor.
A proximity sensor is a sensor able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any
physical contact. A proximity sensor often emits an electromagnetic field or a beam
of electromagnetic radiation (infrared, for instance), and looks for changes in the field or
return signal. The object being sensed is often referred to as the proximity sensor's target.
Different proximity sensor targets demand different sensors.
Print mark sensor:- These sensors have been specially designed to recognize print marks.
They have a very small spot, and use a white light LED with long service life. Only one sensor
is required for the recognition of all colour combinations, as well as the difference in brightness
between printed markings and the background.
Applications
2.6.2 Actuator
An actuator is a device that uses a form of power to convert a control signal into mechanical
motion. From electric door locks in automobiles, to ailerons on aircraft, actuators are all around
us. Industrial plants use actuators to operate valves, dampers, fluid couplings, and other devices
used in industrial process control. The industrial actuator can use air, hydraulic fluid, or
electricity for motive power. These are referred to as pneumatic, electro-hydraulic, or electric
actuators.
Actuator that we saw in the factory is Pneumatic Actuators
Pneumatic actuators are devices that convert the energy of compressed air or gas into a
mechanical motion that regulates one or more final control elements. They are used as a form
of automation control to reduce mandatory human interaction with a system’s internal
mechanisms, which is particularly beneficial for automatic modulation and emergency
shutdowns. The motion of a pneumatic actuator may be linear or rotary depending on the
device’s design. Prototypical actuators use an external compressive force, such as compressed
air or gas, to move a piston along the inside of a hollow cylinder and build pressure. This
generates a linear force relative to the piston’s pressure differential multiplied by its surface
area, which is used to move a load along a straight line. So-called linear pressure actuators have
been in service for decades but enhancements in diaphragm design and sealing capabilities
have vastly improved the technology’s efficiency and scope of functionality.
Internship provides the opportunities to build a relationship with the company, network with
other people in the field and gain valuable first-hand experience. It gives us the knowledge
and experience we need to be confident in our career activities. We understand that our duties
include the following tasks.
Obey the rules of the company
Work the given tasks in the company with the guidance of the company
supervisor and Assisting company operators
Write and submit reports on each area
To be Committed to work
To be reliable and punctual
Making problem solving project
2.8.1 Challenges
During our stay in national cement we faced many challenges that make our time a little bit
difficult over there. Those challenges are listed below:
Lack of personal protective equipment
as we are not familiar with the staff members, they don’t tell us anything unless they
are asked
some of the technicians are not well skilled, so when we had questions they either
confuse us or they don’t answer at all even though they are willing to tell us how the
machine works and the internal electrical component
since the machineries had high sound, it makes difficult to hear some of the
explanations from our supervisors
some of the working sections have high smell because of chemicals
we were unable to get the manual for some machineries
Since we were theoretical student, it was difficult for us to know even some of the
electrical instruments
Some of operators are foreign and do not speak English well we had much difficulties
in communication with them
For each of the above challenges here are the lists of measures that we take:
As the company makes wearing PPE mandatory and they do not provide, we bought safety
shoes, earphone, face mask by our own
In order to overcome the communication problem, we started taking part in their
conversation and we started asking questions in site about each and every electrical related
components and processes
For questions that are not well explained by electricians, we start searching for details in
the internet
For the explanations that we missed due to the sound problem, we start asking them again
in the office
By taking the necessary precautions like by shielding our face and by wearing eye glass we
try to learn in the dusty environment
We searched on the internet to get the manuals for some machineries
For the electrical components that we don’t have exposure in the past, we ask the
electricians what it is and how it woks
CHAPTER THREE
To be familiar with the operation principle, control mechanism, and networking system
of programming logic controller (PLC).
To analysis the starting and speed control mechanism of electric motors.
We got an experience to read and interpret information and ideas presented in electrical
documentation drawings for different types of electrical machines as all the electrical
maintenance and installation system is based on the electrical documentations designed
by engineers.
How to solve industrial problem by correlating our theoretical knowledge with the
required instruction manuals and asking professional persons for problems beyond our
skill.
work well in a team as they are able to communicate effectively with other colleagues.
Generally we have gained the following interpersonal communication skills at HAN*plast.
Communication skills: which in turn covers:
Verbal communication-what we say and how we say it
Non-verbal communication-what we have communicate without word
Listening skills-how we interpret both the verbal and non-verbal message sent by others
Emotional intelligent: being able to understand and manage our own and other’s
emotion
Conflict resolution and mediation: working with each other’s to resolve interpersonal
conflict and disagreement in a positive way
Problem solving and decision making: working with others to identify, define and solve
problem, which includes making decisions about the best course of action
Listening skill
Forwarding precise messages or instructions
We do not dictate or criticize a person's work in front of others and understanding about
their needs
We are interested in the people communicating with us
We learn from one another interaction by correcting our faults
Leadership, a critical management skill, is the ability to motivate a group of people toward a
common goal. A leader is a person who has strong principles, courage, and dedication to a clear
vision. A person who is in the position leadership seeks optimal solution to problems and
should be smart enough to manage those individual whom he/she is leading and must possess
leadership quality and ability to handle intricate interpersonal relationships effectively within
a company to increase productivity. For effective leadership we understood that personal values
like confidence, effective communication and devotion are very important role. We have learnt
how to satisfy customers and works without any felling which makes them happy and
productive. We also develop the ability how to lead a person who is not willing to take his
responsibility and how to make him a productive worker by giving advice and other
measurements.
During our internship period, we have understood the following leadership techniques:
We have seen how each worker is controlled and organized to perform its day to day
activities. Among all other managements we have understood that human resource
management is the most important one.
We have actually observed the method of controlling; the working time and amount of
work done by each worker so that the work proceeds according to the work plan.
For effective leadership we understood that personal values like confidence, effective
communication and devotion are very important.
If there is, conflict between the consultants leader must resolve the conflict in a good
way with his problem solving method or negotiate them.
Finally we identify the following listed items as a key to develop our leadership skill:

4.1 Abstract
4.2 Introduction
Today's production systems in HAN*plast manufacturing plc are required to deliver high
efficiency and productivity, since the demand for cement bag has been rising. Productivity
improvement is one of the core strategies towards manufacturing excellence and it also is
necessary to achieve better financial and operational performance. Improvement can be in the
form of correction of ineffective processing, simplifying the process, optimizing the system,
reducing variation, maximizing throughput, reducing cost, improving quality and reducing set
up time.
Increasing productivity can be achieved in so many ways. The first step is all about identifying
pain point of the current workflow. Next we need to analyse the people, technology and process
required for production as well as procedures and resource available across the company.
This project relates to automation of unwinder roll where by the empty roll change to the full
one automatically without stopping the machine which save the loss of time that leads to the
loss of production of bag.
In HAN*plast we identified some problem which have direct impact on production efficiency.
Some of them are:-
The unwinder roll in cutting section is adjusted manually and also luck automatic roll
change which cause time loss that means in each minute 140 bags loss
The dye in spinning section also adjusted manually
In printing section the printing problems are detected by
Oversized lamination in the ECOTEX
Dye is adjusted manually in the TIRATEX
The wrap is jumped during weave in the ADVANTEX
The sprinter is adjusted manually for each type of bags
The ultrasonic cutter in the CUTTEX does not indicate any error happened
There is cutting section in HAN*plast manufacturing plc. In this section there are two machines
i.e CUTTEX and SLITTEX. This two machines luck automation in roll change when the roll
become empty it do not indicate as well as do not change the roll automatically to the next roll.
This work is done by a man power which cause in loss of time during the adjustment. The time
which is lost during adjustment will have the direct impact in the production efficiency because
in each minute it manufacture 140 bags. In order to avoid this problem we have designed an
automatic roll indicator and changer system using proteus software, sensors and motors
This project has a number of significance. The primary significance of the project is to reduce
the time loss during each roll change, since this process needs more time that leads to stack the
production of 140 bags in each minute.
Another significance is that it reduce man power. That is needed to change roll in each time.
Last but not least this project was also a great educating scenario for us all interns. It was a
great practice in guiding us through all the steps in performing a project.
This is not a new idea about automation of unwinder roll in machines. The idea was there in
different machines before we implement here but not in way that we implemented now. But
those idea was helpful for our project.

Power supply
A power supply is a device that supplies electric power to an electrical load. The term is most
commonly applied to electric power converters that convert one form of electrical energy to
another, though it may also refer to devices that convert another form of energy (mechanical,
chemical, solar) to electrical energy. A regulated power supply is one that controls the output
voltage or current to a specific value; the controlled value is held nearly.
The input to controlling circuit is applied from the regulated power supply. The AC input (i.e.,
220v) from the main supply is step down by the transformer to 5v and fed to rectifier. The
output obtained from the rectifier is DC voltage. So, in order to get a pure DC voltage, the
output voltage from rectifier is feed to a diode filter to remove any AC components even after
rectification. Now this voltage is given to voltage regulator to obtain a pure constant DC
voltage.
Resistor
Resistors are components used to resist the flow of electric current. Many types of resistors are
used having different uses and construction. The most common types have a fixed value of
resistance so are often called fixed resistors. Resistors are also used to reduce voltages and
currents around a circuit so that ‘active components’, transistors and integrated circuits for
example, that carry out tasks such as producing or amplifying signals within the circuit are
supplied with the correct voltages and currents to work properly. Because resistors are ‘passive
components’ they cannot amplify or increase voltages currents or signals, they can only reduce
them.
Transistors are a three terminal semiconductor device used to regulate current, or to amplify an
input signal into a greater output signal. Transistors are also used to switch electronic signals.
The circulation of electrical current through all types of transistors is adjusted by electron
addition. This process creates variations in voltage to cause proportionally larger variations in
output current, creating amplification.
Transistors can also work as switches. A tiny electric current flowing through one part of a
transistor can make a much bigger current flow through another part of it. In other words, the
small current switches on the larger one.
The PN2222 is a conjoint NPN bipolar junction transistor which is used for common
persistence less power intensifying or swapping circuits applications. The PN2222 is an NPN
transistor the pin out of emitter and collector will be uncluttered when we attach base pin with
the ground and these pins will be fastened when a signal is delivered on base. Its gain value is
110 to 800; this value governs the intensification capability of the transistor. The maximum
quantity of current that can drift by the collector pin is 800mA; here after we cannot attach
loads which devour more than 800 mA by this transistor.it is used where high current consumer
loads in the circuit, in numerous swapping submissions, to control the speed of different types
of motors, in inversion and rectification circuits.
Buzzer
Buzzer is a kind of voice device that converts audio model into sound signal. It is mainly used
to prompt or alarm. According to different design and application, it can produce music sound,
flute sound, buzzer, alarm sound, electric bell and other different sounds. It is widely used in
household appliance, alarm system, automatic production line, low voltage electrical
equipment, and other products. In home security system the buzzer alarm is included in the
circuit to come on when a wrong pin is inserted, so as to alert against intruders. When a wrong
pin is entered the microcontroller activates the port to which the Buzzer is connected to.
Motor driver
Motor drivers act as an interface between the motors and the control circuits. Motor require
high amount of current whereas the controller circuit works on low current signals. So the
function of motor drivers is to take a low-current control signal and then turn it into a higher-
current signal that can drive a motor.
L6201 is a motor driver that can be interfaced with an Arduino microcontroller or any 3.3v-5v
based microcontroller. This motor driver module can be handle up to 48v and handle a
Oscillator
Oscillators are used to provide clock to the microcontroller.in a microcontroller or
microprocessor, every instruction is executed in synchronization with clock.it provides timing
for different operations in a microcontroller. A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator
circuit that uses mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal of piezoelectric material to create
an electrical signal with a constant frequency.
This frequency is often used to keep track of time, as in quartz wristwatches, to provide a stable
clock signal for digital integrated circuits, and to stabilize frequencies for radio transmitters
and receivers. The most common type of piezoelectric resonator used is the quartz crystal, so
oscillator circuits incorporating them became known as crystal oscillators.
LCD
LCDs are alphanumeric (or graphic) displays which are frequently used in microcontroller-
based applications. Some LCDs have forty or more-character lengths with the capability to
display several lines, and other can be programmed to display graphic images. Some modules
offer colour displays, while others incorporate backlighting so they can be viewed in dimly lit
conditions. There are basically two types of LCDs as far as the interfacing technique is
concerned: parallel and serial. Parallel LCDs (e.g., the Hitachi HD44780 series) are connected
to the microcontroller circuit such that data is transferred to the LCD using more than one line,
usually four or eight data lines. Serial LCDs are connected to a microcontroller using one data
line only, and data is transferred using the RS232 asynchronous data communications protocol.
Serial LCDs are generally much easier to work with but more costly than parallel ones. In this
activity only parallel LCDs are discussed, as they are used more often in microcontroller-based
projects. The LCD display is a module that contains its own data pins. Accessing these pins
and connecting to proper connection to the microcontroller will give the correct display.
Always check the datasheet for every LCD display module.
In order to calculate the distance between the sensor and the object, the sensor measures the
time it takes between the emissions of the sound by the transmitter to its contact with the
receiver. The formula for this calculation is D = ½ T x C (where D is the distance, T is the
time, and C is the speed of sound ~ 343 meters/second). For example, if a scientist set up an
ultrasonic sensor aimed at a box and it took 0.025 seconds for the sound to bounce back, the
distance between the ultrasonic sensor and the box would be: D = 0.5 x 0.025 x 343.
Ultrasonic sensors are used primarily as proximity sensors. They can be found in automobile
self-parking technology and anti-collision safety systems. Ultrasonic sensors are also used in
robotic obstacle detection systems, as well as manufacturing technology. In comparison to
infrared (IR) sensors in proximity sensing applications, ultrasonic sensors are not as susceptible
to interference of smoke, gas, and other airborne particles (though the physical components are
still affected by variables such as heat).
Ultrasonic sensors are also used as level sensors to detect, monitor, and regulate liquid levels
in closed containers (such as vats in chemical factories). Most notably, ultrasonic technology
has enabled the medical industry to produce images of internal organs, identify tumours, and
ensure the health of babies in the womb.
Ultrasonic sensors work by sending out a sound wave at a frequency above the range of
human hearing. The transducer of the sensor acts as a microphone to receive and send
the ultrasonic sound. Our ultrasonic sensors, like many others, use a single transducer to
send a pulse and to receive the echo. The sensor determines the distance to a target by
measuring time lapses between the sending and receiving of the ultrasonic pulse.
Ultrasonic sensor which has a transmitter, receiver. The pin configuration is,
VCC - +5 V supply
TRIG – Trigger input of the sensor. Microcontroller applies 10 us trigger pulse to the
HC-SR04 ultrasonic module.
ECHO–Echo output of the sensor. Microcontroller reads/monitors this pin to detect the
obstacle or to find the distance.
GND – Ground
Sound is a mechanical wave travelling through the mediums, which may be a solid, or liquid
or gas. Sound waves can travel through the mediums with specific velocity depends on the
medium of propagation. The sound waves which are having high frequency reflect from
boundaries and produce distinctive echo patterns.
Potentiometer
The measuring instrument called a potentiometer is essentially a voltage divider used for
measuring electric potential (voltage); the component is an implementation of the same
principle, hence its name.
Potentiometers are commonly used to control electrical devices such as volume controls on
audio equipment. Potentiometers operated by a mechanism can be used as position transducers,
for example, in a joystick. Potentiometers are rarely used to directly control significant power
(more than a watt), since the power dissipated in the potentiometer would be comparable to the
power in the controlled load.
The PIC microcontroller PIC16f877a is one of the most renowned microcontrollers in the
industry. This microcontroller is very convenient to use, the coding or programming of this
controller is also easier. One of the main advantages is that it can be write-erase as many times
as possible because it uses FLASH memory technology. It has a total number of 40 pins and
there are 33 pins for input and output. PIC16F877A is used in many pic microcontroller
projects. PIC16F877A also have much application in digital electronics circuits.
PIC16f877a finds its applications in a huge number of devices. It is used in remote sensors,
security and safety devices, home automation and many industrial instruments.
An EEPROM is also featured in it which makes it possible to store some of the information
permanently like transmitter codes and receiver frequencies and some other related data. The
cost of this controller is low and its handling is also easy. It is flexible and can be used in areas
where microcontrollers have never been used before as in microprocessor applications and
timer functions etc.
It has a smaller 35 instructions set.
It can operate up to 20MHz frequency.
The operating voltage is between 4.2 volts to 5.5 volts. If you provide it voltage more
than 5.5 volts, it may get damaged permanently.
It does not have an internal oscillator like other PIC18F46K22, PIC18F4550.
The maximum current each PORT can sink or source is around 100mA. Therefore, the
current limit for each GPIO pin of PIC16F877A is 10 mili ampere.
It is available in four IC packaging such as 40-pin PDIP 44-pin PLCC, 44-pin TQFP,
44-pin QFN
As it has been mentioned before, there are 40 pins of this microcontroller IC. It consists of two
8 bit and one 16 bit timer. Capture and compare modules, serial ports, parallel ports and five
input/output ports are also present in it. This picture shows the pinout diagram of PIC16F877A.
PIN 1: MCLR: The first pin is the master clear pin of this IC. It resets the microcontroller and
is active low, meaning that it should constantly be given a voltage of 5V and if 0 V are given
then the controller is reset. Resetting the controller will bring it back to the first line of the
program that has been burned into the IC.
PIN 2: RA0/AN0: PORTA consists of 6 pins, from pin 2 to pin 7, all of these are bidirectional
input/output pins. Pin 2 is the first pin of this port. This pin can also be used as an analogue pin
AN0. It is built in analogue to digital converter.
PIN 3: RA1/AN1: This can be the analogue input 1.
PIN 4: RA2/AN2/Vref- : It can also act as the analogue input2. Or negative analogue reference
voltage can be given to it.
PIN 5: RA3/AN3/Vref+: It can act as the analogue input 3. Or can act as the analogue positive
reference voltage.
PIN 6: RA0/T0CKI: To timer0 this pin can act as the clock input pin, the type of output is
open drain.
PIN 7: RA5/SS/AN4: This can be the analogue input 4. There is synchronous serial port in the
controller also and this pin can be used as the slave select for that port.
PIN 8: RE0/RD/AN5: PORTE starts from pin 8 to pin 10 and this is also a bidirectional input
output port. It can be the analogue input 5 or for parallel slave port it can act as a ‘read control’
pin which will be active low.
PIN 9: RE1/WR/AN6: It can be the analogue input 6. And for the parallel slave port it can act
as the ‘write control’ which will be active low.
PIN 10: RE2/CS/A7: It can be the analogue input 7, or for the parallel slave port it can act as
the ‘control select’ which will also be active low just like read and write control pins.
PIN 11 and 32: VDD: These two pins are the positive supply for the input/output and logic
pins. Both of them should be connected to 5V.
PIN 12 and 31: VSS: These pins are the ground reference for input/output and logic pins. They
should be connected to 0 potential.
PIN 13: OSC1/CLKIN: This is the oscillator input or the external clock input pin.
PIN 14: OSC2/CLKOUT: This is the oscillator output pin. A crystal resonator is connected
between pin 13 and 14 to provide external clock to the microcontroller. ¼ of the frequency of
OSC1 is outputted by OSC2 in case of RC mode. This indicates the instruction cycle rate.

This are the procedures that I followed so I make use of timer 1 which is a 16bit timer, timer1
interrupt and external interrupt. I use timer1 interrupt because I noticed that timer1 overflows
before 23 ms, hence it measures only a fraction of the distance. So using the interrupt, I was
able to know exactly how many times the timer overflows and added it to the timer value. You
will see me do that in the code.
I know you will be wondering where I got the figure 0.0034. Let explain it step by step.
Distance = TIMER1*0.0034.
Result one:- roll one is on the work until the distance of the fabric is less than 50 m this roll is
also the LCD display will show the status of the fabric in meter depending on the value given
from ultrasonic sensor
4.9 Conclusion
To sum up all and conclude our project, we have earned a lot during our stay in this internship
program at HAN*plast manufacturing plc. And we have worked on this project on a problem
we pointed out in the manufacturing process of the company, particularly on cutting section,
and proposed a new designed system to make better manufacturing process.
We have included all the needed predesign procedures in our paper work, related with all the
study introductory, data collection, analysis, feasibility studies, Design procedures, Simulation
and illustration.
During our project work here, we had gone through all the steps required, and this step was
filled with new challenges and new ideas to beat these challenges. And we have earned great
experience in each and every step we made. Since this project integrates the concepts of
Electrical Engineering disciplines, we have gained a lot in doing it so. Alongside with learning
how to manage and work on a successful deign as an Engineer.
4.10 Recommendation
First and for most we recommend HAN*plast manufacturing plc to make an overall overview
on our designed Project and support our idea so as to solve the mentioned problem in the
particular line.
We also recommend those whom concerns to put further progressive works and studies on
developing this idea furthermore.
4.11 Contribution
As the main work of the electricians in the factory is maintenance, either preventive or
corrective, we participated as much as we can.
CHAPTER FIVE
5.1 Conclusion
All in one, we think it would be fair to say that the internship program has been an enlightening
experience .We tried to put what we have been learning in the university, which is theoretical
knowledge, into practice and we got insight into practical work. The internship helped us to
gain the exposure to real-world problems and issues that, some of them, perhaps are not found
in textbooks. So we can say it was the time for us to challenge our knowledge. It also helped
us to recognize the environment that we will join after graduation. During our internship period
we have gained practical skills such as:
Identifying many electrical and control devices that are installed in the automation
system of the factory.
We had been familiar with different electrical inputs (sensors) to output devices
installed to control the production of the company.
We have gotten a better skill, experience and personal qualities in the working
environment.
Generally, the internship helped us to upgrade our theoretical knowledge and improve practical
skills, team playing skills, leader ship skills, interpersonal communication, written and oral
communication skill, and be aware of ethical issues. We perceive this opportunity as big mile
stone in our career development, we will strive to use gained skills and knowledge in the best
possible way, and we will continue to work on our improvement, in order to attain career
objectives.
The internship also helped us to find out what our strengths and weakness are. This helped us
to identify the skills and knowledge that must be improved in the coming time.
At last this internship was a useful experience and has given us new insights and motivation to
continue in the field of electrical engineering.
5.2 Recommendation
The work load and the payment of employees are uncompensated and due to
this some of the engineers are leaving the company. So they should improve the
wage for employees
Supervisors in the company should give enough time for the students. As we see
in the company, everything is done by the endeavour of the student. The human
resource management should think about this so as to decrease the load of the
student.
The company should considered to open café for the employees because it’s
difficult to find lunch and dinner from the environment and surroundings.
The company should build a network to identify employees with skill problems
and give them enough training so as to make them well skilled
The company should give priority to students who attend their internship on the
company
Two or three month are not enough for the students to know the external non-academic world.
If it possible, more time must be given for this internship time from the five year. If it is not
possible, giving more time for laboratory, workshop and experiment class may improve the
student’s ability to know more knowledge than theoretical studying
