Project
Title:

Motor speed control by SMS from android mobile

Area:

Power Electronic

Problem
Statement
:
(Need of
the
project)

Adopting mobile and wireless communication to control systems will greatly

benefit the industry. This contribution develops the systematic design
methods for the development of a low cost GSM SMS-based Control system
for industrial applications over the wireless communication.

Project
Descriptio
n:

Motor speed is control using SMS where user will send a text command
contain speed value that desired by user. This text command will be
processed and motor speed will be adjusted.

Problem
Statement
:

Control signal is used to control motor speed and it is basically generate by

a control switch that is connected directly to the control circuit. In order to
control the motor speed, user need to be at the place where the control
switch is located. In this project, speed of motor will be control wirelessly
using mobile phone by short message service (SMS)

Project
Objective:

1. To design a control system to control speed of motor using SMS.

Equipment
s:

DC motor, GSM Module, PIC16F877A, Tachometer, Control circuit

Requirement
s:

Proteus, MPLAB

Project Title:

Motor Speed Control by SMS From Android Mobile

1. Area:
Power Electronic

2. Background:
Nowadays motor is widely use appliance for industrial control, automation and home
electrical appliance. It span everything from residential washing machines, fans, handheld power tools, automotive window lift, traction control system, industrial drives and
many more. Motor application is not complete without a control system. The invention of
microprocessor and microcontroller make control system become easier. What control
systems do is controlling the switch, speed, and direction of motor.
Control signal is used to control motor speed and it is basically generate by a control
switch that is connected directly to the control circuit. In order to control the motor
speed, user need to be at the place where the control switch is located. In this project,
speed of motor will be control wirelessly using mobile phone by short message service
(SMS). Text message that contain desired speed will be send to the GSM module that
connect to the microcontroller on the control circuit. Microcontroller will process the text
message from the GSM module and adjust the motor speed based on the speed values
that send by user.
Controlling motor using SMS is really convenient as the user can be able to control
and monitor the motor from everywhere as long as the places have coverage. Moreover,
sending text message is nowadays consider very low cost and most of people have their
own mobile phones as it already become one of the basic need in life.

3. Objective:
1. To design a control system to control speed of motor using SMS.

4. Methodology:
This project is divided into 3 part, which is understand how DC motor speed is control,
how the microcontroller get and process data from GSM module and the last part is
programming to combine both. First, research on control DC motor speed is done. After
that, simulation will be done by simulation software such as Proteus. After completion of
the simulation, a control circuit is build. The next part understands the process and data
acquisition of the microcontroller from the GSM module. Research will be done on various
research paper available and IEEE library to understand this process. Lastly, a
programming on the microcontroller is done using C language. The program will be able
to process data from the GSM module and send it to control circuit to adjust the speed of
the DC motor. After complete all of this research, a performance test will be done on the
project.
