Embedded based projects
Project
Digital control for display and monitoring the machine shop
The purpose of this device is to minimize the manpower (supervisor)
in the machine shop. the device can monitor all the individual workmanship
and the number of jobs completed and time taken to complete individual jobs
are communicated to the PC
In case of power failure the device can back up the last value and keep the
same value when power resumes. This device can helpful to identify total
jobs completed and idle time of the individual workman ,etc
Project
Speed limiting device for heavy vehicles
The speed limiting device have developed as per ARAI’s – AIS 018 standard.
The device had been designed specially for heavy vehicles & it is designed in
such a way that it is made suitable for different models/ manufactures of
vehicles to ensure excellent drivability. The device is designed/ built in such a
way it can operate excellently under different conditions and tamper proof.
The RSL device controls the vehicle & doesn’t allow the vehicle to go at a
speed at the set speed 60 KMPH; it controls and maintains the speed at the
set speed 60 KMPH. The RSL device has a limping facility that gets activated
when there is a failure in the RSL device or when tampered.
Electronics Control Unit (ECU) consist of the following major parts Speed
sensing,Microcontroller unit,Calibration port,Motor driving and Motor position
control.
Project
Digital control for semi automatic Loom
This device can improve the quality of the cloth and to reduce the
manual monitoring of the wept and warp control. in warp process,in case of
any damage in any one yarn can be identified and to stop the machine at the
beginning stage of wept position.in wept process ,in case of yarn in the
spindle is reduced ,it can be automatically stopped and given indication to
identify the status of the machine .
Project
Digital controller for Reverbatory furnaces
This project is to control the temperate of the furnace based on Materials to
be heated. The user can dynamically preset the temperature range based on
the materials used. The speed up of the heating process can be done.
The preset value of temperature range is received via USART communication.
Current temperature value from the thermocouple is received via SPI. The
Controller periodically updates the status from both user and target
Project
SpinTraq– RFID based Spindle Tracking System
This project is developed for tracing out the faulty yarn from spinning machine
using passive RFID tags which is embedded inside the cops.
The process is to count the number of processed cops based on real time
clock (RTC).Monitoring the cops status in online for every 20 ms. It
increments the count value if the cops changed and the data’s are updated in
Main database (PC). In case of main database failure, the designed built-in
hardware has a data base (internal ram in the controller) which is capable of
having a backup of data’s up-to 100 cops.
Project
Customized Industrial Energy meter
This project is to control the temperate of the furnace based on Materials to
be heated. The user can dynamically preset the temperature range based on
the materials used. The speed up of the heating process can be done.
The preset value of temperature range is received via USART communication.
Current temperature value from the thermocouple is received via SPI. The
Controller periodically updates the status from both user and target
Project
UPS Monitoring Board for CNC Machines
The function of the UPS monitoring board is to get the inputs from the UPS
and store them in the non-volatile memory. The digital inputs are taken
through periodic scanning and logged into the memory. The analog inputs
that are conditioned by a signal conditioning board are received and logged
into the memory along with the time. This information is then sent to the PC
on request received from the PC. The PC and monitoring board communicate
through RS232. The CPU used is the 8 bit micro controller
Project
Customized Industrial Energy meter
This project authenticates the consumption of electricity and continuously
monitoring to forecast the load statistic in real time.
Apart from normal measurement like Line Voltage, Line Current, the
customized features like Scrolling Display, Rising Demand, Maximum Demand
Integration, Real Time Clock, Multi-tariff & Seasonal Data, Load Profile,
RS232 Port, Pulse Output on Terminal Block.
