Page 1 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System WORKING METHODOLOGY: Present project is designed using 8051 microcontroller to avoid railway accidents happening at unattended railway gates, if implemented in spirit. This project utilizes two powerful IR transmitters and two receivers; one pair of transmitter and receiver is fixed at up side (from where the train comes) at a level higher than a human being in exact alignment and similarly the other pair is fixed at down side of the train direction. Sensor activation time is so adjusted by calculating the time taken at a certain speed to cross at least one compartment of standard minimum size of the Indian railway. We have considered 5 seconds for this project. Sensors are fixed at 1km on both sides of the gate. We call the sensor along the train direction as ‘foreside sensor’ and the other as ‘after side sensor’. When foreside receiver gets activated, the gate motor is turned on in one direction and the gate is closed and stays closed until the train crosses the gate and reaches aft side sensors. When aft side receiver gets activated motor turns in opposite direction and gate opens and motor stops. Buzzer will immediately sound at the fore side receiver activation and gate will close after 5 seconds, so giving time to drivers to clear gate area in order to avoid trapping between the gates and stop sound after the train has crossed. GATE CONTROL Railways being the cheapest mode of transportation are preferred over all the other means .When we go through the daily newspapers we come across many railway accidents occurring at unmanned railway crossings. This is mainly due to the carelessness in manual operations or lack of workers. We, in this project has come up with a solution for the same. Using simple electronic components we have tried to automate the control of railway gates. As a train approaches the railway crossing from either side, the sensors placed at a certain distance from the gate detects the approaching train and accordingly controls the operation of the gate. Also an indicator light has been provided to alert the motorists about the approaching train.

The logic is produced by the program written in Embedded C language. The software program is written, by using the KEIL micro vision environment. The program written is then converted in HEX code after simulation and burned on to microcontroller using FLASH micro vision. AT89C51 Microcontroller The Micro controller (AT89C51) is a low power; high performance CMOS 8-bit micro controller with 4K bytes of Flash programmable and erasable read only memory (PEROM). The on-chip Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed in-system or by a conventional non-volatile memory programmer. By combining a versatile 8-bit CPU with Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel AT89C51 is a powerful microcomputer, which provides a highly flexible and cost-effective solution to many embedded control applications. By using this controller the data inputs from the smart card is passed to the parallel port of the pc and accordingly the software responds. The IDE for writing the embedded program used is KEI L software. Keil Micro vision Integrated Development Environment. Keil Software development tools for the 8051 micro controller family support every level of developer from the professional applications engineer to the student just learning about embedded software development.The industry-standard Keil C Compilers, Macro Assemblers, Debuggers, Real-time Kernels, and Single-board Computers support ALL 8051-compatible derivatives and help you get your projects completed on schedule. The source code is written in assembly language .It is saved as ASM file with an extension. A51.the ASM file is converted into hex file using keil software. Hex file is dumped into micro controller using LABTOOL software. At once the file is dumped and the ROM is burnt then it becomes an embedded one.

The 8255 is programmed as a simple I/O port for connection with devices such as LEDs, geared DC motors and sensors. The following block diagram shows the various devices connected to the different ports of an 8255. The ports are each 8-bit and are named A, B and C. The individual ports of the 8255 can be programmed to be input or output, and can be changed dynamically. The control register is programmed in simple I/O mode with port A, port B and port C (upper) as output ports and port C (lower) as an input port. IR CIRCUITS This circuit has two stages: a transmitter unit and a receiver unit. The transmitter unit consists of an infrared LED and its associated circuitry. IR TRANSMITTER The IR LED emitting infrared light is put on in the transmitting unit. To generate IR signal, 555 IC based astable multivibrator is used. Infrared LED is driven through transistor BC 548. IC 555 is used to construct an astable multivibrator which has two quasi-stable states. It generates a square wave of frequency 38kHz and amplitude 5Volts. It is required to switch ‘ON’ the IR LED. IR RECEIVER: The receiver unit consists of a sensor and its associated circuitry. In receiver section, the first part is a sensor, which detects IR pulses transmitted by IR-LED. Whenever a train crosses the sensor, the output of IR sensor momentarily transits through a low state. As a result the monostable is triggered and a short pulse is applied to the port pin of the 8051 microcontroller. On receiving a pulse from the sensor circuit, the controller activates the circuitry required for closing and opening of the gates and for track switching. The IR receiver circuit is shown in the figure below. Page 7 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System L293D Dual H-Bridge Motor Driver L293D is a dual H-Bridge motor driver, So with one IC we can interface two DC motors which can be controlled in both clockwise and counter clockwise direction and if you have motor with fix direction of motion the you can make use of all the four I/Os to connect up to four DC motors. L293D has output current of 600mA and peak output current of 1.2A per channel. Moreover for protection of circuit from back EMF ouput Page 8 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System diodes are included within the IC. The output supply (VCC2) has a wide range from 4.5V to 36V, which has made L293D a best choice for DC motor driver. A simple schematic for interfacing a DC motor using L293D is shown below. As you can see in the circuit, three pins are needed for interfacing a DC motor (A, B, Enable). If you want the o/p to be enabled completely then you can connect Enable to VCC and only 2 pins needed from controller to make the motor work. As per the truth mentioned in the image above its fairly simple to program the microcontroller. Its also clear from the truth table of BJT circuit and L293D the programming will be same for both of them, just keeping in mind the allowed combinations of A and B. We will discuss about programming in C as well as assembly for running motor with the help of a microcontroller. Page 9 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System 5.EMBEDDED SYSTEMS Introduction: An Embedded system is a combination of computer hardware and software, and perhaps additional mechanical or other parts, designed to perform a specific function. Embedded systems are usually a part of larger, complex system. Dedicated applications, designed to execute specific activities, are implemented and embedded in systems. These embedded applications are required to collaborate with the other components of an enclosed system. Embedded application components interact mostly with the non-human external environment. They continuously collect data from sensors or other computer components and process data within real-time constraints. Embedded systems are usually associated with dedicated hardware and specific software. Embedding an application into system Page 10 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Application and system are closely tied together Collaborative application Dedicated H/W and specific S/W Interaction with non-human external environment Real-time systems are embedded systems 5.1 EMBEDDED PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE Understand user requirements Choose optimum electronic chip S/W Side H/W Side HLL/ALL Algorithm Coding/Editing Compiling/Assembling PCB Layout design Assembling components Debugging Testing Page 11 Testing Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System 5.2 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR AN EMBEDDED SYSTEM Introduction: Unlike software designed for general-purpose computers, embedded software cannot usually be run on other embedded system without significant modification. This is mainly because of the incredible variety in the underlying hardware. The hardware in each embedded system is tailored specifically to the application, in order to keep system costs low. As a result, unnecessary circuitry is eliminated and hardware resources are shared whenever possible. In order to have software, there must be a place to store the executable code and temporary storage for runtime data manipulation. These take the form of ROM and RAM, respectively. All embedded systems also contain some type of inputs and outputs. It is almost always the case that the outputs of the embedded system are a function of its inputs and several other factors. The inputs to the system usually take the form of sensors Page 12 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System and probes, communication signals, or control knobs and buttons. The outputs are typically displays, communication signals, or changes to the physical world. Memory Inputs Processor Outputs Example of an Embedded System Other common design requirement include Processing power Memory Development cost Number of Units Expected Lifetime Reliability Processing power This is the amount of processing power necessary to get the hob done. A common way to compare processing power is the MIPS (millions of instructions per second) rating. Other important features of the processor need to be consider is register width, typically ranges from 8 to 64 bits. Page 13 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Memory: The amount of memory (ROM and RAM) required holding the executable software and data it manipulates. The amount of memory required can also affect the processor selection. In general, the register width off a processor establishes the upper limit of the amount of memory it can access. Development cost: The development cost of the hardware and software design processes is a fixed, one-time cost, so it might be that money is no object or that this is the only accurate measure of system cost. Number of units: The tradeoff between production cost and development cost is affected most by the number of units expected to be produced and sold. Expected lifetime: This indicates how long must the system continue to function? This affects all sorts of design decisions from the selection of hardware components to how much the system may cost to develop and produce. Reliability: How reliable must the final product be? If it is a children’s toy, it doesn’t always have to work right, but if it is part of a space shuttle or a car, it had sure better do what it is supposed to each and every time. The Basic Design – REALTIME: Designing Embedded systems is a challenging task. Most of the challenge comes from the fact that Embedded systems have to interact with real world entities. These interactions can get fairly complex. A typical Emebbed system might be interacting with thousands of such entities at the same time. For example, a telephone switching system routinely handles calls from tens of thousands of subscriber. The system has to connect each call differently. Also, the exact sequence of events in the call might vary a lot. Page 14 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Embedded systems have to respond to external interactions in a predetermined amount of time. Successful completion of an operation depends upon the correct and timely operation of the system. Design the hardware and the software in the system to meet the Realtime requirements. For example, a telephone switching system must feed dial tone to thousands of subscribers within a recommended limit of one second. To meet these requirements, the off hook detection mechanism and the software message communication involved have to work within the limited time budget. The system has to meet these requirements for all the calls being set up at any given time. The designers have to focus very early on the Realtime response requirements. During the architecture design phase, the hardware and software engineers work together to select the right system architecture that will meet the requirements. This involves deciding inter connectivity of the processors, link speeds, processor speeds, etc. The main queries to be asked are: Is the architecture suitable? If message communication involves too many nodes, it is likely that the system may not be able to meet the Realtime requirement due to even mild congestion. Thus a simpler architecture has a better chance of meeting the Realtime requirements. Are the processing components powerful enough? A CPU with really high utilization will lead to unpredictable Realtime behavior. Also, it is possible that the high priority tasks in the system will starve the low priority tasks of any CPU time. This can cause the low priority tasks to misbehave. Is the Operating System suitable? Assign high priority to tasks that are involved in processing Realtime critical events. Consider preemptive scheduling if Page 15 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Realtime requirements are stringent. When choosing the operating system, the interrupt latency and scheduling variance should be verified. o Scheduling variance refers to the predictability in task scheduling times. For example, a telephone switching system is expected to feed dialtone in less than 500 ms. This would typically involve scheduling three to five tasks within the stipulated time. Most operating systems would easily meet these numbers as far as the mean dialtone delay is concerned. But general purpose operating systems would have much higher standard deviation in the dialtone numbers. o Interrupt Latency refers to the delay with which the operating system can handle interrupts and schedule tasks to respond to the interrupt. Again, Embedded Systems based on real-time operating systems would have much lower interrupt latency. 6.MICROCONTROLLER Introduction: Microcontrollers are "embedded" inside some other device (often a consumer product) so that they can control the features or actions of the product. Another name for a microcontroller, therefore, is "embedded controller." Microcontrollers are dedicated to one task and run one specific program. The program is stored in ROM (read-only memory) and generally does not change. Microcontrollers are often low-power devices. A microcontroller has a dedicated input device and often (but not always) has a small LED or LCD display for output. A microcontroller also takes input from the Page 16 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System device it is controlling and controls the device by sending signals to different components in the device. For example, the microcontroller inside a TV takes input from the remote control and displays output on the TV screen. The controller controls the channel selector, the speaker system and certain adjustments on the picture tube electronics such as tint and brightness. The engine controller in a car takes input from sensors such as the oxygen and knock sensors and controls things like fuel mix and spark plug timing. A microwave oven controller takes input from a keypad, displays output on an LCD display and controls a relay that turns the microwave generator on and off. A microcontroller is often small and low cost. The components are chosen to minimize size and to be as inexpensive as possible. A microcontroller is often, but not always, ruggedized in some way. On the other hand, a microcontroller embedded inside a VCR hasn't been ruggedized at all. The actual processor used to implement a microcontroller can vary widely. Atmel 89c51 Microcontroller Description The AT89C51 is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8-bit microcomputer with 4K bytes of Flash programmable and erasable read only memory (PEROM) based on the famous 8051 architecture. The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high-density nonvolatile memory technology and is compatible with the industry-standard MCS-51 instruction set and pinout. The on-chip Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed in-system or by a conventional nonvolatile memory programmer. By combining a versatile 8-bit CPU with Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel AT89C51 is a powerful microcomputer which provides a highly-flexible and cost-effective solution to many embedded control applications. Features The AT89C51 provides the following standard features: Page 17 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Compatible with MCS-51 Products Endurance: 1,000 Write/Erase Cycles 4K Bytes of In-System Reprogrammable Flash Memory 128 bytes of Internal RAM (128 x 8-bit) 32 Programmable I/O Lines Two 16-bit Timer/Counters Five vector two-level interrupt architecture A full duplex serial port Three-level Program Memory Lock Six Interrupt Sources BLOCK DIAGRAM: Page 18 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Figure: Block Diagram of AT89c51 Microcontroller PIN CONFIGURATIONS: Page 19 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Figure: PDIP Type AT89c51 Pin Diagram PIN DESCRIPTION VCC Supply voltage. GND Ground. Port 0: Port 0 is an 8-bit open-drain bi-directional I/O port. As an output port, each pin can sink eight TTL inputs. When 1s are written to port 0 pins, the pins can be used as high impedance inputs. Port 0 may also be configured to be the multiplexed low order address/data bus during accesses to external program and data memory. In this mode P0 has internal pull-ups. Port 0 also receives the code bytes during Flash programming, and outputs the code bytes during program verification. External pull-ups are required during program verification. Port 1 Page 20 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Port 1 is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-ups. The Port 1 output buffers can sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 1 pins they are pulled high by the internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 1 pins that are externally being pulled low will source current (IIL) because of the internal pull-ups. Port 1 also receives the low-order address bytes during Flash programming and verification. Port 2 Port 2 is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-ups. The Port 2 output buffers can sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 2 pins they are pulled high by the internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs.As inputs, Port 2 pins that are externally being pulled low will source current (IIL) because of the internal pull-ups. Port 2 emits the high-order address byte during fetches from external program memory and during accesses to external data memory that uses 16-bit addresses (MOVX @ DPTR). In this application, it uses strong internal pull-ups when emitting 1s. Port 3 Port 3 is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-ups. The Port 3 output buffers can sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 3 pins they are pulled high by the internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 3 pins that are externally being pulled low will source current (IIL) because of the pull-ups. Port 3 also serves the functions of various special features of the AT89C51 as listed below: Port Pin Alternate Functions P3.0 RXD (serial input port) P3.1 TXD (serial output port) P3.2 INT0 (external interrupt 0) Page 21 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System P3.3 INT1 (external interrupt 1) P3.4 T0 (timer 0 external input) P3.5 T1 (timer 1 external input) P3.6 P3.7 WR (external data memory Write strobe) RD (external data memory read strobe) Port 3 also receives some control signals for Flash programming and verification. RST Reset input. A high on this pin for two machine cycles while the oscillator is running resets the device. ALE/PROG Address Latch Enable output pulse for latching the low byte of the address during accesses to external memory. This pin is also the program pulse input (PROG) during Flash programming. In normal operation ALE is emitted at a constant rate of 1/6 the oscillator frequency, and may be used for external timing or clocking purposes. Note, however, that one ALE pulse is skipped during each access to external Data Memory. If desired, ALE operation can be disabled by setting bit 0 of SFR location 8EH. With the bit set, ALE is active only during a MOVX or MOVC instruction. Otherwise, the pin is weakly pulled high. Setting the ALE-disable bit has no effect if the microcontroller is in external execution mode. PSEN Page 22 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Program Store Enable is the read strobe to external program memory. When the AT89C51 is executing code from external program memory, PSEN is activated twice each machine cycle, except that two PSEN activations are skipped during each access to external data memory. EA /VPP External Access Enable must be strapped to GND in order to enable the device to fetch code from external program memory locations starting at 0000H up to FFFFH. Note, however, that if lock bit 1 is programmed, EA will be internally latched on reset. EA should be strapped to VCC for internal program executions. This pin also receives the 12-volt programming enable voltage (VPP) during Flash programming, for parts that require 12-volt VPP. XTAL1 Input to the inverting oscillator amplifier and input to the internal clock operating circuit. XTAL2 Output from the inverting oscillator amplifier Oscillator Characteristics XTAL1 and XTAL2 are the input and output, respectively, of an inverting amplifier which can be configured for use as an on-chip oscillator, as shown in Figure 1. Either a quartz crystal or ceramic resonator may be used. To drive the device from an external clock source, XTAL2 should be left unconnected while XTAL1 is driven as shown in Figure 2. There are no requirements on the duty cycle of the external clock signal, since the input to the internal clocking circuitry is through a divide-by-two flip-flop, but minimum and maximum voltage high and low time specifications must be observed. Page 23 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Figure1: Oscillator Connections Figure 2: External Clock Drive Configuration How Oscillator works When quartz crystal is subjected to mechanical pressure, they produce a measurable electrical voltage conversely when an electric current is applied to a crystal, it will induce mechanical movement. If an ac is passed through the crystal plate the Page 24 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System charges oscillate back and front at the resonant frequency of crystal. f=12 ((1+C/CP)/(LC))) Quartz crystal exhibits a property called the piezo-electric effect that is they produce an electric voltage. When subjected to pressure along certain direction of the crystal because of this property quartz crystal has important application in electronics industry for controlling the frequency of radio waves.When piezo-electric crystal is used in place of LC circuit for higher frequency stability, the oscillator is called as crystal oscillator. Crystal oscillator is used for stability frequency for a long period of time. The resolution of 0.01 nm/s can be obtained. Crystal operates between fp and fs frequency (a very narrow bandwidth).

When lock bit 1 is programmed, the logic level at the EA pin is sampled and latched during reset. If the device is powered up without a reset, the latch initializes to a random value, and holds that value until reset is activated. It is necessary that the latched value of EA be in agreement with the current logic level at that pin in order for the device to function properly.

The programming interface accepts either a high-voltage (12-volt) or a low-voltage (VCC) program enable signal. The low-voltage programming mode provides a convenient way to program the AT89C51 inside the user’s system, while the high-voltage programming mode is compatible with conventional third-party Flash or EPROM programmers. Reading the Signature Bytes: The signature bytes are read by the same procedure as a normal verification of locations 030H, 031H, and 032H, except that P3.6 and P3.7 must be pulled to a logic low. The values returned are as follows. (030H) = 1EH indicates manufactured by Atmel (031H) = 51H indicates 89C51 (032H) = FFH indicates 12V programming (032H) = 05H indicates 5V programming. Programming Interface Every code byte in the Flash array can be written and the entire array can be erased by using the appropriate combination of control signals. The write operation cycle is self timed and once initiated, will automatically time itself to completion.

These motors rotate a specific incremental distance per each step. The number of steps executed controls the degree of rotation of the motor’s shaft. This characteristic makes step motors excellent for positioning applications. For example, a 1.8° step motor executing 100 steps will rotate exactly 180° with some small amount of non-cumulative error. The speed of step execution controls the rate of motor rotation. A 1.8° step motor executing steps at a speed of 200 steps per second will rotate at exactly 1 revolution per second. Geared motors can be very accurately controlled in terms of how far and how fast they will rotate. The number of steps the motor executes is equal to the number of pulse commands it is given. A step motor will rotate a distance and at a rate that is proportional to the number and frequency of its pulse commands. Basic Geared Motor System The diagram above shows a typical step motor based system. All of these parts must be present in one form or another. Each component’s performance will have an effect on the others. By altering the frequency of the pulse train, the pulse generator can instruct the motor to accelerate, run at a speed, decelerate or stop. A pulse generator must be present otherwise the motor will not move. Next is the motor driver. The driver takes the pulses from the pulse generator and determines how and when the windings should be energized. The windings must be energized in a specific sequence to generate motion. Finally there is the step motor itself. A step motor has two Page 31 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System primary parts; the rotor, the moving piece, and the stator, the stationary piece. The stator contains coils of wire called windings. The rotor spins on bearings or bushings inside the stator. All step motors operate through the principle of the rotor following a rotating magnetic field created by sequencing the flow of current through the stator windings. Each NMB step motor has two phases, which are groups of electrically connected windings. As current is passed through each phase, the motor takes “steps” or small movements to keep in synchronism with the magnetic field. The degree of rotation per step depends on the style of driver used and the construction of the motor. Step Motor Advantages: • Accuracy & Repeatability – Ability to position accurately. • Responsiveness & Quick Acceleration – Step motors have low rotor inertia, allowing them to get up to speed quickly. This makes step motors an excellent choice for short, quick moves. • Excellent torque for their size – Step motors have the highest torque per cubic inch of any motor. • Positioning Stability – Unlike other types of motors, step motors can be held completely motionless in their stopped position. Construction and Operating the Hybrid STEP MOTOR Figure 1a depicts a 1.8° hybrid step motor. The rotor contains a permanent magnet similar to those found in permanent magnet step motors. Hybrid rotors are axially magnetized, one end polarized north and the other polarized south. Both the rotor and the stator assemblies of hybrid motors have tooth-like projections. To understand the rotor’s interaction with the stator, examine the construction of a 1.8° (the most common resolution) hybrid step motor. The two cups are oriented so that the teeth of the top cup are offset to the teeth of the bottom cup by 3.6°. Second, the stator has a two-phase construction. The winding coils, 90° apart from one another, make up each phase. Each phase is wound so that the poles 180° apart are the same polarity, while the poles 90° apart are the opposite polarity. Page 32 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System When the current in a phase is reversed, is the polarity, meaning that any winding coil can be either a north pole or a south pole. As shown in fig. 1b below, when phase A is energized, the windings at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock are north poles and the windings at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock are south poles. The windings at 12 and 6 would attract the teeth of the magnetically south end of the rotor, and windings at 3 and 9 would attract the teeth of the magnetically north end of the rotor. . 7.2 CAPACITORS Introduction: Page 33 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System An electrolytic capacitor is a type of capacitor typically with a larger capacitance per unit volume than other types, making them valuable in relatively high-current and low-frequency electrical circuits. This is especially the case in power-supply filters, where they store charge needed to moderate output voltage and current fluctuations, in rectifier output, and especially in the absence of rechargeable batteries that can provide similar low-frequency current capacity. They are also widely used as coupling capacitors in circuits where AC should be conducted but DC should not; the large value of the capacitance allows them to pass very low frequencies. The electrolytic capacitor was invented in 1886 by Charles Pollack. It was largely responsible for the development of mains-powered radio receivers, since it permitted the filtering of the 50-60 hertz power supplied to residences, after it was rectified to power the radio tubes. This was not practical without the small volume and low cost of electrolytic capacitors. Construction Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are constructed from two conducting aluminum foils, one of which is coated with an insulating oxide layer, and a paper spacer soaked in electrolyte. The foil insulated by the oxide layer is the anode while the liquid electrolyte and the second foil act as cathode. This stack is then rolled up, fitted with pin connectors and placed in a cylindrical aluminum casing. The two most popular geometries are axial leads coming from the center of each circular face of the cylinder, or two radial leads or lugs on one of the circular faces. Both of these are shown in the picture Polarity In aluminum electrolytic capacitors, the layer of insulating aluminum oxide on the surface of the aluminum plate acts as the dielectric, and it is the thinness of this layer that allows for a relatively high capacitance in a small volume. The aluminum oxide layer can withstand an electric field strength of the order of 109 volts per meter. The combination of high capacitance and high voltage result in high energy density. Unlike most capacitors, electrolytic capacitors have a voltage polarity requirement. The correct polarity is indicated on the packaging by a stripe with minus signs and possibly arrowheads, denoting the adjacent terminal that should be more negative than the other. This is necessary because a reverse-bias voltage will destroy the center layer of dielectric material via electrochemical reduction (see redo reactions). Without the dielectric material the capacitor will short circuit, and if the short circuit current is excessive, then the electrolyte will heat up and either leak or cause the capacitor to explode. Modern capacitors have a safety valve, typically either a scored section of the can, or a specially designed end seal to vent the hot gas/liquid, but ruptures can still be dramatic. Electrolytic can withstand a reverse bias for a short period of time, but they will conduct significant current and not act as a very good capacitor. Most will survive with Page 34 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System no reverse DC bias or with only AC voltage, but circuits should be designed so that there is not a constant reverse bias for any significant amount of time. A constant forward bias is preferable, and will increase the life of the capacitor. These are the different schematic symbols for electrolytic capacitors. The minus or N marked side of the physical capacitor is equivalent to the node opposite to the plus sign on its symbolic equivalent. Tip: Take notice of the shape of the symbols and the placement of the positive and negative nodes, because most schematics do not print the "+", but rely on the symbol itself instead. note: caps in metal can have the color mark at the minus side ! Polarity of caps with wires: axial: the minus wire is connected to the case, the plus wire is isolated. radial = single ended: a vertical color stripe indicates the minus side. For the polarity of SMD caps see pica: Electrolyte The electrolyte is usually boric acid or sodium borate in aqueous solution together with various sugars or ethylene glycol which are added to retard evaporation. Care should be taken to avoid ingestion of or eye contact with the electrolyte, and any areas of the body where skin contact has occurred should be washed in good time. It is important to follow safe working practice and to use appropriate protective equipment, notably gloves Page 35 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System and safety glasses, when working with the electrolyte. Some very old tantalum electrolytic, often called "Wet-slug", contain the more hazardous sulfuric acid, however most of these are no longer in service due to corrosion. Capacitance The capacitance value of any capacitor is a measure of the amount of electric charge stored per unit of potential difference between the plates. The basic unit of capacitance is a farad, however this unit has been too large for general use until the invention of the Double-layer capacitor, so microfarad, nanofarad and microfarad are more commonly used. These are usually abbreviated to if or of, no and puff Many conditions determine a capacitor's value, such as the thickness of the dielectric and the plate area. In the manufacturing process, electrolytic capacitors are made to conform to a set of preferred numbers. By multiplying these base numbers by a power of ten, any practical capacitor value can be achieved, which is suitable for most applications. A standardized set of capacitor base numbers was devised so that the value of any modern electrolytic capacitor could be derived from multiplying one of the modern conventional base numbers 1.0, 1.5, 2.2, 3.3, 4.7 or 6.8 by a power of ten. Therefore, it is common to find capacitors with values of 10, 15, 22, 33, 47, 68, 100, 220, and so on. Using this method, values ranging from 0.1 to 4700 are common in most applications. Values are generally in microfarads (µF). Most electrolytic capacitors have a tolerance range of 20 %, meaning that the manufacturer is stating that the actual value of the capacitor lies within 20 % of its labeled value. Selection of the preferred series ensures that any capacitor can be sold as a standard value, within the tolerance. Page 36 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Super capacitor MC and BC series super capacitors (up to 3000 farad capacitance) produced by Maxwell Technologies Super capacitors, also known as ultra capacitors or electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLC), are electrochemical capacitors that have an unusually high energy density when compared to common capacitors, typically on the order of thousands of times greater than a high-capacity electrolytic capacitor. For instance, a typical D-cell sized electrolytic capacitor will have a storage capacity measured in microfarads, while the same size super capacitor would store several farads, an improvement of about 10,000 times. Larger commercial super capacitors have capacities as high as 5,000 farads. Super capacitors have a variety of commercial applications, notably in "energy smoothing" and momentary-load devices. Some of the earliest uses were motor startup capacitors for large engines in tanks and submarines, and as the cost has fallen they have started to appear on diesel trucks and railroad locomotives. More recently they have become a topic of some interest in the green energy world, where their ability to quickly soak up energy makes them particularly suitable for regenerative braking applications, whereas batteries have difficulty in this application due to slow charging times. If the LEES or Ester devices can be commercialized, they will make an excellent replacement for batteries in all-electric cars and plug-in hybrids, as they combine quick charging, temperature stability and excellent safety properties. Page 37 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Concept Comparison of construction diagrams of three capacitors. Left: "normal" capacitor, middle: electrolytic, right: super capacitor In a conventional capacitor, energy is stored by the removal of charge carriers, typically electrons, from one metal plate and depositing them on another. This charge separation creates a potential between the two plates, which can be harnessed in an external circuit. The total energy stored in this fashion is a combination of the number of charges stored and the potential between the plates. In contrast with traditional capacitors, super capacitors do not have a conventional dielectric, as such. They are based on a structure that contains an electrical double layer. In a double layer, the effective thickness of the "dielectric" is exceedingly thin—on the order of nanometers—and that, combined with the very large surface area, is responsible for their extraordinarily high capacitances in practical sizes. In an electrical double layer, each layer by itself is quite conductive, but the physics at the interface where the layers are effectively in contact means that no significant current can flow between the layers. However, the double layer can withstand only a low voltage, which means that super capacitors rated for higher voltages must be made of matched series-connected individual super capacitors, much like seriesconnected cells in higher-voltage batteries. Page 38 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System History: The super capacitor effect was first noticed in 1957 by General Electric engineers experimenting with devices using porous carbon electrode. It was believed that the energy was stored in the carbon pores and it exhibited "exceptionally high capacitance", although the mechanism was unknown at that time. General Electric did not immediately follow up on this work, and it was Standard Oil of Ohio that eventually developed the modern version of the devices in 1966 after accidentally re-discovering the effect while working on experimental fuel cell designs. Their cell design used two layers of activated charcoal separated by a thin porous insulator. Standard Oil also failed to commercialize their invention, licensing the technology to NEC, who finally marketed the results as “super capacitors” in 1978, to provide backup power for maintaining computer memory. In 2005, the ultra capacitor market was between US $272 million and $400 million, depending on the source. It is rapidly growing, especially in the automotive sector. Recently, all solid state micrometer-scale super capacitors based on advanced supersonic conductors had been recognized as critical electron component of future subvoltage and deep-sub-voltage nanoelectronics and related technologies (22 nm technological node of CMOS and beyond). Technology advantages Due to the capacitor's high number of charge-discharge cycles (millions or more compared to 200–1000 for most commercially available rechargeable batteries) there were no disposable parts during the whole operating life of the device, which makes the device environmentally friendly. storing energy from other sources for load balancing purposes and then using any excess energy to charge the batteries only at opportune times. Other advantages of super capacitors compared with rechargeable batteries are extremely low internal resistance or ESR, high efficiency (up to 97-98%), high output power, extremely low heating levels, and improved safety. According to ITS (Institute of Transportation Studies, Davis, CA) test results, the specific power of super capacitors can exceed 6 kW/kg at 95% efficiency The idea of replacing batteries with capacitors in conjunction with novel alternative energy sources became a conceptual umbrella of the Green Electricity (GEL) Initiative, introduced by Dr. Alexander Bell. Page 39 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Transportation applications China is experimenting with a new form of electric bus (casabas) that runs without power lines using power stored in large onboard super capacitors, which are quickly recharged whenever the electric bus stops at any bus stop (under so-called electric umbrellas), and fully charged in the terminus. A few prototypes were being tested in Shanghai in early 2005. In 2006, two commercial bus routes began to use super capacitor buses; one of them is route 11 in Shanghai. In 2001 and 2002, VAG, the public transport operator in Nuremberg, Germany tested a bus which used a diesel-electric drive system with super capacitors. Other companies from the public transport manufacturing sector are developing super capacitor technology: The Transportation Systems division of Siemens AG is developing a mobile energy storage based on double-layer capacitors called Subic Energy Storage and also Sitars SES, a stationary version integrated into the trackside power supply. The company Cudgeled is also developing a super capacitor-based energy storage system. Resistors, capacitors and inductors Resistor values are always coded in ohms, capacitors in microfarads (pF), inductors in micro henries (µH), and transformers in volts. band A is first significant figure of component value band B is the second significant figure band C is the decimal multiplier band D if present, indicates tolerance of value in percent (no color means 20%) For example, a resistor with bands of yellow, violet, red, and gold will have first digit 4 (yellow in table below), second digit 7 (violet), followed by 2 (red) zeros: 4,700 ohms. Gold signifies that the tolerance is ±5%, so the real resistance could lie anywhere between 4,465 and 4,935 ohms. Resistors manufactured for military use may also include a fifth band which indicates component failure rate (reliability); refer to MIL-HDBK-199 for further details. The Standard EIA Color Code Table per EIA-RS-279 is as follows: Page 40 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Color 1st band 2nd band 3rd band (multiplier) 4th band (tolerance) Temp. Coefficient Black 0 0 ×100 Brown 1 1 ×101 ±1% (F) 100 pap Red 2 2 ×102 ±2% (G) 50 pap Orange 3 3 ×103 15 pap Yellow 4 4 ×104 25 pap Green 5 5 ×105 ±0.5% (D) Blue 6 6 ×106 ±0.25% (C) Violet 7 7 ×107 ±0.1% (B) Grey 8 8 ×108 ±0.05% (A) White 9 9 ×109 Gold ×0.1 ±5% (J) Silver ×0.01 ±10% (K) None ±20% (M) Note: red to violet are the colors of the rainbow where red is low energy and violet is higher energy.

The microcontroller used (at89c51) requires 12v D.C supply. The DTMF receiver used (mt8870) requires 5v D.C. so design of these regulated power supply is also an important part in hardware design. The A.C power supply from mains is taken and regulated using the rectifiers. For design of a regulated power supply components used are: Transformer. Diodes. Rectifiers. Regulated IC chips. Capacitive filters. Trans former: A transformer is required to couple the mains to the actual power supply circuit. This is required to isolate the mains from the actual regulated power supply circuit and the other part of the kit. This isolation eliminates the dame of the kit to any power supply variations or from a faulty shock. Page 42 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System For a transformer shown below: i1 i2 V1 : V2 V1 = i2 = n1 V2 i1 n2 Diodes: In bride rectifier four diodes are used. The specifications of diodes are chosen as: PIV > input voltage. Si diode is better. Power dissipation is kept fixed with respect to current through the diode. Junction capacitance need not be considered for frequencies <1 kHz. RECTIFIERS: Rectification is a process of conversion of AC to DC. Here, the AC of transformer output is given to the rectifier input, which converts it to DC output. Basically, bridge rectifiers or diodes arranged in bridge called Diode arrangement are used for power supply design. A bridge rectifier makes use of four diodes in a bridge arrangement to achieve full-wave rectification. This is a widely used configuration, both with individual diodes wired as shown and with single component bridges where the diode bridge is wired internally Page 43 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Current Flow in the Bridge Rectifier For both positive and negative swings of the transformer, there is a forward path through the diode bridge. Both conduction paths cause current to flow in the same direction through the load resistor, accomplishing full-wave rectification. While one set of diodes is forward biased, the other set is reverse biased and effectively eliminated from the circuit. Diode Bridge: A diode bridge is an arrangement of four diodes connected in a bridge circuit as shownbelow, that provides the same polarity of output voltage for any polarity of the input voltage. When used in its most common application, for conversion of alternating current (AC) input into direct current (DC) output, it is known as a bridge rectifier. The diagram describes a diode-bridge design known as a full-wave rectifier or Graetz circuit. This design can be used to rectify single phase AC when no transformer center tap is available Bridge Rectifier Circuit: The essential feature of this arrangement is that for both polarities of the voltage at the bridge input, the polarity of the output is constant. Page 44 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Capacitors: Capacitive filters are used stabilized or perfect regulation of the voltage. The capacitive filters are opted because, they are more efficient. But they are also more costly. Different types of capacitors are: 1. Ceramic capacitors. 2. Electrolyte capacitors. 3. Paper/Mica capacitors. 4. Silver capacitors. 5. Tantalum capacitors. Ceramic, Paper/Mica, Silver are nonpolarized capacitors. Electrolyte and Tantalum are polarized capacitors. For high frequency, Ceramic capacitors are used. For low frequencies, Electrolyte capacitors are used. Linear regulated IC’s: Linear regulated IC’s are used for best regulated output. The output from these regulated IC’s is given to microcontroller and DTMF receiver. These linear regulated IC’s are self protective (any accidental shot circuit in the IC is grounded automatically). 78xx series ICs are used for ‘+ve’ supply. 79xx series ICs are used for ‘-ve’ supply. 78xx and 79xx series ICs are fixed voltage regulators. LM 317 is a variable voltage regulator.

The device consists of eight nun Darlington pairs that feature high-voltage outputs with common-cathode clamp diodes for switching inductive loads. The collector-current rating of each Darlington pair is 500 mA. The Darlington pairs may be connected in parallel for higher current capability. Applications include relay drivers, hammer drivers, lamp drivers, display drivers (LED and gas discharge), line drivers, and logic buffers. The ULN2803A has a 2.7ach Darlington pair for operation directly with TTL or 5-V CMOS devices. Page 46 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Logic diagram: LOGIC DIAGRAM FOR THE ULN2803buffer Page 47 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System MNEMONICS A useful mnemonic for remembering the first ten color codes matches the first letter of the color code, by order of increasing magnitude. There are many variations: Bad Beer Rots Our Young Guts But Vodka Goes Well Bright Boys Rave Over Young Girls But Veto Getting Wed B. B. R O Y of Great Britain has a Very Good Wife Big Boys Race Our Young Girls But Violet Generally Wins Better Be Right Or Your Great Big Venture Goes West Black Beauty Ran Over Yellow Grass By Violent Grey Waters Bad Boys Race Over Yonder Green But Victory Goes Wanting Black Birds Roam Over Your Garden But Vultures Go West Bye Bye Rosie Off You Go Birmingham Via Great Weston The word "Bad" in the first mnemonic and "Bright" in the second mnemonic are often replaced with the word "Black" since black comes before brown in the color code. While the second mnemonic is certainly the most offensive of these, all except the third lack a sobriety that might be desirable, especially in a teaching context. A more staid memory aide uses the fact that the central part of the code follows the color spectrum, without the i for indigo. That is, Black Brown Roy G. Big Gray White The most common variation of the mnemonic for the EIA color code generally doesn't stay posted on this page for long due to its choice of words which is more offensive to many today than when it was originated (mid 1920's). Refer to the discussion for details. Besides the ten colors of the main value code, the tolerance code is often remembered as "for Gold or Silver" appended to the more offensive mnemonic, or "Get Some Now" where Now refers to none for 20%. If it is difficult to recall that black comes before brown in the color code, it may be helpful to use the position of white at the end of the color code as a key to remember that black (and not brown) is at the beginning. Other languages have other mnemonics for this color code. A rough translation of the French is "Don't eat anything or I'll beat you violently, big animal." Page 48 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Examples From top to bottom: Green-Blue-Black-Black-Brown o 560 Ω ± 1% Red-Red-Orange-Gold o 22,000 Ω ± 5% Yellow-Violet-Brown-Gold o 470 Ω ± 5% Blue-Gray-Black-Gold o 68 Ω ± 5% Note: The sizes of the resistors depend only on the power they can dissipate, and do not affect their value. What do resistors do? Resistors limit current. In a typical application, a resistor is connected in series with an LED: Page 49 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Enough current flows to make the LED light up, but not so much that the LED is damaged. Later in this Chapter, you will find out how to calculate a suitable value for this resistor. (LEDs are described in detail in Chapter 5.) The 'box' symbol for a fixed resistor is popular in the UK and Europe. A 'zig-zag' symbol is used in America and Japan: Resistors are used with transducers to make sensor subsystems. Transducers are electronic components which convert energy from one form into another, where one of the forms of energy is electrical. A light dependent resistor, or LDR, is an example of an input transducer. Changes in the brightness of the light shining onto the surface of the LDR result in changes in its resistance. As will be explained later, an input transducer is most often connected along with a resistor to to make a circuit called a potential divider. In this case, the output of the potential divider will be a voltage signal which reflects changes in illumination. Microphones and switches are input transducers. Output transducers include loudspeakers, filament lamps and LEDs. Can you think of other examples of transducers of each type? Page 50 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System 7.4 COLOR CODING How can the value of a resistor be worked out from the colours of the bands? Each color represents a number according to the following scheme: Number Color 0 black 1 brown 2 red 3 orange 4 yellow 5 green 6 blue 7 violet 8 grey 9 white The first band on a resistor is interpreted as the FIRST DIGIT of the resistor value. For the resistor shown below, the first band is yellow, so the first digit is 4: Page 51 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System The second band gives the SECOND DIGIT. This is a violet band, making the second digit 7. The third band is called the MULTIPLIER and is not interpreted in quite the same way. The multiplier tells you how many nougats you should write after the digits you already have. A red band tells you to add 2 nougats. The value of this resistor is therefore 4 7 0 0 ohms, that is, 4 700 , or 4.7 . Work through this example again to confirm that you understand how to apply the color code given by the first three bands. The remaining band is called the TOLERANCE band. This indicates the percentage accuracy of the resistor value. Most carbon film resistors have a gold-colored tolerance band, indicating that the actual resistance value is with + or - 5% of the nominal value. Other tolerance colours are: Tolerance Color ±1% brown ±2% red ±5% gold ±10% silver When you want to read off a resistor value, look for the tolerance band, usually gold, and hold the resistor with the tolerance band at its right hand end. Reading resistor values quickly and accurately isn't difficult, but it does take practice!

Page 55 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System 8.2 SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT CYCLE Home » µVision3 Overview » Software Development Cycle When you use the Keil µVision3, the project development cycle is roughly the same as it is for any other software development project. 1. Create a project, select the target chip from the device database, and configure the tool settings. 2. Create source files in C or assembly. 3. Build your application with the project manager. 4. Correct errors in source files. 5. Test the linked application. The following block diagram illustrates the complete µVision3 software development cycle. Each component is described below. µVision3 IDE The µVision3 IDE combines project management, a rich-featured editor with interactive error correction, option setup, make facility, and on-line help. Use µVision3 to create your source files and organize them into a project that defines your target application. µVision3 automatically compiles, assembles, and links your embedded application and provides a single focal point for your development efforts. C Compiler & Macro Assembler Source files are created by the µVision3 IDE and are passed to the C or EC++ Compiler or Macro Assembler. The compiler and assembler process source files and create reloadable object files. Library Manager The library manager allows you to create object library from the object files created by the compiler and assembler. Libraries are specially formatted, ordered program collections of object modules that may be used by the linker at a later time. When the linker processes a library, only those object modules in the library that are necessary to create the program are used. Page 56 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Linker/Locator The Linker/Locator creates an executable program file using the object modules extracted from libraries and those created by the compiler and assembler. An executable program file (also called absolute object module) contains no reloadable code or data. All code and data reside at fixed memory locations. This executable program file may be used: To program an Flash ROM or other memory devices, With the µVision3 Debugger for simulation and target debugging, With an in-circuit emulator for the program testing. µVision3 Debugger The µVision3 symbolic, source-level debugger is ideally suited for fast, reliable program debugging.

Page 61 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Selecting a Generic Device Under the Generic section in the device database, you will find the following generic devices: 8031 (all Variants) 8032 (all Variants) 8051 (all Variants) 8052 (all Variants) C166 (all Variants) - Supports CPUs with no extended instruction set C167 (all Variants) - Supports CPUs with an extended instruction set ARM7 (all Variants) - Supports ARM7 based microcontrollers You may select one of these devices and then specify any necessary chip options in the in the Options for Target – Target dialog. For example on-chip memory may be specified as External Memory. Importing µVision 1 Projects Home » Creating Applications » Tips and Tricks » Importing µVision 1 Projects You can import project files from µVision1 by using the menu item Project Import µVision1 Project. This starts the following procedure: 1. Create a new µVision project file. It is important that the new µVision2/3 project file is created in the existing µVision1 project folder. 2. Select a CPU from the device database. 3. Select the old µVision1 project file that exists in the project folder. 4. This import the old µVision1 linker settings into the L166 dialogs. However, we recommend that you use the dialog µVision Options for Target – Target to define the memory structure of the target hardware. Once you have done that, you should open the dialog Options for Target – L166 / Lx51 Locate. Enable the option Use Memory Layout from Target and remove the settings for User Classes, User Segments, or User Sections in this dialog. 5. Check carefully if all settings are copied correctly to the new µVision project file. 6. You may now create file groups in the new µVision project. Then you can Drag & Drop files into the new file groups. Debugging Home » Debugging This chapter describes the Debug Mode of µVision3 and shows you how to use the user interface to test a sample program. Also discussed are simulation mode and the different options available for program debugging. Page 62 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System You can use µVision3 Debugger to test the applications you develop. The µVision3 Debugger offers two operating modes that are selected in the Options for Target – Debug dialog. Use Simulator configures the µVision3 Debugger as software-only product that simulates most features of a microcontroller without actually having target hardware. You can test and debug your embedded application before the hardware is ready. µVision3 simulates a wide variety of peripherals including the serial port, external I/O, and timers. The peripheral set is selected when you select a CPU from the device database for your target. Use Advanced GDI drivers, like the ULINK Debugger to interface to your target hardware. For µVision3 various drivers are available that interface to: o JTAG/OCDS Adapter: which connects to on-chip debugging systems like the ARM Embedded ICE. o Monitor: that may be integrated with user hardware or is available on many evaluation boards. o Emulator: which connects to the CPU pins of the target hardware. o In-System Debugger: which is part of the user application program and provides basic test functions. o Test Hardware: such as the Infineon Smartcard ROM Monitor RM66P or the Philips Smarm Box. Flash Programming Home » Flash Programming µVision3 integrates Flash Programming Utilities in the project environment. All configurations are saved in context with your current project. You may use external command-line driven utilities (usually provided by the chip vendor) or the Keil ULINK USB-JTAG Adapter. The Flash Programming Utilities are configured under Project - Options - Utilities. Flash Programming may be started from the Flash Menu or before starting the µVision3 Debugger when you enable Project - Options - Utilities - Update Target before Debugging. Measure - Project File Home » Example Programs » Measure: A Remote Measurement System » Measure Project File The project file for the MEASURE sample program is called Measure.UV2. To load this project file, use Open Project from the Project menu and select Measure.UV2 in the folder ...\ARM\...\Examples\Measure. Page 63 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System The Files page in the Project Workspace shows the source files that compose the MEASURE project. The three application related source files that are located in the Source Files group. The function of the source files is described below. To open a source file, double-click on the filename. Measure’s: contains the main C function for the measurement system and the interrupt routine for timer 0. The main function initializes all peripherals of the ARM and performs command processing for the system. The timer interrupt routine, timer0, manages the real-time clock and the measurement sampling of the system. MCommand.C: processes the display, time, and interval commands. These functions are called from main. The display command lists the analog values in floating-point format to give a voltage between 0.00V and 5.00V. GetLine.C: contains the command-line editor for characters received from the serial port. IRQ.S: is an interface module for the interrupt service routine. Compiling and Linking Measure Home » Example Programs » Measure: A Remote Measurement System » Compiling and Linking Measure When you are ready to compile and link the MEASURE project, use the Build Target command from the Project menu or the toolbar. µVision3 begins to compile and link the source files in MEASURE and displays a message when the build is finished. Once the project is built, you are ready to browse the symbol information or begin testing. Page 64 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Testing Measure Home » Example Programs » Measure: A Remote Measurement System » Testing Measure The MEASURE sample program is designed to accept commands from the onchip serial port. If you have actual target hardware, you can use a terminal simulation to communicate with the ARM CPU. If you do not have target hardware, you can use µVision3 to simulate the hardware. You can also use the serial window in µVision3 to provide serial input. Once the MEASURE program is build, you can test it. Use the Start/Stop Debug Session command from the Debug menu to start the µVision3 debugger. Remote Measurement System Commands The serial commands that MEASURE supports are listed in the following table. These commands are composed of ASCII text characters. Command Serial Text Description Clear C Clears the measurement record buffer. Display D Displays the current time and input values. T Time Sets the current time in 24-hour format. hh:mm:ss Sets the interval time for the measurement samples. The Interval I mm:ss.ttt interval time must be between 0:00.001 (for 1ms) and 60:00.000 (for 60 minutes). Starts the measurement recording. After receiving the start Start S command, MEASURE samples all data inputs at the specified interval. Displays the recorded measurements. You may specify the number of most recent samples to display with the read command. If no count is specified, the read command Read R [count] transmits all recorded measurements. You can read measurements on the fly if the interval time is more than 1 second. Otherwise, the recording must be stopped. Quit Q Quits the measurement recording. View Program Code Home » Example Programs » Measure: A Remote Measurement System » View Program Code µVision3 lets you view the program code in the Disassembly Window that opens with the View menu or the toolbar button. The Disassembly Window shows intermixed source and assembly lines. You may change the view mode or use other commands from the local menu that opens with the right mouse button. Page 65 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System View Memory Contents Home » Example Programs » Measure: A Remote Measurement System » View Memory Contents µVision3 displays memory in various formats. The Memory Window opens via the View menu or the toolbar button. You can enter the address of four different memory areas in the pages. The local menu allows you to modify the memory contents or select different output formats. Page 66 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System Program Execution Home » Example Programs » Measure: A Remote Measurement System » Program Execution Before you begin simulating MEASURE, open the Serial Window #1 that displays the serial output with the View menu or the Debug toolbar. You may disable other windows if your screen is not large enough. You can use the Step toolbar buttons on assembler instructions or source code lines. If the Disassembly Window is active, you single step at assembly instruction basis. If an editor window with source code is active, you single step at source code level. Call Stack Home » Example Programs » Measure: A Remote Measurement System » Call Stack µVision3 internally tracks function nesting as the program executes. The Call Stack page of the Watch Window shows the current function nesting. A double click on a line displays the source code that called the selected function. Breakpoints Dialog Home » Example Programs » Measure: A Remote Measurement System » Breakpoints Dialog Page 67 Intelligent Train Engine with Gate Control System µVision3 also supports complex breakpoints as discussed on page 109. You may want to halt program execution when a variable contains a certain value. The example shows how to stop when the value 3 is written to current.time.sec. Open the Breakpoints dialog from the Debug menu. Enter as expression current.time.sec==3. Select the Write check box (this option specifies that the break condition is tested only when the expression is written to). Click on the Define button to set the breakpoint. To test the breakpoint condition perform the following steps: Symbol Description Reset CPU. If program execution is halted begin executing the MEASURE program. After a few seconds, µVision3 halts execution. The program counter line in the debug window marks the line in which the breakpoint occurred. Using Peripheral Dialog Boxes µVision3 provides dialogs for: I/O Ports, Interrupts, Timers, A/D Converter, Serial Ports, and chip-specific peripherals. These dialogs can be opened from the Debug menu. For the MEASURE application you may open I/O Ports:Port2 and A/D Converter. Each of these dialogs lists the related SFR symbols and shows the current status of the peripherals. To change the inputs, change the values of the Pins or Analog Input Channels. Using VTREG Symbols In the Command page of the Output Window, you may make assignments to the VTREG symbols just like variables and registers. For example: PORT2=0xDA00 set digital input PORT2 to 0xDA00. AIN1=3.3 set analog input AIN1 to 3.3 volts. Using User and Signal Functions You may combine the use of VTREG symbols defined by the CPU driver and µVision3 user and signal functions to create a sophisticated method of providing external input to your target programs. The Analog Example shows a signal function that provides input to AIN0.
