    HARDWARE DESIGN

    Introduction

    In this chapter we are going to cover all parts of Automatic station indicator system for

    railways in detailed manner and their functions in brief. Here we are more interested about the

    Microcontroller since it is the heart of the project. So the complete architecture is explained and

    also significance of the Microcontroller.

    Hardware Tools:

    1. Microcontroller AT89S52.2. RF receiver and transmitter3. RF encoder and decoder.4. LCD

    MICRO CONTROLLER (AT89S51)

    Introduction

    A Micro controller consists of a powerful CPU tightly coupled with memory, various I/O

    interfaces such as serial port, parallel port timer or counter, interrupt controller, data acquisition

    interfaces-Analog to Digital converter, Digital to Analog converter, integrated on to a single

    silicon chip.

    If a system is developed with a microprocessor, the designer has to go for external

    memory such as RAM, ROM, EPROM and peripherals. But controller is provided all these

    facilities on a single chip. Development of a Micro controller reduces PCB size and cost of

    design.

    One of the major differences between a Microprocessor and a Micro controller is that a

    controller often deals with bits not bytes as in the real world application.

    Intel has introduced a family of Micro controllers called the MCS-51.

    Description

    The AT89S51 is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8-bit microcontroller with 4K bytes of in-

    system programmable Flash memory. The device is manufactured using Atmels high-density

    nonvolatile memory technology and is compatible with the industry- standard 80C51 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 in-system

    programmable Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel AT89S51 is a powerful microcontroller which

    provides a highly-flexible and cost-effective solution to many embedded control applications.

    Pin Description

    VCC - Supply voltage.

    GND - Ground.

    Port 0:

    Port 0 is an 8-bit open drain bidirectional 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

    can also be configured to be the multiplexed low-order address/data bus during accesses to external

  • 7/27/2019 4 HARDWARE COMPONENTS.docx

    5/44

    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:

    Port 1 is an 8-bit bidirectional 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 bidirectional 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 also receives the high-order address bits

    and some control signals during Flash programming and verification.

    Port 3:

  • 7/27/2019 4 HARDWARE COMPONENTS.docx

    6/44

    Port 3 is an 8-bit bidirectional 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 receives some control signals for Flash

    programming and verification. Port 3 also serves the functions of various special features of the

    AT89S51, as shown in the following table.

    RST:

    Reset input. A high on this pin for two machine cycles while the oscillator is running resets the

    device. This pin drives High for 98 oscillator periods after the Watchdog times out. The DISRTO bit

    in SFR AUXR (address 8EH) can be used to disable this feature. In the default state of bit DISRTO,

    the RESET HIGH out feature is enabled.

    ALE/PROG:

    Address Latch Enable (ALE) is an 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

  • 7/27/2019 4 HARDWARE COMPONENTS.docx

    7/44

    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:

    Program Store Enable (PSEN) is the read strobe to external program memory. When the

    AT89S51 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. EA 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.

    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 Figs 6.2.3. Either a quartz

    crystal or ceramic resonator may be used. To drive the device from an external clock source,

  • 7/27/2019 4 HARDWARE COMPONENTS.docx

    8/44

    XTAL2 should be left unconnected while XTAL1 is driven as shown in Figure 6.2.4.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.

    REGULATED POWER SUPPLY

    The power supplies are designed to convert high voltage AC mains electricity to a

    suitable low voltage supply for electronics circuits and other devices. A RPS (Regulated Power

    Supply) is the Power Supply with Rectification, Filtering and Regulation being done on the AC

    mains to get a Regulated power supply for Microcontroller and for the other devices being

    interfaced to it.

    A power supply can by broken down into a series of blocks, each of which performs aparticular function. A d.c power supply which maintains the output voltage constant irrespective

    of a.c mains fluctuations or load variations is known as Regulated D.C Power Supply

    For example a 5V regulated power supply system as shown below:

    9/44

    Transformer:

    A transformer is an electrical device which is used to convert electrical power from one

    Electrical circuit to another without change in frequency.

    Transformers convert AC electricity from one voltage to another with little loss of

    power. Transformers work only with AC and this is one of the reasons why mains electricity is

    AC. Step-up transformers increase in output voltage, step-down transformers decrease in output

    voltage. Most power supplies use a step-down transformer to reduce the dangerously high mains

    voltage to a safer low voltage. The input coil is called the primary and the output coil is called

    the secondary. There is no electrical connection between the two coils; instead they are linked by

    an alternating magnetic field created in the soft-iron core of the transformer. The two lines in the

    middle of the circuit symbol represent the core. Transformers waste very little power so the

    power out is (almost) equal to the power in. Note that as voltage is stepped down current is

    stepped up. The ratio of the number of turns on each coil, called the turns ratio, determines the

    ratio of the voltages. A step-down transformer has a large number of turns on its primary (input)

  • 7/27/2019 4 HARDWARE COMPONENTS.docx

    10/44

    coil which is connected to the high voltage mains supply, and a small number of turns on its

    secondary (output) coil to give a low output voltage.

    An Electrical Transformer

    Turns ratio = Vp/ VS = Np/NS

    Power Out= Power In

    VS X IS=VP X IP

    Vp = primary (input) voltage

    Np = number of turns on primary coil

    Ip = primary (input) current

    RECTIFIER:

    A circuit which is used to convert a.c to dc is known as RECTIFIER. The process ofconversion a.c to d.c is called rectification

    Full-wave Rectifier:

    From the above comparison we came to know that full wave bridge rectifier as more

    advantages than the other two rectifiers. So, in our project we are using full wave bridge rectifier

    circuit.

    Bridge Rectifier:

    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.

    A bridge rectifier makes use of four diodes in a bridge arrangement as shown in fig (a) 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.

    During positive half cycle of secondary, the diodes D2 and D3 are in forward biased while D1

    and D4 are in reverse biased as shown in the fig(b). The current flow direction is shown in the fig

    (b) with dotted arrows.

    Filter:

    A Filter is a device which removes the a.c component of rectifier output but allows the

    d.c component to reach the load.

  • 7/27/2019 4 HARDWARE COMPONENTS.docx

    14/44

    Capacitor Filter:

    We have seen that the ripple content in the rectified output of half wave rectifier is

    121% or that of full-wave or bridge rectifier or bridge rectifier is 48% such high percentages of

    ripples is not acceptable for most of the applications. Ripples can be removed by one of the

    following methods of filtering.

    (a) A capacitor, in parallel to the load, provides an easier by pass for the ripples voltage though

    it due to low impedance. At ripple frequency and leave the D.C. to appear at the load.

    (b) An inductor, in series with the load, prevents the passage of the ripple current (due to high

    impedance at ripple frequency) while allowing the d.c (due to low resistance to d.c).

    (c) Various combinations of capacitor and inductor, such as L-section filter section filter,

    multiple section filter etc. which make use of both the properties mentioned in (a) and (b) above.

    Two cases of capacitor filter, one applied on half wave rectifier and another with full wave

    rectifier.

    Filtering is performed by a large value electrolytic capacitor connected across the DC

    supply to act as a reservoir, supplying current to the output when the varying DC voltage from

    the rectifier is falling. The capacitor charges quickly near the peak of the varying DC, and then

    discharges as it supplies current to the output. Filtering significantly increases the average DC

    voltage to almost the peak value (1.4 RMS value).

    To calculate the value of capacitor(C),

    C = *3*f*r*Rl

    Where,

    f = supply frequency,

    r = ripple factor,

    Rl = load resistance

    Note: In our circuit we are using 1000F hence large value of capacitor is placed to

    reduce ripples and to improve the DC component.

    Regulator:

  • 7/27/2019 4 HARDWARE COMPONENTS.docx

    15/44

    Voltage regulator ICs is available with fixed (typically 5, 12 and 15V) or variable

    output voltages. The maximum current they can pass also rates them. Negative voltage regulators

    are available, mainly for use in dual supplies. Most regulators include some automatic protection

    from excessive current ('overload protection') and overheating ('thermal protection'). Many of

    the fixed voltage regulators ICs have 3 leads and look like power transistors, such as the 7805

    +5V 1A regulator shown on the right. The LM7805 is simple to use. You simply connect the

    positive lead of your unregulated DC power supply (anything from 9VDC to 24VDC) to the

    Input pin, connect the negative lead to the Common pin and then when you turn on the power,

    you get a 5 volt supply from the output pin.

    effective output impedance improvement of two orders of magnitude, lower quiescent current.

    Liquid Crystal Display

    Introduction to LCD:

    In recent years the LCD is finding widespread use replacing LED s (seven-segment LED or other

    multi segment LED s). This is due to the following reasons:

    1. The declining prices of LCD s.2. The ability to display numbers, characters and graphics. This is in

    contract to LED s, which are limited to numbers and a few characters.

    3. Incorporation of a refreshing controller into the LCD, there by relieving the CPU of thetask of refreshing the LCD. In the contrast, the LED must be refreshed by the CPU to

    keep displaying the data.

    4. Ease of programming for characters and graphics.

    USES:

    The LCD s used exclusively in watches, calculators and measuring instruments is the

    simple seven-segment displays, having a limited amount of numeric data. The recent advances in

    technology have resulted in better legibility, more information displaying capability and a wider

  • 7/27/2019 4 HARDWARE COMPONENTS.docx

    17/44

    temperature range. These have resulted in the LCD s being extensively used in

    telecommunications and entertainment electronics. The LCD s has even started replacing the

    cathode ray tubes (CRTs) used for the display of text and graphics, and also in small TV

    applications.

    plate is attached to a metal plate with adhesives.

    Fig. 2 shows the oscillating system of a piezoelectric diaphragm. Applying D.C. voltage

    between electrodes of a piezoelectric diaphragm causes mechanical distortion due to the

    piezoelectric effect. For a misshaped piezoelectric element, the distortion of the piezoelectric

    element expands in a radial direction. And the piezoelectric diaphragm bends toward the

    direction shown in Fig.2 (a).

  • 7/27/2019 4 HARDWARE COMPONENTS.docx

    22/44

    The metal plate bonded to the piezoelectric element does not expand. Conversely, when

    the piezoelectric element shrinks, the piezoelectric diaphragm bends in the direction shown in

    Fig.2 (b). Thus, when AC voltage is applied across electrodes, the bending shown in Fig.2 (a)

    and Fig.2 (b) is repeated as shown in Fig.2 (c), producing sound waves in the air.

    DESIGN PROCEDURES:

    In general, man's audible frequency range is about 20 Hz to 20kHz. Frequency ranges of

    2kHz to 4kHz are most easily heard. For this reason, most piezoelectric sound components areused in this frequency range, and the resonant frequency (f0) is generally selected in the same

    range too. As shown in Fig. 3, the resonant frequency depends on methods used to support the

    piezoelectric diaphragm. If piezoelectric diaphragms are of the same shape, their values will

    become smaller in the order of (a), (b) and (c).

  • 7/27/2019 4 HARDWARE COMPONENTS.docx

    23/44

    In general, the piezoelectric diaphragm is installed in a cavity to produce high sound

    pressure. The resonant frequency (fcav) of the cavity in is obtained from Formula (1)

    (Helmholtz's Formula). Since the piezoelectric diaphragm and cavity have proper resonant

    frequencies, (f0) and (fcav) respectively, sound pressure in specific frequencies can be increased

    and a specific bandwidth can be provided by controlling both positions.

    RF transmitter section:

    RF transmitters are electronic devices that create continuously varying electric current, encode

    sine waves, and broadcast radio waves. RF transmitters use oscillators to create sine waves, the simplest

    and smoothest form of continuously varying waves, which contain information such as audio and video.

    Modulators encode these sign wives and antennas broadcast them as radio signals. There are several

    ways to encode or modulate this information, including amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency

    modulation (FM). Radio techniques limit localized interference and noise. With direct sequence spread

    spectrum, signals are spread over a large band by multiplexing the signal with a code or signature that

    modulates each bit. With frequency hopping spread spectrum, signals move through a narrow set of

    channels in a sequential, cyclical, and predetermined pattern.

    Selecting RF transmitters requires an understanding of modulation methods such as AM and

    FM. On-off key (OOK), the simplest form of modulation, consists of turning the signal on or off.

    Amplitude modulation (AM) causes the base band signal to vary the amplitude or height of the carrier

  • 7/27/2019 4 HARDWARE COMPONENTS.docx

    24/44

    wave to create the desired information content. Frequency modulation (FM) causes the instantaneous

    frequency of a sine wave carrier to depart from the center frequency by an amount proportional to the

    instantaneous value of the modulating signal. Amplitude shift key (ASK) transmits data by varying the

    amplitude of the transmitted signal. Frequency shift key (FSK) is a digital modulation scheme using two

    or more output frequencies. Phase shift key (PSK) is a digital modulation scheme in which the phase of

    the transmitted signal is varied in accordance with the base band data signal.

    Additional considerations when selecting RF transmitters include supply voltage, supply current,

    RF connectors, special features, and packaging. Some RF transmitters include visual or audible alarms or

    LED indicators that signal operating modes such as power on or reception. Other devices attach to

    coaxial cables or include a connector or port to which an antenna can be attached. Typically, RFtransmitters that are rated for outdoor use feature a heavy-duty waterproof design. Devices with

    internal calibration and a frequency range switch are also available.

    RF transmitters are used in a variety of applications and industries. Often, devices that are used

    with integrated circuits (ICs) incorporate surface mount technology (SMT), through hole technology

    (THT), and flat pack. In the telecommunications industry, RF transmitters are designed to fit in a

    metal rack that can be installed in a cabinet. RF transmitters are also used in radios and in electronic

    article surveillance systems (EAS) found in retail stores. Inventory management systems use RF

    transmitters as an alternative to barcodes.

    General Description

    The 212 encoders are a series of CMOS LSIs for remote control system applications. They are capable of

    encoding information which consists of N address bits and 12_N data bits. Each address/data input can

    be set to one of the two logic states. The programmed addresses/data are transmitted together with the

    header bits via an RF or an infrared transmission medium upon receipt of a trigger signal. The capability

    to select a TE trigger on the HT12E or a DATA trigger on the HT12A further enhances the application

    flexibility of the 212 series of encoders. The HT12A additionally provides a 38kHz carrier for infrared

    systems.

    RF receiver section:

    RF receivers are electronic devices that separate radio signals from one another and convert

    specific signals into audio, video, or data formats. RF receivers use an antenna to receive transmitted

    radio signals and a tuner to separate a specific signal from all of the other signals that the antenna

    receives. Detectors or demodulators then extract information that was encoded before transmission.

    There are several ways to decode or modulate this information, including amplitude modulation (AM)

    and frequency modulation (FM). Radio techniques limit localized interference and noise. With direct

    sequence spread spectrum, signals are spread over a large band by multiplexing the signal with a code

    or signature that modulates each bit. With frequency hopping spread spectrum, signals move through a

    narrow set of channels in a sequential, cyclical, and predetermined pattern.

    Selecting RF receivers requires an understanding of modulation methods such as AM

    and FM. On-off key (OOK), the simplest form of modulation, consists of turning the signal on or off.

    Amplitude modulation (AM) causes the base band signal to vary the amplitude or height of the carrier

    wave to create the desired information content. Frequency modulation (FM) causes the instantaneous

    frequency of a sine wave carrier to depart from the center frequency by an amount proportional to the

    instantaneous value of the modulating signal. Amplitude shift key (ASK) transmits data by varying the

    amplitude of the transmitted signal. Frequency shift key (FSK) is a digital modulation scheme using two

    or more output frequencies. Phase shift key (PSK) is a digital modulation scheme in which the phase of

    the transmitted signal is varied in accordance with the base band data signal.

    RF receivers vary in terms of performance specifications such as sensitivity, digital

    sampling rate, measurement resolution, operating frequency, and communication interface. Sensitivity

    is the minimum input signal required to produce a specified output signal having a specified signal-to-

    noise (S/N) ratio. Digital sampling rate is the rate at which samples can be drawn from a digital signal in

    kilo samples per second. Measurement resolution is the minimum digital resolution, while operating

    frequency is the range of received signals. Communication interface is the method used to output data

    to computers. Parallel interfaces include general-purpose interface bus (GPIB), which is also known as

    IEEE 488 and HPIB Protocol. Serial interfaces include universal serial bus (USB), RS232, and RS485.

    Additional considerations when selecting RF receivers include supply voltage, supply

    current, receiver inputs, RF connectors, special features, and packaging. Some RF receivers include visual

    or audible alarms or LED indicators that signal operating modes such as power on or reception. Otherdevices attach to coaxial cables or include a connector or port to which an antenna can be attached.

    Typically, RF receivers that are rated for outdoor use feature a heavy-duty waterproof design. Devices

    with internal calibration and a frequency range switch are also available.

    General Description

    The 212 decoders are a series of CMOS LSIs for remote control system applications. They are

    paired with Holteks 212 series of encoders (refer to the encoder/decoder cross reference table). For

    proper operation, a pair of encoder/decoder with the same number of addresses and data format

    should be chosen. The decoders receive serial addresses and data from a programmed 212 series of

    encoders that are transmitted by a carrier using an RF or an IR transmission medium. They compare the

    serial input data three times continuously with their local addresses. If no error or unmatched codes are

    found, the input data codes are decoded and then transferred to the output pins. The VT pin also goes

    high to indicate a valid transmission. The 212 series of decoders are capable of decoding informations

    that consist of N bits of address and 12_N bits of data. Of this series, the HT12D is arranged to provide 8

    address bits and 4 data bits, and HT12F is used to decode 12 bits of address information.

    Notes: Data type: L stands for latch type data output.

    VT can be used as a momentary data output.

    Functional Description

    Operation

    The 212 series of decoders provides various combinations of addresses and data pins in different

    packages so as to pair with the 212 series of encoders. The decoders receive data that are transmitted

    by an encoder and interpret the first N bits of code period as addresses and the last 12_N bits as data,

    where N is the address code number. A signal on the DIN pin activates the oscillator, which in turn

    decodes the incoming address and data. The decoders will then check the received address three times

    continuously. If the received address codes all match the contents of the decoders local address, the

    12_N bits of data are decoded to activate the output pins and the VT pin is set high to indicate a valid

    transmission. This will last unless the address code is incorrect or no signal is received. The output of the

    VT pin is high only when the transmission is valid. Otherwise it is always low.

    Output type

    Of the 212 series of decoders, the HT12F has no data output pin but its VT pin can be used as a

    momentary data output. The HT12D, on the other hand, provides 4 latch type data pins whose data

    remain unchanged until new data are received.

    Flowchart

    The oscillator is disabled in the standby state and activated when a logic _high_ signal applies to the DIN

    pin. That is to say, the DIN should be kept low if there is no signal input.
