CONVEYOR AUTOMATION USING EMBEDDED SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
In contrast to a desktop PC that performs a variety of tasks, a microcontroller
performs a single, well-defined task. An embedded system has a microprocessor,
associated peripherals and software intended for a specific purpose. The hardware
is generally built for the system's specific purpose.
The project is designed of a remote area and logs the information at a base
station using wireless technology. The hardware connected with AT89C51
microcontroller collects the sensor's data. The micro-controller will sense the object,
whether the belt is with the motor or not. Monitors the temperature and voltage, the
data are transmitted to the base station. At the receiver end, another micro-controller
receives and buffers the incoming data and them it is displayed in the PC.
