DC Motor interfacing with 8051 microcontroller

A motor is a device which allows low-horsepower motors to drive a great deal of force on an object with low speed. It consists of a reduction gear train and an electric motor, which both come fully integrated into an easily mountable and configurable system.
Motor Types:
Industrial motors come in a variety of basic types. These variations are suitable for many different applications. Naturally, some types of motors are more suited for certain applications than other motor types are. This document will hopefully give some guidance in selecting these motors.
  • AC Motors
  • DC Motors
  • Brushless DC Motors
  • Servo Motors
  • Brushed DC Servo Motors
  • Brushless AC Servo Motors
  • Stepper Motors
  • Linear Motors

AC Motors

The most common and simple industrial motor is the three phase AC induction motor, sometimes known as the "squirrel cage" motor. Substantial information can be found about any motor by checking its (nameplate).

Advantages

  • Simple Design
  • Low Cost
  • Reliable Operation
  • Easily Found Replacements
  • Variety of Mounting Styles
  • Many Different Environmental Enclosures
Disadvantages

  • Expensive speed control
  • Inability to operate at low speeds
  • Poor positioning control
DC Motors

The brushed DC motor is one of the earliest motor designs. Today, it is the motor of choice in the majority of variable speed and torque control applications.

Advantages
  • Easy to understand design
  • Easy to control speed
  • Easy to control torque
  • Simple, cheap drive design
Disadvantages
  • Expensive to produce
  • Can't reliably control at lowest speeds
  • Physically larger
  • High maintenance
  • Dust

Interfacing:


 
L923D is the current driver IC acts as an intermediate IC

This code is for DC motor interfacing with Microcontroller with a switch is connected to P2.7 pin and monitor the status by rotating DC motor in clockwise direction and anticlockwise direction.

Code:

#include "REG52.h"

#define SW P2^7
#define Enable P1^0
#define MTR_1 P1^1
#define MTR_2 P1^2

void main ()
{
SW=1; //DC motor will rotate in anticlockwise direction.
Enable=0;
MTR_1=0;
MTR_2=0;
while(1)
{
Enable=1;
if(SW==1)
{
MTR_1=1;
MTR_2=0;
}
else
{
MTR_1=0;
MTR_2=1;
}
}
}

Explanation of code:

- Connect the motor +ve and -ve to any port of microcontroller through L293D motor driver IC. As, single pin of microcontroller can not directly drive the motor. Now, give "logic 1" to one end and other "logic 0" so that motor can rotate.

If you want to make motor to move in positive direction, give logic 1 to =ve terminal of the motor and logic 0 to -ve. Similarly, you can move motor in backward directly by giving reverse polarity.

Buzzer interface with 8051 microcontroller

Buzzer  is a electronic device that converts the electronic signal into buzzing noise, that is applied to it. It can be used as electronic bell or as quiz buzzer in many applications around us. Here, i world like to discuss the interfacing of a small buzzer with 8051 microcontroller and how different projects can be constructed. Buzzer Interfacing: This project shows the interface with AT89S52 microcontroller to a buzzer. When a push button is pressed, the buzzer will get ON and OFF ( number of times set in the code ) and then stops. Circuit Diagram: - The port P1 of the microcontroller is connected to buzzer. This type of connection is possible, if the current requirements of the buzzer is not more than 20mA. The output is in current source mode so that buzzer will turn ON when the output of the port is logic LOW. Switch is connected to port P3 which remains at logic HIGH by pull up resistor.  Code: #include "REG52.h" #define buz P1 sbit SW=P3^0; long i...

Different ways to generate delays in 8051

The delay length in 8051 microcontroller depends on three factors: The crystal frequency the number of clock per machine the C compiler. The original 8051 used 1/12 of the crystal oscillator frequency as one machine cycle. In other words, each machine cycle is equal to 12 clocks period of the crystal frequency connected to X1-X2 pins of 8051. To speed up the 8051, many recent versions of the 8051 have reduced the number of clocks per machine cycle from 12 to four, or even one. The frequency for the timer is always 1/12th the frequency of the crystal attached to the 8051, regardless of the 8051 version. In other words, AT89C51, DS5000, and DS89C4x0 the duration of the time to execute an instruction varies, but they all use 1/12th of the crystal's oscillator frequency for the clock source. 8051 has two different ways to generate time delay using C programming, regardless of 8051 version. The first method is simply using Loop   program function in which Delay() funct...

How to Switch OFF Citizen Calculator

You might be confused on seeing no OFF button on your calculator. Actually, these are general calculator available at low cost in the market. They process simple calculations like division, subtraction, Addition, Multiplication. But, how will you OFF that calculator having no option on them. There is always a trick which OFF them. It depends on the company calculator and their series to which they belong. I can tell you about Citizen Calculator CT-500 (as you can see in the image), how can you switch OFF it and can save battery too. If you leave calculator idle for 6-7 minutes, it will goes OFF automatically. My calculator goes OFF in 6.50 minutes from the point of leaving it idle. But, this is not the power saving trick for these types of calculator having not much backup battery. To save the power of your normal calculator, here is the trick to switch OFF it. Press ' /(divide sign)', 'x(multiply sign)', '%(percentage sign)', 'autoreplay option(...
