Review: Android Based Induction Motor Control System

Bluetooth is the buzz word, while designing any automation system for study purpose. Automation of Home/Work place is common using short-range communication technology, called Bluetooth. This is because it is hard to change the speed of the Induction motor/intensity of bulb often to get good results, which usually fitted at uncomfortable height/place. The Bluetooth enabled Android Mobile Phone can use as remote control device and control the speed of the Induction motor/intensity of bulb by standing at safe and comfortable place.

Objective: The constructing of system which allows user to control speed of the Induction motor/intensity of bulb standing at safe and comfortable place.

AndroidInductionMotorControlSys_2016
This Induction Motor Control System has two parts: User end where user uses Android App on his Android Mobile to send command to control speed of intended Induction motor/intensity of bulb via Bluetooth means; and Control end where controlling Induction Motor/Bulb connect with main controller unit [which also decodes Bluetooth received commands and act accordingly]. The controller module is based on popular 8051 microcontroller chip. The chips memory resident program/code monitors Bluetooth module over its UART port or serial port for any user commands. If any data found at serial communication (UART protocol) pin, it is decoded as Speed control/Intensity control command and accordingly executed on output port connected Driver Module. The output port connected Driver Module drives the load [either Induction Motor or Bulb] according to decoded command.

 

This system uses 7 Segment Display for showing varying speed [or firing angle] of the Induction Motor or Intensity of Bulb.

 

Note that DTMF technique can also be used to control speed of the Induction motor/intensity of bulb at home/work place system without touching actual induction motor/load bulb.

 

The intended device needs Android App in user Android mobile hand set prior using this system. The range of the system is defined by used Bluetooth's communication range.

 

Since only small Induction motor/bulb is controlled, less care needed while designing and controlling system.

 

Applications:

  • The system is used as wireless remote controlled Induction Motor Control System at home/work-place.
  • Since single point control is possible, useful for non-technical people.
  • Since system is embedded type and wireless, portability is done very easily. Changing controlled load [Induction motor/bulb] is also very easy.
