Design and Implementation of GSM Based Industrial Automation

The main aim of this proposed project is to design and implement a flexible, cost-effective and
powerful GSM Based Industrial Automation security system. A GSM based Industrial
Automation system is needed for the occupant’s convenience and safety. This system helps you
to detect burglary, leaking of harmful gas, smoke caused due to fire and after detecting
suspicious activity, it sends an alarm message to the owner number as well as security personnel.
The concerned person will take some action, by sending some commands to the Microcontroller
unit through registered mobile and controls the industrial devices through Relays.

Industrial automation or numerical control is the use of control systems such as computers to
control industrial machinery and processes, reducing the need for manpower. The operation and
control of the modern industrial equipment and process needs lots of sensors to monitor several
parameters of the systems.

Design and Implementation of GSM Based Industrial Automation

The proposed system comprises of GSM modem, Microcontroller, various sensors, relays,
memory and LCD Display. If the user wants to control the system from a remote place, he/ she
has to send the SMS command from his registered mobile indicating the operation of the device.
The GSM modem embedded with Microcontroller receives the user’s command. According to
the received message, the Microcontroller will switch ON/ OFF the relays (i.e. specific
application).

The block diagram of the GSM Based Industrial Automation system has shown in the below
diagram. The system mainly consists of three components the GSM MODEM and the interface
circuit that includes the different sensors used.

Architecture of the System

The interface circuit diagram and main power supply connections are given in the below
diagram. The GSM connected to the user, police station, and fire brigade through the mobile
cellular network.

The function of the GSM MODEM is the remote communication between the user (through
mobile) and the controller through the RS232 serial communication standard. The
Microcontroller is continuously checking the outputs of the different sensor and send messages
through the GSM network in case of emergency.

The Microcontroller is connected to various devices like a smoke detector, motion detector, IR
sensor, LDR through relays. An interface circuit has been designed which includes the
programmed Microcontroller and the GSM modem through the serial port of the GSM MODEM,
the sensors as input devices and those are connected to Microcontroller and relays.

Main Circuit

The main role of each hardware component is explained in detail below.

Power Supply Unit

The power supply unit provides two DC voltages (5V &12V) for different usages. The below
diagram shows a simple circuit to get a 5v and 12v power supply from a single circuit.

The AC mains will step down by a step-down transformer T1, rectified by bridge rectifier B1,
and filtered by smoothing capacitor C1 to obtain a steady DC voltage level. The IC 7805 voltage
regulator used to obtain 5V DC. The IC 7812 voltage regulator used to obtain 12V DC.

Microcontroller- AT89S52

The AT89S52 is a low power, high-performance CMOS 8-Bit Microcontroller with 8K bytes of
flash memory (in system programmable memory) it is manufactured by Atmel with high-density
nonvolatile memory technology and is compatible with industry standard 80c51 instruction set
and pinout.

The main role of the 8051 Microcontroller in GSM Based Industrial Automation security system:

In this system, the Microcontroller programmed in such a way that, it always searches for input
from the sensors. If the Microcontroller interrupted by the signal from any of the sensor then it
will give commands through the GSM MODAM to the user mobile by sending an SMS.
The LCD is connected to the microcontroller to display the status of MODEM, status of the
sensor. For example, if the microcontroller is initializing the MODEM, if any case, MODEM
failed to initialize, the user doesn’t know what is happening in the system, so we are using the
LCD to display the status.

GSM MODEM

We used GSM/GPRS SIM900A modem works on frequencies 900/ 1800 MHz. The modem is
coming with the RS232 interface, which allows you connect to a PC as well as a microcontroller
with the RS232 chip (MAX232). The baud rate is configured from 9600-115200 through AT
command.

It has an onboard Regulated Power supply. Using this MODEM, we can make audio calls, SMS,
Read SMS, attend the incoming calls and internet etc through simple AT command.

GSM MODEM SIM900A

Features

 Dual-band GSM/GPRS 900/1800MHz.


 Configurable baud rate.
 SIM card holder.
 Built-in network status LED.
 Inbuilt powerful TCP/IP protocol stack for internet data transfer over GPRS.

The vital role of GSM modem in GSM Based Industrial Automation security system:

Nowadays everything is going to be automated using smart MODEM technology, using this
technology we can access any devices remotely.

The GSM MODEM is communicating with the Microcontroller using AT commands, for
example, if we want to send an SMS to Aa number 98xxxxxxxx, the commands we have to send
is AT+CMGS=”<98xxxxxxxxxx>”, <enter>, <message>, <ctrl+Z>.
In this project, it is used to send SMS to the owners mobile when something unwanted things
happened in their home or industry without permission.

RS232

The RS-232 is a communication cable, commonly used for transferring and receiving the serial
data between two devices. In this project, it provides communication between MODEM and the
microcontroller.

Smoke Sensor

A Smoke Detector device is a smoke sensing device that indicates the fire. Smoke Detectors are
very useful in homes, offices, schools and industries. The MQ-2 sensor detects the presence of
combustible gas and smoke at concentrations from 300 to 10000ppm.

Smoke Sensor
This can be easily connected to the microcontroller. Whenever the smoke the detects any smoke/
fire, then it sends signals to the microcontroller then MC will send SMS to the user mobile.

LDR (Light Dependent Resistor)

An LDR is a device that has a variable resistance that changes with the light intensity that falls
upon it. This feature allows them to be used in light sensing applications. In this project, we can
use this sensor for lights on/off purpose.
