GSM Based Control System
[attachment=23771]
Introduction to Project
“GSM based Control System” implements the emerging applications of the GSM
technology. Using GSM networks, a control system has been proposed that will act as an
embedded system which can monitor and control appliances and other devices locally
using built-in input and output peripherals.
Remotely the system allows the user to effectively monitor and control the house/office
appliances and equipments via the mobile phone set by sending commands in the form of
SMS messages and receiving the appliances status. The main concept behind the project
is receiving the sent SMS and processing it further as required to perform several
operations. The type of the operation to be performed depends on the nature of the SMS
sent. The principle in which the project is based is fairly simple. First, the sent SMS is
stored and polled from the receiver mobile station and then the required control signal is
generated and sent to the intermediate hardware that we have designed according to the
command received in form of the sent message.
Problem Statement
Technology has advanced so much in the last decade or two that it has made life more
efficient and comfortable. The comfort of being able to take control of devices from one
particular location has become imperative as it saves a lot of time and effort. Therefore
there arises a need to do so in a systematic manner which we have tried to implement
with our system. The system we have proposed is an extended approach to automating a
control system.
Description:
The figure shown above is the simple block diagram of our project. It is a simple
illustration of how we have implemented our project and the various parts involved in it.
From the above representation, the first Mobile station is used as a transmitting section
from which the subscriber sends text messages that contain commands and instructions to
the second mobile station which is based on a specific area where our control system is
located. The mobile phone as indicated in the block diagram is a Nokia 3310 mobile set.
The received SMS message is stored in the SIM memory of the phone and then extracted
by the microcontroller and processed accordingly to carry out specific operations. The
relay driver (BUFFER ULN2003) is used to drive the relay circuits which switches the
different appliances connected to the interface. The LCD is used to indicate the status of
the operation performed by the microcontroller and also its inclusion makes the overall
system user-friendly.
Scopes and Purpose of System Specification
The system specification shows the description of the function and the performance of
system and the user. The scope of our project “GSM Based control system” is immense.
The future implications of the project are very great considering the amount of time and
resources it saves. The project we have undertaken can be used as a reference or as a base
for realizing a scheme to be implemented in other projects of greater level such as
weather forecasting, temperature updates, device synchronization, etc. The project itself
can be modified to achieve a complete Home Automation system which will then create a
platform for the user to interface between himself and the household.
