INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Aim of this project is to control the unmanned rail gate automatically using embedded

platform. Today often we see news papers very often about the railway accidents happening at

un- attended railway gates. Present project is designed to avoid such accidents if implemented in

spirit. This project is developed in order to help the INDIAN RAILWAYS in making its present

working system a better one, by eliminating some of the loopholes existing in it. Based on the

responses and reports obtained as a result of the significant development in the working system

of INDIAN RAILWAYS,

This project can be further extended to meet the demands according to situation. This can be

further implemented to have control room to regulate the working of the system. Thus becomes

the user friendliness.

In this project AT89c51 Micro controller Integrated Chip plays the main role. The

program for this project is embedded in this Micro controller Integrated Chip and interfaced to

all the peripherals. The timer program is inside the Micro controller IC to maintain all the

functions as per the scheduled time. Stepper motors are used for the purpose of gate control

interfaced with current drivers chip ULN2003 it’s a 16 pin IC.

A regulated power supply is an embedded circuit, or stand alone unit, the function of which is to supply a stable voltage (or less often current), to a circuit or device that must be operated within certain power supply limits. The output from the regulated power supply may be alternating or unidirectional, but is nearly always DC.

The type of stabilization used may be restricted to ensuring that the output remains within certain limits under various load conditions, or it may also include compensation for variations in its own supply source. The latter is much more common today.

APPLICATIONS

D.C. variable bench supply (a bench power supply usually refers to a power supply capable of supplying a variety of output voltages useful for bench testing electronic circuits, possibly with continuous variation of the output voltage, or just some preset voltages; a laboratory (lab) power supply normally implies an accurate bench power supply, while a balanced or tracking power supply refers to twin supplies for use when a circuit requires both positive and negative supply rails).

Mobile Phone power adaptors Regulated power supplies in appliances

ii.) MICROCONTROLLER AT89C51 -:

This is the most important block of the system. Microcontroller is the decision making logical

device which has its own memory, I/O ports, CPU and Clock circuit embedded on a single chip.

Page 4: Automatic Railway Gate Controller Project Report

iii) ULN 2003 -:

The ULN2003 is a monolithic high voltage and high current Darlington transistor arrays. It consists of seven NPN Darlington pairs that features high-voltage outputs with common-cathodeclamp diode for switching inductive loads. The collector-current rating of a single darlington pair is 500mA. The Darlington pairs may be paralleled for higher current capability. Applications include relay drivers, hammer drivers, lamp drivers, display drivers(LED gas discharge),line drivers, and logic buffers. The ULN2003 has a 2.7kW series base resistor for each darlington pair for operation directly with TTL or 5V CMOS devices.

FEATURES* 500mA rated collector current (Single output)* High-voltage outputs: 50V* Inputs compatible with various types of logic.

* Relay driver application.

iv) STEPPER MOTOR -:

A stepper motor (or step motor) is a brushless DC electric motor that divides a full rotation

into a number of equal steps. The motor's position can then be commanded to move and hold at

4 | P a g e

Fig.1.2Microcontroller

Page 5: Automatic Railway Gate Controller Project Report

one of these steps without any feedback sensor (an open-loop controller), as long as the motor is

carefully sized to the application.

APPLICATION -:

Computer-controlled stepper motors are a type of motion-control positioning system. They are typically digitally controlled as part of an open loop system for use in holding or positioning applications.

In the field of lasers and optics they are frequently used in precision positioning equipment such as linear actuators, linear stages, rotation stages, goniometers, and mirror mounts. Other uses are in packaging machinery, and positioning of valve pilot stages for fluid control systems.

Commercially, stepper motors are used in floppy disk drives, flatbed scanners, computer printers, plotters, slot machines, image scanners, compact disc drives, intelligent lighting and many more devices.

v) LM324 -:

LM324 is a 14pin IC consisting of four independent operational amplifiers (op-amps) compensated in a single package. Op-amps are high gain electronic voltage amplifier with differential input and, usually, a single-ended output. The output voltage is many times higher than the voltage difference between input terminals of an op-amp.These op-amps are operated by a single power supply LM324 and need for a dual supply is eliminated. They can be used as amplifiers, comparators, oscillators, rectifiers etc. The conventional op-amp applications can be more easily implemented with LM324.

vi) LIGHT DEPENDENT RESISTOR -:

A photoresistor or light dependent resistor is a resistor whose resistance decreases with increasing incident light intensity; in other words, it exhibits photoconductivity. It can also be referred to as a photoconductor or CdS device, from "cadmium sulfide," which is the material from which the device is made and that actually exhibits the variation in resistance with light level. Note that although CdS is a semiconductor, it is not doped silicon.

A photoresistor is made of a high resistance semiconductor. If light falling on the device is of high enough frequency, photons absorbed by the semiconductor give bound electrons enough energy to jump into the conduction band. The resulting free electron (and its hole partner) conduct electricity, thereby lowering resistance.

Light dependent resistor

Applications

Photoresistors come in many different types. Inexpensive cadmium sulphide cells can be found in many consumer items such as camera light meters, street lights, clock radios, alarm devices, outdoor clocks,solar street lamps and solar road studs etc.

They are also used in some dynamic compressors together with a small incandescent lamp or light emitting diode to control gain reduction and are also used in bed lamps etc.

Lead sulphide (PbS) and indium antimonide (InSb) LDRs (light dependent resistor) are used for the mid infrared spectral region. Ge:Cu photoconductors are among the best far-infrared detectors available, and are used for infrared astronomy and infrared spectroscopy.

2.3 COMPONENT DESCRIPTION:

2.3.1 PASSIVE ELEMENTS:

1. RESISTORS:

Resistors (R) are the most commonly used of all electronic components, to the point where they

are almost taken for granted. They are "Passive Devices", that is they contain no source of power

or amplification but only attenuate or reduce the voltage signal passing through them. When used

8 | P a g e

Tab.1 component list

Page 9: Automatic Railway Gate Controller Project Report

in DC circuits the voltage drop produced is measured across their terminals as the circuit current

flows through them while in AC circuits the voltage and current are both In-phase Producing0

degree phase shift. In all Electrical and Electronic circuit diagrams and schematics, the most

commonly used resistor symbol is that of a "zigzag" type line with the value of its resistance

given in Ohms.

RESISTORSYMBOL:

The symbol used in schematic and electrical drawings for a Resistor can either be a "zigzag" type

line or a rectangular box.

RESISTORTYPES:

All modern resistors can be classified into four broad groups-

Carbon Composition Resistor: Made of carbon dust or graphite paste, low wattage values.

Film or Cermet Resistor: Made from conductive metal oxide paste, very low wattage

values.

Wire-Wound Resistors: Metallic bodies for heat sink mounting, very high wattage ratings.

Semiconductor Resistors: High frequency/precision surface mount thin film technology.

RESISTOR COLOUR CODE:

The resistance value, tolerance, and watt rating of the resistor are generally printed onto the body

of the resistor as numbers or letters when the resistor is big enough to read the print, such as

large power resistors. When resistors are small such as 1/4W Carbon and Film types, these

specifications must be shown in some other manner as the print would be too small to read. So to

overcome this, small resistors use coloured painted bands to indicate both their resistive value

9 | P a g e

Page 10: Automatic Railway Gate Controller Project Report

and their tolerance with the physical size of the resistor indicating its wattage rating. These

coloured painted bands are generally known as a Resistors Colour Code.

To distinguish left from right there is a gap between the C and D bands.

Band A is first significant figure of component value (left side)

Band B is the second significant figure

Band C is the decimal multiplier

Band D if present, indicates tolerance of value in percent (no color means 20%)

Presets:

These are miniature versions of the standard variable resistor. They are designed to be mounted

directly onto the circuit board and adjusted only when the circuit is built. For example to set the

10 | P a g e

Page 11: Automatic Railway Gate Controller Project Report

frequency of an alarm tone or the sensitivity of a light-sensitive circuit. A small screwdriver or

similar tool is required to adjust presets.

Presets are much cheaper than standard variable resistors so they are sometimes used in projects

where a standard variable resistor would normally be used.

2. CAPACITORS:

Just like the Resistor, the Capacitor or sometimes referred to as a Condenser is a passive device,

and one which stores energy in the form of an electrostatic field which produces a potential

(Static Voltage) across its plates. When a voltage is applied to these plates, a current flows

charging up the plates with electrons giving one plate a positive charge and the other plate an

equal and opposite negative charge. This flow of electrons to the plates is known as the Charging

Current and continues to flow until the voltage across the plates (and hence the capacitor) is

equal to the applied voltage Vc. At this point the capacitor is said to be fully charged and this is

illustrated below.

UNITS OF CAPACITANCE:

Microfarad (μF) 1μF = 10-6 F

Nano farad (nF) 1nF = 10-9F

Pico farad (pF) 1pF = 10 -12F

11 | P a g e

Preset Symbol

Page 12: Automatic Railway Gate Controller Project Report

TYPES OF CAPACITORS:

There are a very large variety of different types of Capacitors available in the market place and

each one has its own set of characteristics and applications from small delicate trimming

capacitors up to large power metal can type capacitors used in high voltage power correction and

smoothing circuits.

Dielectric capacitors:

Dielectric capacitorsare usually of the variable type such as used for tuning transmitters,

receivers and transistor radios. They have a set of fixed plates and a set of moving plates that

mesh with the fixed plates and the position of the moving plates with respect to the fixed plates

determines the overall capacitance. The capacitance is generally at maximum when the plates are

fully meshed.

Variable Capacitor Symbols:

As well as the continuously variable types, preset types are also available called

Trimmers .These are generally small devices that can be adjusted or "pre-set" to a particular

capacitance with the aid of a screwdriver and are available in very small capacitances of 100pF

or less and are non-polarized.

Film capacitors:

Film Capacitors are the most commonly available of all types of capacitors, consisting of a

relatively large family of capacitors with the difference being in their dielectric properties. These

12 | P a g e

Page 13: Automatic Railway Gate Controller Project Report

include polyester (Mylar), polystyrene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, metallized paper, Teflon

etc. Film type capacitors are available in capacitance ranges from 5pF to 100uF depending upon

the actual type of capacitor and its voltage rating. Film capacitors also come in an assortment of

shapes and case styles which include:

•Wrap & Fill (Oval & Round)

•Epoxy Case (Rectangular & Round)

•Metal Hermetically Sealed (Rectangular & Round)

Ceramic capacitors :

Ceramic Capacitors or Disc Capacitors as they are generally called, are made by coating two

sides of a small porcelain or ceramic disc with silver and are then stacked together to make a

capacitor. For very low capacitance values a single ceramic disc of about 3-6mm issued. Ceramic

capacitors have a high dielectric constant (High-K) and are available so that relatively high

capacitances can be obtained in a small physical size. They exhibit large non-linear changes in

capacitance against temperature and as a result are used as de-coupling or by-pass capacitors as

they are also non-polarized devices. Ceramic capacitors have values ranging from a few

Picofarads to one or two microfarads but their voltage ratings are generally quite low. Ceramic

types of capacitors generally have a 3-digit code printed onto their body to identify their

capacitance value. For example, 103 would indicate 10 x 103 PF.

Electrolytic capacitors :

Electrolytic Capacitors are generally used when very large capacitance values are required. Here

instead of using a very thin metallic film layer for one of the electrodes, a semi-liquid electrolyte

solution in the form of a jelly or paste is used which serves as the second electrode (usually the

cathode). The dielectric is a very thin layer of oxide which is grown electro- chemically in

production with the thickness of the film being less than ten microns. This insulating layer is so

thin that it is possible to make large value capacitors of a small size. The majority of electrolytic

types of capacitors are polarized, that is the voltage applied to the capacitor terminals must be of

the correct polarity as an incorrect polarization will break down the insulating oxide layer and

permanent damage may result.

13 | P a g e

Page 14: Automatic Railway Gate Controller Project Report

Electrolytic Capacitors are generally used in DC power supply circuits to help reduce the ripple

voltage or for coupling and decoupling applications. Electrolyte’s generally come in two basic

forms:-

Aluminum Electrolytic

Tantalum Electrolytic capacitors

3) Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs):

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps

in many devices and are increasingly used for other lighting. Introduced as a practical electronic

component in 1962, early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are

available across the visible, ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness.

When a light-emitting diode is forward biased (switched on), electrons are able

to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This

effect is called electroluminescence and the Colour of the light (corresponding to the energy of

the photon) is determined by the energy gap of the semiconductor.

Advantages:

Efficiency: LEDs emit more light per watt than incandescent light bulbs. Their efficiency is

not affected by shape and size, unlike fluorescent light bulbs or tubes.

Color: LEDs can emit light of an intended color without using any color filters as traditional

lighting methods need. This is more efficient and can lower initial costs.

14 | P a g e

Page 15: Automatic Railway Gate Controller Project Report

Size: LEDs can be very small (smaller than 2 mm2) and are easily populated onto printed

circuit boards.

On/Off time: LEDs light up very quickly. A typical red indicator LED will achieve full

brightness in under a microsecond. LEDs used in communications devices can have even

faster response times.

Cycling: LEDs are ideal for uses subject to frequent on-off cycling, unlike fluorescent lamps

that fail faster when cycled often, or HID lamps that require a long time before restarting.

Dimming: LEDs can very easily be dimmed either by pulse-width modulation or lowering

the forward current.

Disadvantages:

High initial price: LEDs are currently more expensive, price per lumen, on an initial capital

cost basis, than most conventional lighting technologies. The additional expense partially

stems from the relatively low lumen output and the drive circuitry and power supplies

needed.

Temperature dependence: LED performance largely depends on the ambient temperature

of the operating environment. Over-driving an LED in high ambient temperatures may result

in overheating the LED package, eventually leading to device failure. Adequate heat

sinking is needed to maintain long life.

Voltage sensitivity: LEDs must be supplied with the voltage above the threshold and a

current below the rating. This can involve series resistors or current-regulated power

supplies.

Light quality: Most cool-white LEDs have spectra that differ significantly from a black

body radiator like the sun or an incandescent light. However, the color rendering properties

of common fluorescent lamps are often inferior to what is now available in state-of-art white

LEDs.

Application of LEDs falls into four major categories:

Visual signal application where the light goes more or less directly from the LED to the

human eye, to convey a message or meaning.

Illumination where LED light is reflected from object to give visual response of these

objects.15 | P a g e

Generate light for measuring and interacting with processes that do not involve the human

visual system.

Narrow band light sensors where the LED is operated in a reverse-bias mode and is

responsive to incident light instead of emitting light.

2.3.2 IC PIN DESCRIPTION:

1) IC LM324:

 The Operational Amplifier is probably the most versatile Integrated Circuit available. It is very

cheap especially keeping in mind the fact that it contains several hundred components. The most

common Op-Amp is the 741 and it is used in many circuits. The OP AMP is a ‘Linear Amplifier’

with an amazing variety of uses. Its main purpose is to amplify (increase) a weak signal - a little

like a Darlington Pair. The OP-AMP has two inputs, INVERTING (-) and NON-INVERTING

(+), and one output at pin 6.The 741 is used in two ways.

a) AN INVERTING AMPLIFIER

Leg two is the input and the output is always reversed. In an inverting amplifier the voltage

enters the 741 chip through leg two and comes out of the 741chip at leg six. If the polarity

is positive going into the chip, it negative by the time it comes out through leg six. The

polarity has been ‘inverted’.

b) A NON-INVERTING AMPLIFIER

Leg three is the input and the output is not reversed. In a non-inverting amplifier the voltage

enters the 741 chip through leg three and leaves the 741 chip through leg six. This time if it  is

positive going into the 741 then it is still positive coming out. Polarity remains the same.

2) MICROCONTROLLER

A micro-controller can be compared to a small stand-alone computer; it is a very powerful

device, which is capable of executing a series of pre-programmed tasks and interacting with

other hardware devices. Being packed in a tiny integrated circuit (IC) whose size and weight is

usually negligible, it is becoming the perfect controller for robots or any machines requiring

some kind of intelligent automation. A single microcontroller can be sufficient to control a small

mobile robot, an automatic washer machine or a security system. Any microcontroller contains a

memory to store the program to be executed, and a number of input/output lines that can be used

to interact with other devices, like reading the state of a sensor or controlling a motor.

Nowadays, microcontrollers are so cheap and easily available that it is common to use them

instead of simple logic circuits like counters for the sole purpose of gaining some design

flexibility and saving some space. Some machines and robots will even rely on a multitude of

microcontrollers, each one dedicated to a certain task. Most recent microcontrollers are 'In

18 | P a g e

Page 19: Automatic Railway Gate Controller Project Report

System Programmable', meaning that you can modify the program being executed, without

removing the microcontroller from its place.

Today, microcontrollers are an indispensable tool for the robotics hobbyist as well as for the

engineer. Starting in this field can be a little difficult, because you usually can't understand how

everything works inside that integrated circuit, so you have to study the system gradually, a

small part at a time, until you can figure out the whole image and understand how the system

works.

RAM, 15 I/O lines, two 16-bit timer/counters, a five vector two-level interrupt architecture, a

full duplex serial port, a precision analog comparator, on-chip oscillator and clock circuitry.

• In addition, the AT89C2051 is designed with static logic for operation down to zero

frequency and supports two software selectable power saving modes.

• The Idle Mode stops the CPU while allowing the RAM, timer/counters, serial port and

interrupt system to continue functioning.

• The power-down mode saves the RAM contents but freezes the oscillator disabling all other

chip functions until the next hardware reset.

the help of avr which is required for burning onto chip. It has a powerful debugging tool which

detects most of the errors in the program.

CONCLUSION

Conclusion-:

From the above discussion and information of this system we, upto now surely comes

to know that it is highly reliable effective and economical at dense traffic area, sub urban area

and the route where frequency of trains is more.

As it saves some auxiliary structure as well as the expenditure on attendant it is

more economical at above mentioned places than traditional railway crossing gate system. We

know that though it is very beneficial but it is also impossible to install such system at

each and every places, but it gives certainly a considerable benefit to us, thereby to our nation.
