TUTORIAL ABOUT SEVEN SEGMENT DISPLAY PIN DIAGRAM, INTERNAL CIRCUIT AND HOW 7 SEGMENT DISPLAY WORKS

 seven-segment L.E.D. display.

A seven-segment display may have 7, 8, or 9 leads on the chip. Usually leads 8 and 9 are decimal points. The figure below is a typical component and pin layout for a seven segment display. 

                                                      SEGMENT DISPLAY

The light emitting diodes in a seven-segment display are arranged in the figure below. 

                     DIODE PLACEMENT IN A SEVEN SEGMENT DISPLAY, NO DECIMAL

There are two types of displays available, common anode and common cathode.

The wiring for a common anode is shown below. 

                                           COMMON ANODE INTERNAL WIRING

The wiring for the common cathode is shown below. 

COMMON CATHODE INTERNAL WIRING

To convert the binary numbers to signals that can drive the L.E.D.s in the display you need a display driver. In the lab we use an MC14511 chip. The pinouts are shown below. U17MC1451112345678910111213141516BCLTBILEDAGNDedcbagfVcc 

                         PIN OUTS FOR THE MC14511 SEVEN-SEGMENT DISPLAY DRIVER

A, B, C, and, D are the binary inputs.

a, b, c, d, e, f, and g are the driver signals to the display elements.

LT is the Light Test control, turns all segments on, active low.

BL blanks all the segments when activated, active low.

LE is the latch enable control.

The truth table shown below is used to confirm that the digital signal sent to the display lights up the correct segment. 

TRUTH TABLE FOR THE SEVEN-SEGMENT DISPLAY

The internal circuitry and logic gates for the display is shown below.

INTERNAL CIRCUITRY AND LOGIC GATES FOR 7 SEG DISPLAY

The specific seven-segment display used in lab is an LN513RK. The schematic below is similar to the one you will use in lab. 

SEVEN SEGMENT DISPLAY WITH DISPLAY DRIVER

To have the driver convert the binary input to signals ready for the display, tie pin 3, LT, and pin 4, Bl, to VCC. Connect pin 5, LE, to ground. In this configuration what ever the binary inputs at A-D are will be converted and the display will show the decimal equivalent.

INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION THROUGH INTERNET PROJECT FOR POLYTECHNIC AND ENGINEERING STUDENTS - EMBEDDED FIELD

Industrial automation through internet

Industrial automation is a latest technology for industrial control. There are several methods to automate the industrial process. But for automation through internet is a medium which is used to make connection between the remote server and the controlled machines .

The medium can have two types:

1.        Wired medium

2.        Wireless medium

When we use the wired connection system then we need to connect wires from control panel to the controlled machines. This system can be used when the distance between the control panel and controlled devices are not too much. At the same time the cost of wires and the cost of maintaining the communication medium may be extent.

We can use wireless communication methods to avoid the use of physical wires.  We can establish a communication system which can operate up to some kilometers distance. This type of system is costly and also has limitation of distance as the communication system has to be designed for a certain distance.

All These problems can be overcome if we use the internet as our media of communication. The distance between the control station and the controlled machines is not a problem as the internet is available everywhere. We just need to have internet connections at both sites. The cost of maintaining the communication system is just the internet bill of two connections with installation cost of hardware. We can use that internet connection for all other application.

In This project we are developing a controller card that will be attached to the serial port of the computer at the factory site. Our aim to control this controller card from any computer in the world connected to the internet. The connections of this control card are given to the machines through relays.  An LCD display is also attached to this card to display the message received from the control station.

By using this project we can perform the following functions

1.Check the status of industry

 2.Switch on a device

 3.Switch off a device

 4.Change the state of operation for a device

 5.Send message & display on LCD

 6.Play alarm until someone not check the message (especially for  emergency conditions)

AN EMBEDDED PROJECT ABOUT AUTOMATIC BEVERAGE VENDING MECHINE USING PIC MICROCONTROLLER

AUTOMATIC BEVERAGE VENDING Mechine

An automated beverage vending machine comprises of a microcontroller which is programmed to instruct the system to serve the beverage. Machine will activate when the user insert a five rupee coin into coin slot. This coin will be detected by an IR-sensor and send a signal to microcontroller. The machine comprises of cylinder controlled by microcontroller. A fixed volume beverage is filled in the main container. The beverage is poured in the glass through tap which opens and closes after fixed time period and only activated when container is filled. Hence, the user gets the beverage demanded by him by fully automated technique.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:

 Power Supply :  

Step Down Transformer : A step down transformer is used to convert 230V,50Hz into 12V,50Hz.

Bridge Rectifier : In this section a bridge rectifier is use to convert 12V ac into 12V dc supply which is then converted into regulated supply by using a Regulator IC 7805.

Regulator IC: In this section 12V dc  is converted into 5V regulated supply by using a 7805 regulator

 Main circuit :

Comparator (LM 324) &IR Section :

IR Section : In IR section we use an photo diode & an IR(Infra Red) LED are used  to sense the whether the coin is inserted or not.

Comparator : A comparator LM 324 is used to compare the o/p of IR section with a reference voltage(0-5V).when we put a coin in hole the infrared light get interrupted due to which output will generated at pin 1 of comparator IC which will work as an input for microcontroller IC PIC16F72 at pin 2.

Microcontroller : IC PIC16F72 is a 28 pin microcontroller IC having three ports port a ,port b,port c each of 8 bits.6 pins of port b are connected to 16x2 LCD display and four pins of port b are connected to relay driver IC ULN2003.

Relay driver : IC ULN2003 having 16 pins work as a relay driver IC.it operates on 12Volts.the output from the main microcontroller IC works as an input for relay driver and there produces magnetic field at the relay.Due to induced magnetic field in the solenoid valve it moves downward causing liquid to come out from the valve and hence the beverage fills in the glass as we put the coin in hole.

HD4478OU LCD Display : It is a dot matrix liquid crystal display.it is used to display the status of the machine.it detects the coin action and indicates if it is inserted.

Crystal Oscillator : it is used to generate a 3.57MHz frequency for microcontroller IC.

APPLICATIONS:

1.     To serve different kinds of beverages like coffee, softdrinks,hot water,shakes at public places like railway stations,bus stands,airports etc.

2.     Can be used as a frequent beverage supplier at colleges and offices where mass serving is required.

FUTURE ASPECTS:

We can connect more valves through relay to make more beverage choices and.we can also connect a predefined path set robot to take the beverage at a particular destination.
