Title of the miniproject:

SPEED CONTROL OF DC MOTOR USING 8051 MICROCONTROLLER

ABSTRACT

A pulse width modulator (PWM) is a device that may be used as an efficient

DC motor

speed controller. This project is a versatile device that can control DC devices
which draw up to a few amps of current. The circuit may be used in either 12
or 24 Volt systems with only a few minor wiring changes. This device has
been used to control the speed of the DC motor. A PWM circuit works by
making a square wave with a variable on-to-off ratio, the average on time
may be varied from 0 to 100 percent. In this manner, a variable amount of
power is transferred to the load.

In industry DC motor is widely uses for speed control and load

characteristics, it's easy controllability provide effective and precise output
so application of DC motor is large for commercial purpose. Speed control of
DC motor is very crucial in application where required speed is precision and
correcting signal representing and to operate motor at constant speed, so we
used PWM method which are fulfill all requirements to speed control of DC
motor. PWM based speed control system consists of electronic components
(integrated circuits, Sensors etc.). In this paper, to control the speed of DC
motor using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) method. Microcontroller AT89S52
is used to generate PWM. L293D IC is used to drive the motor which is made
up of two H-Bridge.

Keywords: DC motor, H-bridge, Pulse Width Modulation, IR sensor.

16X2 LCD is

connected to display the speed level of the motor. LED indication is also
provided for visual indication.
