 ABSTRACT
Aim of the design is to develop a system based on Embedded micro
controller(8051) which is used as a digital contact less tachometer for
measuring the speed (in rpm) of the AC (or) DC motor by using Infrared
Frequency without the help of a expensive tachometer available in the
market.
 INTRODUCTION
 Tachometer is used for measuring rotational
speed
 It Can be used to measure speed of a rotating
shaft
 It Can also be used to measure flow of liquid by
attaching a wheel with inclined vanes

OPERATION OF A NON-CONTACT
DIGITAL TACHOMETER
• Place the tx and rx in such a way that the IR transmitter
continuously
generates the infrared rays and the receiver receives it.

• To the motor shaft arrange one circular arrangement having a

small
hole and position it exactly at the middle of tx and rx
arrangement in
such a way that when the shaft rotates, only at one point the
IR rays
falls on the rx.

• As usual the IR receiver receives the IR signals from the

transmitter
when the motor was running for every one complete rotation.

• The IR receiver (TSOP) sends these data to the micro

 BLOCK DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION
 The power was passed to the micro controller through the help of
power supply unit
 The data passed to the IR transmitter through the help
of 555 timer
 IR transmitter send the data through wireless, TSOP
will receive the data and move towards to the
micro
controller unit
 The micro controller unit will send the data into display
unit, display unit will display the message of received
data from micro controller

RECEIVER(TSOP)
 IR SENSORS DESCRIPTION
• The infrared LED emitter produces a light beam
across the bottom of the coil.

• There's less noise and ambient light than at

normal
optical wavelengths hence IR (Infrared) is used.

• TSOP (Tiny Small Online Package) is used to

receive
the signals from IR transmitter.
POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
 OPERATION OF POWER SUPPLY
CIRCUIT
 The 230v AC supply voltage can be reduced to
12v AC by using step down transformer.
 The 12v AC is converted into 12v DC by using
Bridge rectifier.
 The DC voltage is filtered by using capacitors
at different levels.
 The voltage regulators are used to get
constant output voltage.
 LCD DISPLAY
• It is a general purpose
alphanumeric LCD
display,
with two lines of 16
characters

• It is thinner and lighter

and draw much less

power
than cathode ray tubes.

• It is made up of any
number
of color or monochrome
SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
 8051 MICRO CONTROLLER
Features:
• it consists of 4 ports and each port having 8 pins
• 8051 had on-chip memory having 128 bytes of
memory.
• ROM having memory of 4 kilo bytes.
• It consists of 2 timers.
• It consists of one serial port.
• It consists of 6 interrupts in that 3 are
internal (software) and 3 are external (hard
ware).
• it consists of 16 address lines and data lines.

 Registers:

• 8051 microcontroller consists of 8 "R" (R0, R1, R2,

R3,
R4, R5, R6, and R7) which are used to assist in
manipulating values And moving data from one
memory
location to another.

• It consists special function registers like stack

pointer,
data pointer, PCON (power control), TCON (timer
control),
TMOD (timer mode), SBUF (serial control), IE
(interrupt
enable), IP (interrupt priority) ,PSW (program status
word), SCON (serial control).
