 INTRODUCTION
 Multiple (more than one) air
conditioners increasingly becoming
common even in small level firms
and our household.
 But the generator capacity is
limited and high capacity
generators are very expensive.
WHAT IS AN AIR CONDITIONER CONTROLLER ??

 The generator is able to handle limited load

(typically 2-3 ac’s) out of the 5 or 6 AC’s.
 For running all the AC’s and cooling every room
in which the AC is installed, this CONTROLLER has
been designed.
BASIC THOUGHT BEHIND AC CONTROLLER
 The basic idea behind the controller
design is to create a microcontroller
based circuit that is interfaced with
all the ACs .
 The circuit is able to selectively
switch on the air conditioners so as
to keep all the rooms cool and the
load on the generator is also within
limits.
ADVANCING IN THE DESIGN PROCESS OF THE
CONTROLLER
The controller system controlling 5 air
conditioners in 5 rooms will consist of a
microcontroller with:
 Inputs from 5 temperature sensors in
different rooms.
 A program code with all the logic loaded
into it .
 Outputs to the 5 air conditioners with
appropriate circuitry for their switching.

 CHOICE OF MICROCONTROLLER
The microcontroller chosen for this project is ATMEGA
16(AT89S52), an 8-bit microcontroller.
 Has an in built ADC(analog to digital converter) so no
need for external ADC circuit(Unlike 8051).
 Is very inexpensive(around 100 rupees), as opposed
to other microcontrollers with desires features.
 CHOICE OF SENSOR
TEMPERATURE SENSOR : The temperature
sensor to be used in the controller circuit is
LM35 which is a precision centigrade
temperature sensor IC with a range of
-55degrees to 140 degrees.

WHY LM35 ??
 We can measure temperature more
accurately than using a thermistor.
 The sensor circuitry is sealed and not
subject to oxidation.
 The LM35 generates a higher output voltage
than thermocouples .
 ATMEGA 16 MICROCONTROLLER
FEATURES:
 Two 8-bit Timer/Counters with separate Prescaler.
 One 16-bit Timer/Counter with separate Prescaler.
 Four PWM channels
 8-channel, 10-bit ADC
 On-chip Analog Comparator
 Internal Calibrated RC Oscillator
 32 Programmable I/O lines (3 programmable I/O ports)
 Operating Voltage: 4.5-5.5V
 Industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C)

 CODING LANGUAGE AND COMPILER
• The programming was done in BASIC language.
• The compiler used to generate the hex code of the
program was BASCOM-AVR (MCS Electronics).
KEY BENEFITS
-Compiled programs work with all AVR microprocessors that
have internal memory.
Structured programming with IF-THEN-ELSE-END IF, DO-LOOP,
WHILE-END, etc.
- Fast machine code instead of interpreted code.
- Variables and labels can be as long as 32 characters.
- Bit, Byte, Integer, Word, Long, Single and String variables.

 WORKING ON THE ISIS CAPTURE

The circuit diagram of the design is drawn in

the CAPTURE schematic design file.

All the components of the circuit are first

searched in the library and then placed on the
design sheet.

ISIS CAPTURE has a rich library containing

almost all parts that are usually required in a
microcontroller circuit.
SEARCHING COPMPONENTS FROM THE LIBRARY
DETAILED CIRCUIT DIAGRAM OF THE DESIGN
INSERTING THE HEX CODE OF THE PROGRAM IN THE DESIGN

•The compiler of any language generates a low level hex code

of the program.
•This hex code is the basic code that a machine or
microcontroller understands.
•This hex code is to be inserted into the microcontroller of
the design file so that it is able to perform
the desired tasks.
•The hex code is inserted into the microcontroller by double
clicking on the controller and then selecting the hex file.
