 System Requirement Scheme
• The system requirement proposal had gone through
many phases right from the construction of a home
automation system to the industrial automation
system .After that we were asked to construct a
generic automation system that can be controlled via
the ethernet and finally it landed in the development
of a generic board that can be used as network
control unit.
 AIM
• The purpose of this project is to develop a
general purpose board that make use of
Microchip’s PIC18F97J60 microcontroller for
automation purposes.
 Project Scope
The objectives of this project include:

•To develop schematic of a general purpose board for

automation that includes Ethernet controllability.
 
•The board must include 4 Opto-Isolated inputs, 2
Analog inputs, 4 Relay driven outputs, that can be used
for various control applications.

• The PICDEM.net 2 Development Board has all the
features to begin developing Internet connectivity
applications over an Ethernet connection. The
preprogrammed firmware allows users to begin
evaluating the board right out of the box with no
additional programming or configuration. All that is
required to begin exploring the board is a network-
enabled computer with an Ethernet adapter and
Internet browser software.

Functionalities incorporated from PICDEM.net 2 :

•Microchip PIC18F97J60 microcontroller.

•Web server with HTML support.
•Microchip free TCP/IP stack.
•Ethernet Interface(RJ-45 connector).
•Connector for future expansion(Like PIC tail)
•ICSP/MPLAB ICD2 interface connector for in circuit
programming and debugging.
•RS-232/RS-485 interface.
•Real Time clock.

 1.Inputs
1. OPTO-ISOLATED INPUT

An opto-isolator (or optical isolator, optical coupling device,

optocoupler, photocoupler, or photoMOS) is a device
that uses a short transmission path to transfer an
electrical signal between elements of a circuit, typically
a transmitter and receiver, while keeping them
electrically isolated—since the electrical signal is
converted to a light beam, transferred, then converted
back to an electrical signal, there is no need for electrical
connection between the source and destination circuits.

isolator with an LED and phototransistor.

2.ANALOG INPUT

Analog input boards are useful for measuring variably changing conditions in
the real world. When we want to measure these variably changing conditions,
we need analog inputs to convert these changing real world conditions to
changing electrical quantities. In such cases, we can use one of our analog
input devices to convert the electrical data from a sensor or transducer into
binary data that can then be used by our board. An analog input is a
measurable electrical signal with a defined range. The analog input changes
continuously in a definable manner in relation to the measured property. This
data is very useful for process monitoring, process control, or simple
monitoring / data collection and acquisition.  
 Power supply

For the ease of different voltage regulation on board we have come up

with the following ICs:-

1.LM2940

2. TC1262

3. MAX 3232
 
The MAX3232 transceivers have a proprietary low-dropout transmitter
output stage enabling true RS-232 performance from a 3.0V to 5.5V
supply with a dual charge pump. The devices require only four small
0.1μF external charge pump capacitors.
The MAX3232 have 2 receivers and 2 drivers. The MAX3232 is
guaranteed to run at data rates of 120kbps while maintaining RS-232
output and features a 1μA shutdown mode that reduces power
consumption and extends battery life in portable systems. Its receivers
remain active in shutdown mode, allowing external devices such as
modems to be monitored using only 1μA supply current.

4. MEMORY
The Microchip Technology Inc. 25AA256/25LC256 (25XX256*) are
256 Kbit Serial Electrically Erasable PROMs. The memory is accessed
via a simple Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) compatible serial bus. The
bus signals required are a clock input (SCK) plus separate data in (SI)
and data out (SO) lines. Access to the device is controlled through a
Chip Select (CS) input. Communication to the device can be paused via
the hold pin (HOLD). While the device is paused, transitions on its
inputs will be ignored, with the exception of Chip Select, allowing the
host to service higher priority interrupts. The 25XX256 is available in
standard packages including 8-lead PDIP and SOIC, and advanced
packaging including 8-lead DFN and 8-lead TSSOP
