WORKING

As described in block and circuit diagram, the heart of

this project is a micro-controller IC AT89C52 which is 8051
MCS based chip from ATMEL corporation. This micro-controller
continuously takes inputs from input peripherals. These input
peripherals in this project are :1) Energy meter module :- this module gives the
micro-controller the information of energy
consumed through load in the form of pulses.
2) Keypad :- is responsible for entering desired key
presses by user into the micro-controller.as soon as
any key is pressed by user, micro-controller respond
to it according to MENU organized in the firmware
3) Personal Computer:- any command or other
communication to or from the personal computer is
interfaced with micro-controller with the help of this
IC this IC inter-converts the TTL( TransistorTransistor-Logic ) with the RS232 protocol this inter
conversion is made through IC MAX232 .
4) Real Time Clock IC DS1307 for time and date
information.
The micro-controller then Calculates the consumed energy
information from counting the pulses from energy module. The
calculation is given below :3200 pulses = 1000 Watt-Hour ( 1kWattHour i.e. 1 Unit )
1 pulse
= 1000/3200 Watt-Hour
32 pulses = 1/100 kWh = 0.01 kWh

it means that when 32 pulses arrives at micro-controller, then a

net energy consumption occur is 0.01 kWh.
After calculating kWhs, this information is sending to LCD for
displaying energy consumption information. This information is
also of two kinds first one is Monthly Units and other one is
Total Units
The Billing information is calculated as follows
Electricity Bill
MPEB

Consumed Units

Tariff decided by

After calculating all these, micro-controller sends controlling

signals and displaying data to the LCD module for proper display
according to display scheme. Which is given in Display Scheme
Chart
Along with all this works, system executes one more task of
Locking the meter . this locking is donne when a locking
command is issued from M.P.E.B. to this meter . after receiving
this command, meter energies the Error Relay which in turn
breaks the supply to the attached load.
