DC Motor
Direct current (DC) motors have been widely used in many industrial applications such as
electric vehicles, steel rolling mills, electric cranes, and robotic manipulators due to precise,
wide, simple, and continuous control characteristics. Traditionally rheostatic armature control
method was widely used for the speed control of low power DC motors.
LCD
LCDs are available to display arbitrary images (as in a general-purpose computer display) or
fixed images with low information content, which can be displayed or hidden, such as preset
words, digits, and 7-segment displays as in a digital clock. They use the same basic technology,
except that arbitrary images are made up of a large number of small pixels, while other displays
have larger elements.

televisions, instrument panels, aircraft cockpit displays, and signage. They are common in
consumer devices such as DVD players, gaming devices, clocks, watches, calculators, and
telephones, and have replaced cathode ray tube (CRT) displays in nearly all applications. They
are available in a wider range of screen sizes than CRT and plasma displays, and since they do
not use phosphors, they do not suffer image burn-in. LCDs are, however, susceptible to image
persistence.
GSM
GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) is a digital mobile telephony system that is
widely used in Europe and other parts of the world. GSM uses a variation of time division
multiple access (TDMA) and is the most widely used of the three digital wirelesstelephony
technologies (TDMA, GSM, and CDMA). GSM digitizes and compresses data, then sends it
down a channel with two other streams of user data, each in its own time slot. It operates at
either the 900 MHz or 1800 MHz frequency band.
WORKING
The purpose of this project is to control the speed and direction of DC Motor using
Microcontroller and GSM Modem with password protection. This uses a PWM (Pulse Width
Modulation) technique to control the speed of motor from 0% to 100%.
The SMS can be sent to any mobile user of any service provider with no or minimum charge.
This system is designed using a GSM modem. The GSM modem is configured as a receiver. The
SMS sent by the user is written in a particular format. The controller receives the message and
decodes it and identifies the task to be done and the SMS received by the controller is decoded,
and the proper message is displayed on the LCD by the microcontroller.
GSM Modem connected to microcontroller unit is used to control the motor and know the motor
live speed. Microcontroller automatically reads the SMS messages stored in the SIM card and
takes necessary action like speed control, direction control etc. There will be a particular code
that needs to be sent through SMS to set the speed and get the speed from the DC motor.
