Aim: - IOT based project Arduino RFID Solenoid Lock
Components Required: - Arduino UNO, relay module, RFID module, Solenoid lock, LED,
Buzzer, breadboard, jumpers.
Application Details: -
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is an inexpensive and accessible technology. It can be
used in many applications such as access control, security, asset tracking, people tracking,
etc. The RFID Door Lock system is generally used in hotels, offices, and many other places
where you just have to place the card near RFID reader for a second and the door will be
opened.
Sensors used: -
• Arduino Uno: The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the IOT
ATmega328.It has 14-digit input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM
outputs),6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz ceramic resonator, a USB connection, a power
jack, an ICSP header and a reset button.
• Relay Module: It works on the principle of an electromagnetic attraction. When
the circuit of the relay senses the fault current, it energises the electromagnetic field
which produces the temporary magnetic field. This magnetic field moves
the relay armature for opening or closing the connections. We can control high
voltage electronic devices using relays. A Relay is actually a switch which is
electrically operated by an electromagnet. The electromagnet is activated with a low
voltage, for example 5 volts from a microcontroller and it pulls a contact to make or
break a high voltage circuit.
• RFID Module: Radio frequency identification system is an automatic technology
and aids machines or computers to identify objects, record metadata or control
individual target through radio waves. This is the wireless non-contact use of radio
frequency waves to transfer data. Tagging items with RFID tags allows users to
automatically and uniquely identify and track inventory and assets.
• Solenoid Lock: A solenoid lock works on the electronic-mechanical locking
mechanism. This type of lock has a slug with a slanted cut and a good mounting
bracket. When the power is applied, DC creates a magnetic field that moves the slug
inside and keeps the door in the unlocked position. The slug will retain its position
until the power is removed. When the power is disconnected the slug moves outside
and locks the door. It doesn’t use any power in a locked state. To drive the solenoid
lock you would need a power source that can give 12V at 500mA.
• Buzzer: Buzzer is an audio signal device, which may be mechanical,
electromechanical, or piezoelectric. Typical uses of buzzers in the industry in an
alarm device, which makes a buzzing or beeping noise while need buzzing.
Working of the system: -
The system has three separate parts, an RFID reader, a microcontroller, and an access
controller. The RFID reader reads the RFID tags and the microcontroller accept the data from
the reader process it and use the result to either grant or deny access to the user using
access controller. The project can be enhanced by connecting an LCD display to display
if access is granted or denied instead of serial monitor.

Control Flow: -
All necessary information about all users is stored in the system. In other to add a new user,
we must first register the user with the system then, corresponding user information is burn
in RFID tag. The new tag will now be accessible through the system. When a user comes to
the entry point where the RFID reader is installed and places the RFID tag close (contactless)
to the reader, the system checks whether it is a registered user or not. If the user is
registered, the tag information is matched with the user information stored in system.
