Abstract

This project is about controlling a model of AGV via personal computer. The based aspect and characteri stic of this project is to implement the theory of sending data between two main devices using the serial port RS232. The project was di vided into two major sections which is the input section and the output section. The input section consists of a pc and the microcontroller circuit while the output section includes the relay circuit and the wireless transmitting and receiving circuit. All data will be sent in decimal form to the brain of the project which is the microcontroller 16F877 A. ln testing and creating the system. a remote control car will be used to replace the AGV. The user only has to insert the input range of 0 to 255 in decimal to the panel command box and click the command button to send the data. The data will be convert to binary form by the MAX232 and the least significant bit is set as and the output from the microcontroller output port. An additional relay circuit needed as a switch to connect the supply 9V to the transmitter circuit. The controller circuit acts to send the signal operated by the microcontroller to the receiver transmission at the car. So the output of the user input is that the car will move acco rding to the given input. This project can be applied to the industry where involving many AGVs. It will act as the supervjsory system to all the AGVs and has the ability to interrupt the main routine of each the AGV. In this case, the system will surely a void the AGV from involved in coll ision or hitting each other that will cause a major di sturbance to their operations. At the end of this report, there will be stated the achievement of the objectives of this proj ect. Other than that, the recommendations to improve the project to be more users friendly are given.
