Abstract: - The most widely used motor in industry and other sector is induction motor. So our project works on controlling the speed of
induction motor. This is achieved by using Android phones remotely by the help of Bluetooth technology. Android is open source software,
manufacturers can modify the operating system to suit their respective needs and phones. Bluetooth, which is interfaced with microcontroller,is
used to connect to the Bluetooth modem of control circuit which is connected to the motor. Here the microcontroller used is AVR
microcontroller which is advanced version of 8051.Every time signal i.e. data is sent by android application as per the program written is
executed by microcontroller to deliver supply signal to TRIAC through optical isolation. And hence using wireless technology speed control of
induction motor is achieved.

Keywords: AVR Microcontroller, Bluetooth Module, TRIAC, Optocoupler.

I. Introduction

For ameliorate of quality product many industrial application

requires adjustable speed. In latest technology different
alternate techniques are accessible for the selection of speed of
drive system.Up to the 1980‟s the dc motor was the choice for
variable speeddrive application but having many
disadvantages so that microcontroller transformed research
and development towards control of ac drive.Purpose of this
project is to control thespeedand direction of AC Motor
usingMicrocontroller and Bluetooth with android phone. This
uses a Resistance control technique to control the speed of AC
motor from 0% to 100%.Android is a software stack for
mobiledevices that includes an operating system,middleware
and key applications. Android boasts ahealthy array of
connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and wireless
data over a cellularconnection (for example, GPRS, EDGE -
Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution and 3G).

pulse to the motor in order to rotate and to control the speed of
inductor motor via android application.
Transformer T1 step downs 230 V AC into 9 V AC
and this is given to bridge rectifier. This rectified output is
directly fed to base of Q1 through resistors R1 & R2. Same
rectified output is filtered through C1 and given to voltage
regulator IC 7805 which gives 5V DC output. Output of 7805
is regulated 5 VDC that is given as biasing voltage for both
transistors Q1 & Q2 (same regulated 5 V supply isgiven to
main control section also). Both transistors are connected in
switch configuration. The final output „C‟ is given to main
control section.

By controlling the speed of single phase induction
motor using android phones it is applicable in various
applications like, Drilling machine, Industrial pump, Industrial
drive, Lifts, Cranes ,Conveyors.

As shown in below figure (b) micro controller

ATmega16 along with Optocoupler MOC3021 (for triggering
TRIAC) and commonAnode type bar graph display (for
indicating angle) are used for changing firing angle of TRIAC.
Signal from android phone is transmitted and received by
Bluetooth module and given to the microcontroller. According
to that microcontroller select the combination of Optocoupler
and resistance and hence firing angle of TRIAC is change.

The system is easy to operate and wireless control of

induction motor is achieved. Motor can be turn on or off using
mobile phones. LCD used display the status of current
operation of the system. As the technique is wireless
possibility of getting shock is avoided.

The main disadvantage is that its range is only up to

30 ft. The system becomes complicated if used for 3 phase
induction motor and due to the use of mobile phones it
consumes the battery of consumer.
