Abstract
An embedded system based design consists of a controller which is used to measure the current and voltage rating for the pelletizer. Based on the above parameters the load handled by the motor is calculated in a real time manner. The novelty of the proposed system is to set the predefined threshold value to the current drawn by the motor on both the ends such as, lower and upper limits. The current drawn by the motor exceeds the threshold value, the control unit in the proposed system automatically cut the power supply feed to the motor and protect the pelletizer from dangerous hazards. On the other hand, the motor current less than threshold value will automatically increase the load supplied to pelletizer by controlling the conveyor. The proposed system improve the work efficiency up to 50%, when compared with the traditional system and also the pelletizer activities are logged automatically round the clock. The proposed system is realized using PIC16F877 and CCS Compiler. The main objective of the paper is to increase the efficiency and ensure the flow of process of the industry uninterruptedly by control the load of the pelletizer using embedded system.
