Many devices connected to a local area net-work (LAN) are left on continuously, even  when they are not needed, including DSL  and cable modems, routers, wireless access  points, networked hard drives, printer servers and printers. The power consumption of  all these devices can add up to a considerable  fraction of one’s electricity bill. With the simple circuit described here we can ensure that  all these devices are only powered up when  at least one selected host device (such as a PC  or a streaming media client) is turned on. We insert a relay in the mains supply to the  devices whose power is to be switched, along  with a driver circuit controlled from the host  device over a two-wire bus. Optocouplers  provide galvanic isolation. One way to implement the bus is to use the spare pair of conductors that is often available in the existing  LAN cable.   The circuit diagram shows an example con-figuration where there are two controlling  host devices (a streaming media client and a...

The forward reverse motor control is used i a system where forward and backward or upward and downward movement in the operation are needed. An example of which are shown in figures below (a) and (b). Figure below (a) shows forward and backward lateral movement of an overhead crane driven by motor M. Figure below (b) shows a downward and upward movement of a load is driven by motor lifter M. (a) Lateral movement of an overhead crane driven by a motor. (b) Vertical movement of a lift by a motor. Control Operation The clockwise (forward) and counterclockwise (reverse) rotation of a motor can be caused by interchanging the connection of any of the two of its three terminals. Figures (c) and (d) below will show how this can be done. Contractors F and R are interlocked. It means that if the contacts (1-2, 3-4, 5-6) of contractor R can not be closed. On the other hand if the contacts (1-2, 3-4, 5-6) of contractor R are closed, contacts (1-2, 3-4, 5-6) of contractor F can not be closed. Not...

This small circuit can be used to control model railway turnouts operated by AC voltages. A logic level in the range of 5–12 V can be used as the control signal. The coils of the turnout are switched using triacs. Changes in the logic level of the input signal are passed on by the buffer stage built around T1 and T2. The buffer stage is included to boost the current available at the gates of the triacs. If the input goes high, this positive change is passed through via C1. That causes a positive current to flow through D2 (D2 is reverse biased) to the gate of T3. That triac switches on, and power is applied to the turnout coil. Circuit diagram: Model Railway Turnout Control Circuit Diagram This situation persists until C1 is fully charged. No more current flows after that, so the triac does not receive any gate current and switches off. If the input is set low, a negative current flows briefly via C1. It can flow through D2, but not through D1. T4 is switched on now, and the other turn...

A simple approach to this problem can be done inserting a circuit in the preamplifier stage, capable of varying automatically the frequency respo...

This ultra-simple remote control extender is ideal for use with a hidden video recorder. The recorder is a Panasonic NV-SD200 and is used as part of a camera surveillance system. A PICAXE-08-based circuit is used to detect events and control the recorder. It also flashes a LED near the monitor to indicate the number of events since last viewing. Click for larger image Strangely, the NV-SD200 model refused to work with a number of commercial infrared remote control extenders, hence the need for this design. As a bonus, it uses less power than a traditional extender (no plugpacks) and the remote can still be used in the normal manner. As shown, an additional 5mm infrared LED is mounted directly in front of the equipment to be controlled. This is cabled back to a convenient location near the monitor and terminated in a 3.5mm plug. To modify the remote control unit, break the circuit to the anode of the existing infrared LED and wire in a 3.5mm headphone socket. In most cases, the LED will...

Controlling temperature has been a prime objective in various applications including refrigerators, air conditioners, air coolers, heaters, industrial temperature conditioning and so on. Temperature controllers vary in their complexities and algorithms. Some of these use simple control techniques like simple on-off control while others use complex Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) or fuzzy logic algorithms. In this project Shawon Shahryiar discusses about a simple control algorithm and utilize it intelligently unlike analogue controllers. Here are the features of this controller: Audio-visual setup for setting temperature limits. Fault detection and evasive action. Temperature monitoring and display. Audio-visual warning. System status. Settable time frame. Data retention with internal EEPROM memory. [ ]

A simple DC motor controller circuit using NE555 is shown here. Many DC motor speed control circuits have been published here but this is the first one using NE555 timer IC. In addition to controlling the motors speed its direction of rotation can be also changed using this circuit. A PWM circuit based on timer NE555 is the heart of this circuit. NE555 is wired as an astable multivibrator whose duty cycle can be adjusted by varying the POT R1. The output of IC1 is coupled to the base of transistor Q1 which drives the motor according to the PWM signal available at its base. Higher the duty cycle the average voltage across motor will be high which results in higher motor speed and vice versa. Change of DC motor direction is attained using the DPDT switch S1 which on application just toggles the polarity applied to the motor. The circuit can be assembled on a Vero board or PCB. Use 12V DC for powering the IC. Vm is the power supply for motor and its value depends on the motors voltage rat...

We all know what a motor is and what it does. The simplest way to run a motor is to just connect it to a power source. For a DC motor, that would mean, just connecting the motor to the DC voltage that the motor was rated for (or less). But, can you control the speed? Yes. The simplest method is to control the speed of the motor by controlling the voltage the motor runs off. Imagine we have a 12V motor. If you run it off 12V, you get maximum speed (you can get more at higher voltage, but let's not go over rated specifications!). So, simple logic dictates that as we decrease the voltage to the motor, the speed must decrease. You can use a simple LM317 regulator to adjust the voltage to the motor and thus the speed. But, this method of speed control has one huge disadvantage - inefficiency when using a linear regulator (and you may find the motor not running at all at lower voltages). Let's talk about the inefficiency. If we use a linear regulator to give 6V output from 12V input,...

The adjustment control for the contrast of an LC-Display is typically a 10-k potentiometer. This works fine, provided that the power supply voltage is constant. If this is not the case (for example, with a battery power supply) then the potentiometer has to be repeatedly adjusted. Very awkward, in other words. The circuit described here offers a solution for this problem. The aforementioned potentiometer is intended to maintain a constant current from the contrast connection (usually pin 3 or Vo) to ground. A popular green display with 2x16 characters ‘supplies’ about 200 µA. At a power supply voltage of 5 V there is also an additional current of 500 µA in the potentiometer itself. Not very energy efficient either. Now there is an IC, the LM334, which, with the aid of one resistor, can be made into a constant current source. The circuit presented here ensures that there is a current of 200 µA to ground, independent of the power supply voltage. By substituting a 2.2-k? potentiometer for...
