WHAT IS AN EMBEDDED
SYSTEM?
II In built
Embedded System =
Computer Inside a Product
Embedded System
 Embedded system is combination of hardware &
software for specific application.
 Embedded system means the processor is embedded
into that application.
 An embedded product uses a microprocessor or
microcontroller to do one task only.
 In an embedded system, there is only one application
software that is typically burned into ROM.
How an embedded system works..?
 It works with the help of both the hardware
and software requirements
 Hardware: processor, memories, peripherals,
power supply etc..,
 Software: assembly language program (ALP)
like c, c++ ..,
Types of embedded systems
 Simple embedded system
ex: small electrical equipments
completes its work with in the
approximated time
 Complex embedded system
ex: used in military missiles for
target based system
Examples of embedded systems
• Electronic devices in the kitchen
E.g.: bread machines, food processors,
microwave ovens
• Living Rooms
E.g.: televisions, stereos, remote controls
• Work places
E.g.: fax, pagers, laser printers, cash
registers, credit card readers

Micro controller
Micro controller
 The first micro controller was implemented in
1968 by a car company wolves wagons in
their cars.
 The 1st micro controller (8048) was developed
by Intel in 1976.
 Found in 1984.
 Corporate headquarters located in San Jose, California.
AVR basic architecture was developed by two students ‘Alf-
Egil Bogen’and ‘Vegard Wollan’ at the Norwegian Institute of
Technology.
 IP Core was sold to Atmel by Alf and Vegard

DETECTION FACTORS:
 Six factors typically affect the Probability of
Detection (Pd) of most area surveillance
(volumetric) sensors, although to varying degrees.






These are the:
1) Amount and pattern of emitted energy;
2) Size of the object;
3) Distance to the object;
4) Speed of the object;
5) Direction of movement
SENSORS APPLICATIONS:
 Most sensors have been designed with a specific


application in mind.
The environment categorizes these applications
where they are most commonly employed.
The two basic environments or categories are
exterior and interior.
Each of the two basic categories has a number of
sub-sets, such as fence, door, window, hallway, and
room.
The first two of the following set of graphics show a
“FREE TREE” illustration of the sensors most
applicable to the these two environments.

forth, there are a number of possible causes.
If you are using a battery power supply, the batteries may be too
weak to power the motor properly.
Note; Batteries wear out quickly because the current draw from
stepper motors is usually high.
If you substituted another transistor for the TIP120 NPN
transistor, the substitute transistor may not be switching
properly or the current load of the stepper motor may be too
great. Solution; use TIPO120 transistors.
You have the stepper motor improperly wired into the circuit.
Check the coils using an ohmmeter and rewire if necessary.
The pulse frequency is too high. If the pulses to the stepper
moor are going faster that the motor can react, the motor will
malfunction.
Conclusion
 This is to conclude that this project Automatic control
of railway gate is useful to know when the train is
passes through the gate, and to close or open the gate
automatically as the train is about to reach the gate.
Through which accidents can be avoided as people
tend to cross the track in spite the gate is being closed
