How can we interface relay using 8051 microcontroller?
Table of Contents
Interfacing Relay with 8051 Of SPDT relays are used. Both the relays operate on 5V DC. The outputs of both the terminals of the relay are taken out on the connecter to connect the external circuitry. The relay can be connected to the Microcontroller through any of the selected port (P0.
What is relay interfacing?
Relays are devices which allow low power circuits to switch a relatively high Current/Voltage ON/OFF. For a relay to operate a suitable pull-in & holding current should be passed through its coil.
Can I connect relay directly to microcontroller?
A relay should not be directly connected to a microcontroller, it needs a driving circuit.
Is required to interface an electromechanical relay to 8051?
Interfacing solid state relay to the 8051 is similar to that of an electromechanical relay, but it does not require a driver circuit. The main reason for this is that it does not cause problems like back EMF and can be controlled directly by using a microcontroller.
Why do we use ULN2803 while interfacing a relay with 8051?
Why do we need a ULN2803 in driving a relay? Explanation: We need a ULN2803 for driving a relay because the relay coil requires 10mA or more current to be energized. If microcontroller pins are not able to provide sufficient current to drive relays then we need ULN2803 for driving relays.
Which of the following interface is used for waveform generation using the 8051 microcontrollers?
In this section we will see how DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) using Intel 8051 Microcontroller. We will also see the sinewave generation using DAC. The Digital to Analog converter (DAC) is a device, that is widely used for converting digital pulses to analog signals.
Which of the following pin of relay is connected to microcontroller?
The L1 and L2 is the internal electromagnetic coil’s pin. We need to control these two pins for turning the relay ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’. Next three pins are POLE, NO and NC. The pole is connected with the internal metal plate which changes its connection when the relay turns on.
How do you use a relay in a circuit?
A relay is an electrically operated switch. They commonly use an electromagnet (coil) to operate their internal mechanical switching mechanism (contacts). When a relay contact is open, this will switch power ON for a circuit when the coil is activated.
Which basic driver is required for interfacing of relay with microcontroller?
The transistor is required for driving the relay as it requires more than 50mA of current, that the microcontroller is unable to provide. We can also use ULN2003 instead the transistor, it is a wiser choice if more than two or three relays are required for the application, check the Relay module circuit.
How many pins are used to connect the relay to the microcontroller?
Every relay normally consists three inputs pins such as VCC, GND and signal etc. Similarly, it also consists of three output pins such as NC (normally close), NO (normally open) and COM (common). Supply voltages are applied at VCC and GND pin which are normally 5V dc and signal voltages are applied at signal pin.
What is the advantage of interfacing DC motor with 8051 microcontrollers?
The main purpose of DC interfacing with 8051 microcontroller is for controlling the speed of the motor. The DC motor is an electrical machine with a rotating part termed as a rotor which has to be controlled.
Why do you need a ULN2803 in driving a relay?
Solution: We need a ULN2803 for driving a relay because more current is generally required for driving a relay that is generally not provided by a micro controller, so we need a ULN2803 to increase the current limit.
How do I interface the relay with an 8051 microcontroller?
To interface the relay with an 8051, follow these steps. In our case, we are using Proteus as the simulation software and the AT89C51 variant of the 8051 microcontroller. Connect the oscillator circuit to pins 19 and 20. This includes a crystal oscillator and two capacitors of 22uF each. Connect them to the pins, as shown in the diagram.
What is the function of the diode on the 8051?
The diode provides protection to the transistor from the back EMF of the inductor in the electromagnet. Interfacing solid state relay to the 8051 is similar to that of an electromechanical relay, but it does not require a driver circuit.
What is a relays in microcontroller?
A relay is an electrically operated switch which uses small electronic stimuli from an external device to control high power peripherals. The construction of the relay helps to provide electrical isolation between two circuits which is very important in the case of microcontrollers.
Can I use a89c51 microcontroller to power a relay?
A microcontroller will not able to supply current required for the proper working of a relay. The maximum current that A89C51 microcontroller can sink is 15mA while a relay needs about 50 – 100mA current. A relay is activated by energizing its coil.
