ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

A lha mdulillah. finall y the author had completed fina l yea r project report

successfull y. Lots of experience and knowledge were gained throughout this period.

There are severa l indi vidual s. w ho s hould be praised and me ntioned here. Without them.

this report and the w ho le training program w ill not be s uccessful. The author wo uld li ke

to express greatest gratitude to Merc iful God. Allah S.W.T as for His b lessings and

merc y. fo r completing this final report and final year project. The author wou ld also like

to his supervisor, w ho were very he lpful in giv ing theoretical, hands on experie nce, so

man y help such as info rmation, announcement etc. Besides, hi s personality as ab le to

listen and received author proble ms are trul y make author so much pleasure. He is Mr

Syed Najib B Syed Salim. A ltho ugh he recently take over the respons ibilities of being

the author supervisor, he supervised the author since the previous supervisor, Mr. Fahmi

B Miskon continued his studies, until the last day of project period and always

s upporting the author· s activities a nd giving the autho r chances to seek for new

experie nce. The author reall y apprec iates a ll the hard work and the time spent, desp ite

hi s bundle of workload. Aside from that, author would like a lso to express gratitude to

other mates of supervisor s uch as Mohammad Latif, Mansur and The ngkili . Thank you

fo r the ir cooperati on and priceless adv ices. Besides. the a uthor a lso wants to thank to

project pane l who is Mr. Maslan and Mi ss Mariam because o f the ir honorable and

generosity to give implements and ad vices for my project presentatio n and report.

Fina ll y. th e last but not least. milli on thanks to my parents. fell ow co lleagues and all

Ko lej Un ivers iti Teknika l Kebangsaan Malaysia (KUTKM) staffs for all the cooperation

and supports in o rder to fi ni sh this project successfully.

ABSTRACT

This project is abo ut contro lling a mode l of AGV via personal computer. The based

a spect and characteri stic of thi s project is to implement the theory of sendin g data

betw een two main dev ices using the seria l po rt RS2 32 . The project was di vided into two

maj or secti ons w hich is the input sectio n and the output section. The input secti on

consists of a pc and the microco ntroller circuit while the output section includes the

relay circuit and the w ireless transmitting and recei ving c ircuit. All data w ill be sent in

decimal fo rm to the brain of the project which is the microco ntroller 16F877 A . ln testing and creating the system. a rem ote co ntro l car w ill be used to replace the AGV. The user

o nly has to insert the input range of 0 to 2 55 in decimal to the panel command box and

click the command butto n to send the data. The data will be convert to binary form by

the MA X232 and th e least s ign ificant bit is set as and the o utput fro m the

microco ntroller output p o rt. An additi o nal relay circuit needed as a switch to connect the

suppl y 9V to the transmitter c ircuit. The controller circuit acts to send the s igna l

o perated by the microcontroller to the receiver trans mi ssio n at the car. So the output of

the user input is that the car w ill move acco rdin g to th e g iven input. Thi s project can be

app lied to the industry where invo lving many AGVs. It w ill act as the supervjsory

system to a ll the A GVs and has the ability to interrupt the ma in ro utin e of each the

A GV.

In

this case, the system w ill s ure ly a void the A G V from invo lved in coll ision or

hitting each other that w ill cause a maj o r di sturbance to the ir o perati ons. At th e end of

thi s report, the re w ill be stated the achi evement of the objectives of thi s proj ect. Other

than that, the recommendations to impro ve the project to be mo re users friendl y are

g1ven.

ABSTRAK

Projek

ini

adalah berkenaan mengawal suatu model ' AGV' menggunakan komputer

peribadi. Aspek dan ciri-ciri asas yang digunakan

di

dalam projek ini adalah berkenaan

teori penghantaran data diantara dua peranti utama dengan menggunakan pot serial

RS232. Projek ini terbahagi kepada dua seksyen utama iaitu seksyen masukkan dan

seksyen keluaran. Seksyen masukkan terdiri daripada komputer peribadi dan litar

mikropengawal manakala seksyen keluaran pula merangkumi litar geganti dan litar

penghantar dan penerima tanpa wayar. Kesemua data

akan

dihantar dalam berbentuk

desimal kepada otak projek ini iaitu mikropengawal 16F877 A. Dalam pengujian dan

mengolah sistem, kereta kawalan jauh

akan

digunakan menggantikan ' AGV'. Pengguna

hanya perlu mamasukkan masukkan berjulat 0 hingga 255 dalam bentuk desimal pada

panel

araban dan menekan punat hantar untuk menghantar data. Data akan diubah

kepada bentuk binari oleh peranti MAX232 dan bit terendah akan ditetapkan pada pot

keluaran pada mikropengawal. Litar geganti tambahan diperlukan sebagai suis untuk

menyambungkan sumber bekalan 9V kepada litar penghantar. Litar pengawal bertujuan

menghantar signal yang dihasilkan oleh mikropengawal kepada litar penerima pada

kereta kawalan jauh. Jadi, hasil daripada masukkan pengguna, kereta kawalan jauh

akan

bergerak berdasarkan nilai masukkan yang diberi. Projek ini dapat diaplikasikan

kedalam industri yang melibatkan banyak penggunaan 'AGV' . Ia akan berfungsi sebagai

pemantau system kepada semua ' AGV' dan berkebolehan mengganggu rutin utama

setiap ' AGV' . Dalam kes ini, system

akan

memastikan kesemua ' AGV' tidak berlanggar

atau pelanggaran yang akan menyebabkan gangguan besar pada operasi mereka. Pada

akhir laporan

ini,

terdapat kesimpulan yang menceritakan tentang pencapaian objektif

projek ini. Selain itu, cadangan bagi memperbaiki projek ini supaya lebih mesra

pengguna ada diberikan.
