ABSTRACT
 (Keywords: RTC, EEPROM, AT89C52Micro Controller)

The main aim of the project is to ring bells of schools/colleges/companies etc.,

according to the time schedule programmed in that timer. Here the schedules called as
hours, minute’s duration of bell are programmed through front panel keyboard.
We have 20 intervals per day with variable duration and there is one more option,
according to week the schedule can be altered. One AC outlet is provided at the output of
timer to connect any kind of module that is connected. The project is constructed with
MCS 51 series micro controller, RTC, Relays, EEPROM, Power supply and etc., The
RTC has battery backup to run time and date during power fail cases. The program is
written in assembly to read the data from RTC then compared with schedule written in
EEPROM. The bell is at ON state for a specific period (Programmable) when both the
data’s are equal. We have established a bi-directional synchronous serial communication
to read/write data from RTC and EEPROM.

APLLICATION:
 In schools and college’s bell according to the time schedule.
 In water works department to switch ON or OFF water according to the time
schedule.
 In electricity department to switch ON or OFF power according to the time
schedule.
 It is also used in the factories and industries for ring the sirens according to the
their time schedule.
