SYNOPSIS
Digital access control systems have several benefits. It can keep track of people
entering and exiting the facility, increase safety and reduce chances of thefts and
accidents. Also, it can be controlled via a centralized control system. Keeping this in
mind, this project aims to develop a Password Based Access Control System using
8051 Microcontroller to be used in organizations like Schools, Hospitals, Office
spaces, Industrial areas etc. A security lock is created using an electronic control
assembly, which controls the output load through a password. This output load can be
a motor or a lamp or any other mechanical/electrical load.
A preset 5-digit password is stored in the code memory of the system. The system
comprises of a micro controller (8051 series), an RFID Reader module, an LCD
module (16x2) to display messages, a 12 volts relay (to control output), and a power
supply circuitry to give power to microcontroller, LCD module and the relay. The
system collects 5-digit user input, compares the user input with the preset password
inside program and if the user input and stored password match, access will be
granted (by opening the door with the help of relay for a few seconds and closing it
automatically after stipulated time). If there is a mismatch between user input and
stored password, access will be denied (by not opening the closed door – that is by
keeping the relay in OFF position)
3. Hardware Requirements
6. Expected Output
To demonstrate the working of the project, a motor is used instead of a door and the
lock. The motor is interfaced to the password security system using an SPDT relay.
An LCD module (16x2) is used to display status messages.
There are two possible outputs. One for Successful Access and one for Failed Access.
• Successful Access:
If the password entered by the user matches with the stored password inside
the program memory of 8051, it is considered as a Successful Access. A
message “Access Granted” will be displayed on LCD Module. The relay will
be turned ON (for 30 seconds) and hence the motor will rotate in clockwise
direction indicating the door is opened. The relay will then rotate the motor in
the anti-clockwise direction (closing the door) after the set time (say 30
seconds) to prevent any further access.
• Failed Access:
If the password entered by the user does not match with the stored password
inside the program memory of 8051, it is considered as a Failed Access. A
message “Access Denied” will be displayed on the LCD Module. The relay
will not be turned ON and hence the motor will also not rotate indicating no
motion of the door.
