Design and Simulation of an Embedded Computer System for Fabric Structure

The ultimate goal of this research work is to provide a simulation test for a microcontroller based system to be embedded into weaving machine for Monitoring and controlling the design operation. It will replace conventional mechanical methods as a forward step in embedded systems for industrial automation and mechatronics applications. The proposed embedded system aimed to read the design parameters entered by the designer using keypad, calculate the colors repeats insertions, generate the design in sequences of binary digits and apply the design on the machine with machine status consideration. Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) microcontroller, keypad, Liquid Cristal Display (LCD), relays, solenoids, sensors and switches are used for system design in addition to that the MikroC editor used for system programming in C language and Proteus electronics simulation environment.
