CLC (Cellular Lightweight Concrete) Brick Making Process using Neural Network and Extreme Learning Method Based on Microcontroller and Visual Studio.Net

摘要

In today's era the technology development is growing so fast and change the system that was originally manual into a system that all operate completely automated. By automating a production system, the number of product will increase. One of the civil materials industry that still use a lot of manual system is light brick making industry or commonly called as CLC (Cellular Lightweight Concrete) brick. A microcontroller-based light brick manufacturing system needs to be applied to optimize the production. The use of arduino mega 2560 microcontroller as the main control in the mixing automation system on this light brick making device will make it easy to do. This tool measures the weight of sand and cement using HX711 load cell sensors as a mass sensor and flow meter sensor as the required water flow sensor in the mixing process. As an actuator the Selenoid valve is useful as an automatic valve on the hole tube of water and foam, while selenoid door lock is useful as an automatic valve on sand holes, cement and stirring tube. The motor is controlled by H-Bridge Driver Motor IBT arduino. To make the system easier (Human Machine Interface) Visual Studio.Net software is applied to monitor and control the process in CLC brick making. With the prototype of automatic mixing system, the used of microcontroller in light brick making is expected to improve the industrial sectors or light brick manufacture who want to optimize the quality and quantity of its production. Automation on this system also makes all processes run fast and does not require a lot of manpower.
