<description><![CDATA[hi, I am a beginner when it comes to hardware so i though that i should get some help.<br />I want to make this temperature controlled fan and since i am using 15V AC power supply instead of 230V AC. what i want to know is if i would have to change the triac and the resister shown in the diagram below and also if i can use MOC3041 Triac driver optoisolator (RC) instead of MOC3011 ??<br />any help will be much appreciated.<br /><a class='bbcode' href='http://www.8051projects.net/e107_files/public/1228234792_12761_FT0_circuit_diagram1.gif' rel='external'  target='_blank'><img src='http://www.8051projects.net/e107_files/public/1228234792_12761_FT0_circuit_diagram1_.gif' class='bbcode' alt='' width='500' height='395'  /></a><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[the chances are that the opto isolator/driver may not work at such low voltages. the triac will work. you can get rid of the MOC3021/11/41, if you can rectify the 15 VAC into DC and directly use the triac (or SCR) with 1K resistor to its gate and use a normal optocoupler like PC817 or MCT2E<br /><br /><br /><br />Arun]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi |digital-guy<br /><br />As a  beginner I  would recommend you use a relay instead of the BT136<br />and the MOC3011<br />Put  the output of pin 22 through a 1K resister to drive a transistor,<br />to operate a relay.<br />What wattage is your fan ?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[thankyou for your reply arun. but from this all i understand soo far is to keep everything in the circuit and replace the MOC3011 with optocoupler as shown in the diag below. what i dont understand is to where to put the rectifier on the circuit. I mean if i convert the ac to dc, what value of dc would this give me? and if i am converting ac into dc then can i use both ac and dc fans ???<br />can i use optocoupler ISP815 instead of pc817 or mct2e because i cant find them. and can i also use "DF01 BRIDGE RECTIFIER 1A DIL4 RC" on my circuit?<br />sorry to ask u soo many questions but i'm soo confuesd <img src='http://www.8051projects.net/e107_images/emotes/yahoo/17.gif' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' /> <br />updated diagram: http://www.geocities.com/niu_logic/circuit_diagram2.GIF<br /><br />PS: the fan is 15V AC and the rest of the information is on the circuit diagram in the link above.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<br /> Hello digital-guy,<br /><br />First things first - tell me which supply are you actually using for the Fan motor ? AC or DC<br /><br />Yes, if you use DC supply for fan then you can remove the bridge ( but you first said you had 15V AC ). The LED part of the optocoupler in my diagram should be connected the same way its in your original schematic. and you don't have to connect the pin 6 ( collector), leave it floating.<br /><br /><br />I think you have to be clear in what you intend to do, you had first said you have a 15V AC supply for fan and now you are saying you have  15VDC supply - if the latter is true then you can simply use a power mosfet to run the DC fan ( BTW you haven't said anything about fan's wattage).<br /><br /><br /><br />Arun<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[hello arun<br />im very sorry if i have not made it clear about my power supply. basically i am still thinking about the power supply and which one to use. looking at my options now...i think i should use a 15V dc power supply as i wont have to use the bridge. this also means i should use a 15V dc fan. So u mean the circuit should look like this below if i am using 15v dc power supply and 15v dc fan.<br /><br /><br /><a class='bbcode' href='http://www.8051projects.net/e107_files/public/1228416361_12761_FT15092_circuit_diagram3.gif' rel='external'  target='_blank'><img src='http://www.8051projects.net/e107_files/public/1228416361_12761_FT15092_circuit_diagram3_.gif' class='bbcode' alt='' width='500' height='395'  /></a><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[if you are using DC power supply then you can control your fan with a darlington transistor or a simple optocoupler, you need not to have a triac there.<br /><br />or you can make use of dc motor driver like L293D (see tutorial for more information) its easy to use and controls motor over good range of voltage and current.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<br /> hello digital -Guy,<br /><br />to make things simple, use the circuit i had given on "Wed Dec 03 2008, 09:06PM" it works for both AC and DC  Fans.<br /><br />use AC supply if you use AC fan, use DC supply if you use DC fan, in both the cases no changes are to be done in the circuit diagram.<br /><br /><br />hope this clears your confusion.<br /><br /><br />Arun]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[hello arun<br />thanks for making it very simple for ppl like me to understand....really appreciated it. but 1 little question just to make sure i got it right..<br />now that i am using 15vDC power supply would the circuit look like this below<br />and the triac in the diagram is BT136 which i can find but which one is the optocoupler model.<br />i also noticed that u said that the led part of the optocoupler should be connected in the same way as it was with the moc3011. but in moc3011 on the left hand side, the upper pin(pin1)  is going to 5v dc and the lower pin2 one going to port22 of 8051. pin6 into triac and pin4 into resistor.<br />but in optocoupler pin4 is connected to the resistor which is connected to triac and pin5 is connected to 5v DC. and im assuming the pin2 is going into port22 of 8051 and pin1 to 5v dc if i am right ?<br /><a class='bbcode' href='http://www.8051projects.net/e107_files/public/1228492236_12761_FT15092_diagram.jpg' rel='external'  target='_blank'><img src='http://www.8051projects.net/e107_files/public/1228492236_12761_FT15092_diagram_.jpg' class='bbcode' alt='' width='500' height='236'  /></a><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<br />  digital guy, you can use any general opto like : PC817, MCT2E, 4N25, ........ etc if you have any other opto on hand then search for its datasheet to know its pin out.<br /><br />pin out of MOC3011/21/41 etc are different from other optos so don't be rigid on pin numbers.<br /><br />opto connections: ( for any optocoupler)<br /><br />LED side : Anode to + 5Vdc, cathode to pin 22 of micro thru series resistor 330ohms.<br /><br />transistor side : collector to +5dc, emitter to gate of SCR/Triac/transistor/mosfet thru a series resistor of 1 K.<br /><br />don't forget to connect GND of your 15 Vdc and 5 Vdc supply together ( if there are derived from separate sources)<br /><br /><br />it cannot be more simpler than this, i hope<br /><br /><br />Arun]]></description>
