One of the 8051s many powerful features is its integrated UART, otherwise known as a serial port. In this project, the data is transmitted from a microcontroller to remote PC via fiber optic cable using RS232 communication. On transmitter side, a computer is interfaced to MCU using MAX232 to enter the data. On the receiver side, 16 X 2 LCD is used to display the data. This project uses regulated 5V, 750mA power supply. 7805 three terminal voltage regulator is used for voltage regulation. Bridge type full wave rectifier is used to rectify the ac out put of secondary of 230/12V step down transformer.
Fiber optics transmission of digitized messages or information by light
pulses along hair-thin glass fibers. Each fiber is surrounded by a cladding having a high refractive index due to which light is internally reflected and travels the length of the fiber without going out.
Advantages of optical fiber communication:
- they can carry much more information but can be made smaller and lighter than
conventional cables using copper wires or coaxial tubes. They are immune to electromagnetic interference (from lightning, nearby electric motors, and similar sources) and to crosstalk from adjacent wires, and tapping into them is more easily detected. They require fewer repeaters over a given distance
