Overview• Introduction• Problem• Solution• Final Product• Practical Constraints• Bill of Materials• Technical Constraints• Software Testing• Hardware Testing• Questions

Introduction

What is the PPR supposed to do?• Control device power using schedule• Allow automated control• Minimize need for user input after schedule is

set

+

Problem 

 • Current power strips have limited features

No programmable timing schedule No interactive user interface No dimming capability No battery backup

Solution

 • "Smart" power strip with enhanced features

o Programmable Timing Schedule for AC-switchingo PC software applicationo Dimmingo Battery Backup

• Possible Target Markets• Task Automation• Security

Final Product

Pre-Build Concept

Finished Design

Practical Constraints

Health and Safety

• Must conform to Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standards for safetyoNon-conducive Casingo Fused Overcurrent Protection

Economic• Must be manufactured for less than $50

Technical Constraints

Technical Constraints   

• Real time clock must operate at all times, under all power conditions

• Timing schedule accuracy must include Years, Months, Days, Hours, Minutes, Seconds

• PC is required to operate user interface

• Must supply power to internals from 120VAC

• Switching power must operate up to 120VAC at 15A (NEMA 5-15 Standard) [1]

• Must support output dimming

Software Tests• Text File I/O• Serial Port I/O • Conversion Method• Exception Handling• Event Deletion Method

Text File Test• Enter Event into GUI• Event is saved to text file

Text File Test• Text file data is loaded

into memory upon opening of application

Serial Port Test

• Serial Port was scoped to see if packet is being sent

Error Checking Test

Conversion Test• Convert Event class

data into packet format

Hardware Tests

PCB Testing

• Populate in sections• Test each section directly after population• Exception with surface mount(PIC)• Tests:

– Power (AC/DC 120VAC to 5VDC, 5VDC to 3.3VDC, Zero Crossing)

– PIC communication(programming)– RTCC– TRIAC control
