Overview Introduction Problem Solution Practical Constraints Technical Constraints Senior Design II Additions Test Plan Schematic Future Plans
4
Introduction What’s the PPR supposed to do? Control device power using schedule Allow automated control Minimize need for user input after schedule is set +
5
Problem Current power strips have few features No programmable timing schedule No interactive user interface No dimming capability Few methods to exercise schedule control over electronic devices. Unable to control power when away from device
6
Solution "Smart" power strip with enhanced features o Programmable Timing Schedule for AC-switching o PC software application Possible Target Markets Automation Security
7
Practical Constraints
8
Health and Safety Must conform to Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standards for safety o Non-conducive Casing o Fused Overcurrent Protection
9
Economic Must be manufactured for less than $50
10
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

Additional Power Output Test Results
21
Event Repeats Old sorting algorithm ignored expired events New sorting algorithm recognizes repeat flags in expired events and skips the event to the correct RTCC comparison.
