Abstract
In this project system will detect the thread breakage in TFO (Two for one) machine and then it will display that number of bobbin
in common display provided for worker, so that worker will alert and fill that broken thread in bobbin again and process will
continue. Now with this display one light indication is also provided because if there are more than one breakage at a time in TFO
then it will continuous alert worker that all breakage is solved or not.

INTRODUCTION
History:
In industry the workers on TFO machine were continuously observing the thread breakage of all bobbins of all TFO machines.
This working requires more number of workers and the thread (yarn material) is very thin so its very difficult to observe the thread
breakage so all these factors are affecting the productivity and efficiency of working.

(IJSTE/ Volume 2 / Issue 10 / 152)
In TFO machine there are sections of 9 bobbins together so we made this model for one section of 9 bobbins. Here first we check
for yarn break for that we made spring model. In this spring model yarn is continuously in contact with spring so LED will be on
and it will give specified voltage to controller and when yarn breaks then LED will be off and 0v will be given to controller.
After this, controller will give bobbins number, where yarn is broken, to the ESP-01. Now ESP-01 will transmit that data
wirelessly to the ESP-01 at receiver side. At receiver side, ESP-01 will send that data to atmega32 controller and finally controller
will display that data at LCD. In this way manual observation of yarn by workers could be eliminated. Now worker just has to look
LCD display and when yarn will be broken, then only he should have to refill that yarn in bobbin, so whole process will become
easy and accurate.

II. HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
Transmitter section:
Now, at transmitter side 9 bobbins of TFO machine is connected with controller atmega32 which is connected with wi-fi module
ESP-01. Now when thread is cut, spring model will give 0v to controller. Then controller will transmit the bobbins number serially
to ESP-01 at transmitter side. ESP-01 works on 3.3v supply so we connect 5v to 3.3v voltage converter. Serial transmission of data
can be seen on virtual terminal in proteus software. One LED is also connected with each bobbin to indicate breakage.
Receiver Section:
At receiver side another ESP-01 Wi-Fi module receives the data, which have been transmitted earlier by transmitter side ESP-01,
and it will send that data to atmega32 controller serially. Atmega32 will display the bobbins number to 16x2 LCD.

IV. CONCLUSION
This system becomes very useful for TFO machines in textile industry. It will reduce labour requirement as well as manual
observation of yarn. It is also cost effective solution and easy to operate for workers and accurately shows the bobbins number
where yarn is cut.
