I. INTRODUCTION
In today's life, everyone gives importance to time. Time doesn't expect anybody. Everything should be performed in time and
accurately, such a limitless amount of problems are occurred. Hence to avoid such a problems we should use automatic college bell
for saving time and money. During this micro-controller and software is employed for controlling all the functions and time is
displayed on four 7-segment Display by using RTC. A bell is an instrument employed in schools, colleges that indicates the time for
faculty kids, Faculty, Employees. When it's time to trip the category and when it's time to vary classes during the day. No other
instrument is such a touch. In schools, industries, colleges, and railway stations and in real time applications bell could even be a
vital instrument and it's simple to use and handle. When now equals to the bell ringing time, then relay for the bell is switched on.
After every classes, once employee is engaged into operating the bell automatic use bell helps us to avoid this. to style bell software
we used visual studio 2017 software. During this project we use C# language. During this software for security purpose we design
authentication form. That software provides 2 modes, first is regular mode and second is exam mode. In regular mode two separate
panels, one is to line the time for Monday-Friday and second is for Saturday. User can changed panel from setting panel. In exam
mode we provide one panel to line different time for exam purpose. For device connection we are using serial communication port
and cargo the COM port of our computer

II. LITERATURE SURVEY

This paper published for hardware implementation of a low power automatic bell which can be used in educational institutions and
the power estimation details. Bell rings automatically and then displays the time in the 7-segment display continuously. The low
power aspect is brought about by using” SLEEP” mode in pic micro-controller which kips the system in idle state when it is not in
use. The main advantage of this project is that it gives us the accurate time and no manual operation is needed while using very low
power. The system is made by introduce a serial interface between pic micro-controller (PIC16F877A) and a real time clock (RTC)
IC, DS1307. The software program coding part is done using MPLAB IDE and hardware implementation is done using the
components. The estimated power consumption is also given.This paper describes a full automatic teletypewriter message switching
system for use in private-line networks involving one or more switching centres and a multiplicity of local or long-distance lines,
each of which may have one or more stations. This system provides fast teletypewriter communication from any station to any other
station or group of stations in the network. At its point of origin a message first is perforated in tape accompanied by suitable
directing and end-of-message characters, thereafter it is transmitted automatically, stored temporarily in perforated tape at a
switching office, and then routed at high speed to its point or points of destination. Important features are the arrangements provided
to permit efficient use of long full duplex transmission lines, the full automatic handling of multiple-address messages with only a
single originating transmission, and the various guards and alarms which are provided to protect against loss of messages in case of
trouble. The Bell Telephone System wire spring relays have become the basic circuit components of telephone switching systems
developed during the past few years. These relays are provided in many varieties to meet circuit needs.

The DS1307 serial Real-Time clock may be a low power, full binary coded decimal (BCD) clock/calendar plus 56 bytes of NV
SRAM. Address and data are transferred serially via a 2-wire, bi-directional bus. The clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes,
hours, day, date, month, and year information.
The tip of the month date is automatically adjusted for months with fewer than 31 days, including corrections for intercalary year.
The clock operates in either the 24 hours or 12 hours format with Am/PM indicator. The DS1307 features a built-in power sense
circuit that detects power failures and automatically switches to the battery supply.

C. Power Supply
The first function of an influence supply is to convert electrical phenomenon from a source to the right voltage, current, and
frequency to power the load. As a result, power supplies are sometimes remarked as wattage converters. Some power supplies are
separate standalone pieces of kit, while others are built into the load appliances that they power.

D. Relay

Short for universal serial bus, USB is that the plug and play interface that enables a computer to speak with the peripheral and other
devices. USB connected devices cover a board range; anything from keyboards and mice, to music players and flash drivers. USB
may be accustomed send power to send devices, like smart phones and tablets, still as charge the batteries. The primary commercial
releases of theUSB (version 1.0) was in January 1996. This industry standard was then quickly adopted by Intel, Compaq, Microsoft,
and other companies.

G. Bell

Fig. 7. Bell

An electric bell may be a mechanical or electronic bell that functions by means of an electromagnet. When an electrical current is
applied, it produces a repetitive buzzing, clanging or ringing sound. Electric bells are widely used at railroad crossings, in
telephones, fire and burglar alarms, as school bells, doorbells, and alarms in industrial plants, since the late 1800s, but they're now
being widely replaced with electronic sounders. an electrical bell consists of 1 or more electromagnets, fabricated from a coil of
insulated wire around an iron bar, which are a magnet for an iron strip armature with a clapper. When an electrical current flows
through the coils, the electromagnet creates a field which pulls the armature towards it, causing the hammer to strike the bell.

IV. WORKING
Power ON the switch and connected USB port to the computer. In this project we used two switches are provided in the circuit. First
is used for increasing hours and second is for increasing minute by pressing this switch. We should adjust the timing in hours and
minute according to our computer time. After adjusting the time, controller write this time in the RTC. The RTC will increment time
accordingly and send it to the micro-controller. This command is using I2C protocol. When controller get the time, it convert the
data in digit to 7-segment and send it to 7-segment to display it. After that we have to set the bell time in the software. For that first
we have to open the software name as Bell. To design bell software we used visual studio 2017 software. In this project we have use
C# language. In this software for security purpose we design authentication form. That software provides 2 modes, first is regular
mode and second is exam mode. In regular mode two separate panels, one is to set the time for Monday-Friday and second is for
Saturday. User can changed panel from setting panel. In exam mode we provide one panel to set different time for exam purpose.
For device connection we are using serial communication port and load the COM port of our computer.

VIII. CONCLUSIONS
Now a day’s bells are operated manually in schools and colleges because of this there are many problems occurs. To overcome from
this, we have decided to prepare the circuit as well as software which will be operated manually and the ringing of bell will starts by
its given time.
Automatic college bell can be used in school, colleges as well as industries for accuracy purpose. As per to save man power and also
to save time its cost effective project which can be built using easily available equipment. It can be used in real time in the school
and in the colleges, this can included in every educational institution. As per the timing we can easily programmed by common
laymen and can also vary timing for some classes as per the schedule of the school or collages. They display of the time in the
project also increases its effectiveness.
