Abstract:
In this experiment, introduction of proteus professional software for designing Electrical and
Electronic systems are studied. Proteus is a simulation and design software tool developed by
Lab center Electronics for Electrical and Electronic circuit design. It is a software suite
containing schematic, simulation as well as PCB designing. During experiment, two circuits are
drawn. First one is simple and then second circuit is drawn with ammeter and voltmeter. And at
the end, LED current in amperes and LED voltage in volts is observed by changing resistance of
resistor.

Title:
Introduction to Proteus Professional software for designing Electrical and Electronics
systems.

Introduction:
Objectives:
1) To familiar with Proteus Professional software.
2) To study how can we draw electric circuits on Proteus Professional software.
Theory:
The Proteus Design Suite is a proprietary software tool suite used primarily for electronic
design automation. The software is used mainly by electronic design engineers and technicians
to create schematics and electronic prints for manufacturing printed circuit boards. Proteus is a
simulation and design software tool developed by Lab center Electronics for Electrical and
Electronic circuit design. It is a software suite containing schematic, simulation as well as PCB
designing.

 ISIS is the software used to draw schematics and simulate the circuits in real time. The
simulation allows human access during run time, thus providing real time simulation.
 ARES is used for PCB designing. It has the feature of viewing output in 3D view of the
designed PCB along with components.
 The designer can also develop 2D drawings for the product.

Starting New Design in ISIS:

ISIS has wide range of components in its library. It has sources, signal generators, measurement
and analysis tools like oscilloscope, voltmeter, ammeter etc., probes for real time monitoring of
the parameters of the circuit, switches, displays, loads like motors and lamps, discrete
components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, digital and analog Integrated
circuits, semiconductor switches, relays, microcontrollers, processors, sensors etc.

Apparatus:
In proteus professional software, we selected:
 Battery
 Resistor
 LED
 Switch
 Ammeter
 Voltmeter

Procedure:

Fig 2: LED circuit with measurements

The circuit shown in Figure 2 connected in Proteus using the following steps:
Step 1: ISIS software opened and New Project selected in File menu.

Step 2: A dialogue box appeared to save the current design. However, we were creating a new
design file so we can click Yes or No depending on the content of the present file. Then a Pop-
Up appeared asking to select the template. Then according to the layout size of the circuit,
default was selected. After that, select do not create a PCB and then no firmware project.

Step 3: Then an untitled design sheet opened, then it was saved in a new folder. However, it is
not mandatory.

Step 4: For the selection of components, Click on the component mode button.

5
Step 5: Clicked On Pick from Libraries. It showed the categories of components available and
a search option to enter the part name.

Step 6: The components from categories selected or the part name in Keywords text box typed.

Step 7: The selected components appeared in the devices list. The component selected and
placed it in the design sheet by left-click. All the required components placed and the wires
were routed i.e. Connections made. Either selection mode above the component mode or
component mode allowed to connect through wires. Left click from one terminal to other to
make connection. Double right- click on the connected wire or the component to remove
6
 connection or the component respectively. Double click on the component to edit the
properties of the components and click on Ok.

Step 8: At the end, after connecting the circuit, click on the play button to run the simulation.

Observations and results:

Battery voltage (V) Resistance (Ω) LED current (A) LED voltage (V)

5V 100Ω +0.03 +1.80V

5V 200Ω +0.01 +1.75V
5V 300Ω +0.01 +1.73V
5V 700Ω +0.00 +1.71V

Discussion:
Why LED current and voltage are changing with change in resistance?
Answer: With the change in resistance there will be change in LED current and voltage, as the
resistance increases the flow current decreases as shown in ammeter and the voltage will
decrease, shown in voltmeter. According to Ohm's law, the electrical current (I) flowing in a
circuit is proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the resistance (R).
Therefore, if the voltage is increased, the current will increase provided the resistance of the
circuit does not change.
State two applications of LEDs in Textile Engineering?
Application of LEDs in textile engineering are following:

 LEDs are used in studying visual effects of different light spectra on textile colorants to
gauge the range of color differences produced in dyed fabrics.
 LEDs are now used in technical textiles such as in production of light emitting fabrics.

Conclusion:
From the above experiment, it is concluded that proteus is a very beneficial software for
designing the electrical and electronic circuits. Its an easy way of determining values i.e of
current, voltage etc. in different circuits. In this experiment current and voltage values are
calculated by making a circuit using LED light, ammeter, voltmeter, resistor etc. on proteus
software. With the change in resistance there will be change in LED current and voltage, as the
resistance increases the flow current decreases and the voltage decreases.
