In this study, remote control of an ultrasonic motor has been implemented by using a standard GSM mobile phone. To drive the ultrasonic motor a digitally controlled drive system has been designed. Then a tone decoder circuit and microcontroller have been added between output of a mobile phone and the drive system of the motor. This system is flexible to be controlled with both GSM and DTMF based phones. With the developed drive and control system the overall control of the ultrasonic motor has been achieved. The system has been tested for different speed, position and direction conditions successfully. The experimental results verify that the GSM controlled drive system is highly effective, reliable, proper and applicable to achieve remote control of the ultrasonic motor. This study gets novel and important point of view for GSM based remote control applications addition to the control of ultrasonic motors. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
