which micrcontroller should i use

I am going to design auto mains failure switching for a diesel generator set for our college along with some dg set protection parameters like
1)overspeeding
2)overvoltage& undervoltage
3)knowing temprature of the coolant
4)pressure of the oil
5)remote status indication of dg set may be using gsm
i have worked enough with 8051
So which microcntroller should i choose?
please tell me with respect to circuit interfacing reduction to the controller

Hi,

Is is it an automotive application? then a microcontroler with CAN interface may be useful.

All your tasks are easy and about every microcontroller can handle it.

Collect all information of data inputs, sensors and their interfaces.
Then draw a raw schematic.

hello,

if you have some knowledge with 8051
you can keep it or choose more rescent MCU like

The DS80C320 as a Drop-In Replacement for the 8051/8032 Microcontroller

Click to expand...

it is recommended only if you will have to program is ASM langage.



If you will use C langage ,
you have many choice .. AMTEL,ARM,PIC ...famiilys
most of them can handle anolg input .. if 10 bits is enough
(any MCU are in 12 bits) or external ADC with SPI or I2C bus
external interface like GSM can use Hardware UART ..

MCU is for hardware
You have to consider the software and associated tools :
IDE user interface ,C compiler and other like ICSP programmator , debugger ...


too much possibilities !

it is YOUR DECISION .

Did you get some advise from your college's tutor ?

Before starting your project,
you must write a detailed specification sheet to describe it and all functions
What sensor do you have ...
what scale of measurment...
Timing ...
User interface ...
etc ...

As it is for college project better proceed with PIC or ARM

STM8, A-series
