TITLE OF PROJECT:

REMOTE SENSING OF PHYSICAL PARAMETERS.

OBJECTIVE:
To acquire data with time from different sensors from remote location and transmit them through Serial link and plot them on GUI in real time. Controlling and monitoring of physical parameters will also be done.

DELIVERABLES:
A GUI based system with real time data acquisition from different sensors in some remote locations.

SCOPE:
Number of sensors: Minimum 4 Sampling rate: 100 Hz Resolution: 12-bit Distance between sensor and monitoring station: 500 meter on wire and 100 meter on RF. Software: appropriate software will be used Hardware: appropriate hardware will be used

PHYSICAL PARAMETERS TO BE CONTROLLED:

Temperature Pressure Flow rate Level detector

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:
Different sensors will be placed in a plant for measuring physical parameters like temperature, pressure, level detector and flow rate. Signal conditioning circuit will be used with the sensors . Since the output of these sensors is in analog form, A/D converter will be used after all these sensors to convert their output in digital form. The digital output of all these sensors will go in the input pins of microcontroller. The microcontroller will be programmed according to the functionality of the project which includes measuring , control and transmission in real time of all the physical parameters. The output of microcontroller will go in computer from where all the changes in the values of temperature, pressure, level and flow rate can be observed. Zigbee will be used for transmission and receiving of data. All the parameters will be displayed on a GUI which will be made on labview. The parameters can also be controlled from there. For controlling the physical parameters the output will go from computer into the microcontroller after which the actuator will be connected which will turn on the hardware.
