Abstract

Accident occurrence in the industrial zone has been a common occurrence due to lack of proper maintenance and causes damage to properties and had been a threat to human life. The rapid development in the field of industrial process control and the fast popularization of embedded ARM processor are used. It has been a trend that ARM processor can substitute the single-chip to realize data acquisition and control. A new kind of remote I/O data acquisition system based on embedded ARM platform has been researched and developed. The project aims at designing an industrial monitoring system using embedded microcontroller which can monitor the environmental parameters like temperature, gas and voltage and the output is given to the application software which is a high end graphical user interface display unit Visual Studio. Nowadays embedded solutions based on platform ARM are finding their place on the market. This paper describes usage of the IGEPv2 DM3730 device with software for the collecting and processing of physical data. The operating system chosen was the Windows distribution of GNU/Linux operating system, which was adapted for use with the ARM platform. Data source for the proposed measurement system is represented by a sensor network connected to the device through the I2C interface. The data is stored in local databases on the memory card of the device. This paper includes the comparison of the database systems for the proposed application. Connectivity of the device is ensured through wired or wireless connection to a computer network. Application logic of the whole measuring system is installed directly on the development board. For users, the application is accessible through a web browser.
