A Low Cost Short Range Wireless Embedded System for Multiple Parameter Control

Abstract

It is well established fact that the process atomization offers the advantages like high accuracy, power saving, manpower saving, reduction in wastage, high & efficient production volumes. In the modern industries precise monitoring, & controlling of temperatures & fluid level of various chemicals in storage tanks at various places is an essential requirement. This paper describes the development of Wireless Embedded System by using Atmel's 89C51 microcontroller for monitoring & control of process parameters from remote site .The system utilizes ASK transmitter & receiver for transmission and reception of reference values i.e., temperature and fluid levels from transmitter to receiver. Interaction with transmitter is done through matrix keypad. A TRIAC AC power controller circuit is used in the receiver which controls the flow of power to the heater. The fluid level is maintained by a water feed pump .User friendly Software is developed using 8051's Assembly language to control the transmitter and receiver units.
