Abstract
The trend in industrial control has been to reduce the communications wiring across a plant. Eliminating the cabled connection between a sensors and a host computer enhances the performances and the manageability of a data acquisition system. Through the use of Bluetooth technology the data acquisition components can be paired with a wide variety of pre-existing devices. This makes the host computer portable, cheaper and versatile. Data is collected from the sensors by a microcontroller with an attached Bluetooth module, which transmits the data to a host computer for processing. Costs are reduced by making use of pre-existing processing power and display on the host computer. Depending on the application the data can be processed in any way required on the host computer. This paper describes the practical design of Bluetooth based 12- Channel temperatures acquisition system which contains remote temperature sensors connected to a microcontroller which controls also the Bluetooth module transmission, and a computer connected to a Bluetooth adapter. In this way, the sensors data are collected and processed by the microcontroller, transmitted via Bluetooth to a host computer which monitoring and recording the temperatures measurements.
