Design of a new type of float flowmeter and remote monitoring system based on ARM microcontroller

Abstract

A new type of float flowmeter remote monitoring system developed in this paper has been optimised in terms of system integration, software and hardware. The system uses a cost-effective 32-bit ARM microcontroller as the control processing unit to achieve accurate measurement of liquid fluid flow. The host computer monitoring system and the client computer of flowmeter controllers use the prescribed communication protocol for data interaction. Each port number of the IP address of the host computer server can be connected to 255 devices. The system makes full use of the advantages of the Internet of Things (IoT) wireless communication technology, ARM technology and communication protocol, which realises the complete separation between the monitoring terminal of the host computer and the field device of the actual industrial site conditions. The user can remotely monitor the float flowmeter at the job site on any PC. The instrument has features of high precision, efficiency, explicit structure, better maintainability and it has broad prospect in application.
