Design of Monitoring System Used in Sink-Float Safety Device for Marine Engineering Equipment

Abstract

A monitoring system used in marine sink-float safety device is introduced. The ARM Cortex-M3 is the core of microcontroller in this system, and the hardware and software architectures of the monitoring system are designed. The designed monitoring system can multi-point monitor marine environment around sink-float safety device, by doing this, the safety device can take marine equipment to escape from harsh marine environment by submerging a certain depth. So we can make sure marine equipment safe and normal. The experimental results show that the sink-float safety device can work normally in the harsh marine environment with the monitoring system. The acquisition of multi-point environment monitor as well as data management is achieved effectively. The reliability and safety of equipment are guaranteed by the sink-float safety device.
