Design and Development of ARM7 Based Real-Time Industry Automation System using Sensors & GSM

Automation is the current need of industries. There are number of technologies that are growing to achieve the good automation in the plant. One of the recently popular technologies is the automation using sensors and actuators. Here in this paper development of ARM7 and uC/OS-II RTOS based real-time industry automation system using GSM communication is presented. The proposed system is having centralized controller, sensors and relays. Centralized module is the main unit that collects the information from plant sensors and gives this information to the end user using GSM communication. Also whenever needed it control the production automatically by switching the relays and actuators. The ARM7 LPC2148 is used as monitoring and controlling unit for different parameters. Some time more than processes need to be monitor and control in real-time. To control the process in real-time uC/OS-II Real- Time Operating System and needful files are dumped in to ARM controller. ARM7 LPC2148 controller is programmed using Embedded C language. Results obtained show the usefulness and effectiveness of the system as planned.
