Development and analysis of wireless controlled batch process system using ARM

In automation industry, wired communication tends to bring ample hurdles in building a flexible and fast response system. Wireless technologies are always best solution against investment, speediness and remoteness requirements for implementing an efficient and appropriate technology or system. A prototype model of wireless controlling and monitoring of batch process system consisting ARM controller for real-time data acquisition of temperature and level of a liquid in a tank is presented. Here PC-based GUI is developed for process controlling and monitoring. Wireless communication is developed and secured via zigbee protocol. Some major Challenges and concerns regarding wireless communication and safety in industrial environment are discussed. In this paper, we have implemented a wireless system with integration of sensors and control elements providing a solution for automated monitoring, operating and control of batch process. The proposed approach can usher utilities like well structured optimal control, minuscule software code and reduced debugging requirements in application point of view.
