Design & implementation of ARM based data acquisition system

Abstract

The Rapid development of technologies in the field of electronics has brought tremendous changes in every walk of human life without being limited to any particular field. Starting with many transistors and other electronic components to embedding of large number of transistors along with in numerable other electronic components in a single chip, that too in a compact single chip, with the properties of diverse/ different functions. And these developments in electronics have also entered the ever growing field of industrial processes, viz., optimization of production, safety related aspects etc. The Design & Implementation of ARM Based Data Acquisition System presented here is an intelligent remote unit based on embedded technology for data acquisition, monitoring and output control. This system is very much compact in design, as it uses a highly integrated 32-bit RISC microcontroller along with serial A/D and D/A converters. This Device has high performance and offers the widest range of features viz., flexibility, reliability, durability, when compared with conventional and old solutions to control and data acquisition. The capabilities of input and output are expandable to maximize the functions of the system and also can be used for different applications in real time environment to control and data acquisition. Besides being a single stand-alone system, the tasks like the control, supervision, data acquisition can even be accomplished through Ethernet within the local area network (LAN) of an industrial area.
