A Real-Time Control Operating System for Industrial Automation
The system can be implemented in the Plant Monitoring System. It
consists of a Coordinator and the sensor nodes. The coordinator is
a centralized unit which is attached to the monitoring PC through
TCP/IP network. It collects the information from all other nodes on
demand and provides to the end user through TCP/IP network. The
sensor nodes are made intelligent for controlling the plant. These
nodes are attached with the Zigbee for remote controlling in case
of changing the preset values and handling any issues. The
experimental results obtained demonstrate the usefulness of the
proposed system in terms of the low power consumption, low cost,
targeted towards automation and remote control applications.The
coordinator is implemented using the ARM9 controller and the Sensor
Nodes are implemented using the ARM7 microcontroller. RT-Linux is
used at the coordinator for real time operations and the Sensor
nodes are programmed using the Embedded C.
