MICROCONTROLLER BASED TEMPERATURE DATA LOGGER WITH SD CARD STORAGE: SD CARD TEMPERATURE DATA LOGGER
December 11th, 2009 | 
Author: 
Product Description
Temperature is basically the measurement of how hot or cold something is, and it is one of the fundamental entities in any kind of process control. Temperature is also a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a system. Adding heat to a system increases the kinetic energy of its particles and hence an increase in the temperature of the system. Temperature is easily measured using a thermometer. Nowadays, thermometers come in all shapes and sizes. In computer based automated process control applications where it may be required to control the temperature of a plant, it is necessary to interface the thermometer to the computer. This is usually done either by using analog temperature sensor devices such as thermistors, thermocouples, RTD devices etc. and then converting the outputs into digital format using A/D converters, or digital sensors, such as semiconductor sensor chips are used with direct interface to the computer. This book is about the design of a microcontroller based multichannel temperature logging device with SD card storage.

Scada: Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition
Product Description
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) technology has evolved over the past 30 years as a method of monitoring and controlling large processes. This reference book offers overviews of SCADA’s component technologies, as well as details necessary to understand the big picture. SCADA processes cover areas that may be in the thousands of square miles, and have dimensions that may be hundreds, occasionally thousands, of miles long. Now a mature technology. SCADA includes, but is not limited to, software packages that can be incorporated into a system of hardware and software to improve the safety and efficiency of the operation of these large processes. After completing these 15 self-study units, readers should be conversant with SCADA nomenclature and architecture, understand the basic technology of the system’s building blocks, understand its limitations, understand how it can benefit particular operations, and have a basis for selecting appropriate SCADA technology for their operational requirements. This fourth edition includes a unit about improving the security of SCADA systems and has been rearranged to provide a more logical presentation of the subject.
OPC Unified Architecture
Product Description
The OPC Foundation defines standards for online data exchange between automation systems. They address access to current data (OPC DA), alarms and events (OPC A&E) and historical data (OPC HDA). Those standards are successfully applied in industrial automation. The new OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) unifies the existing standards and brings them to state-of-the-art technology using service-oriented architecture (SOA). Main advantages of the new standard are: Platform-independent technology allows the deployment of OPC UA beyond current OPC applications only running on Windows-based PC systems. OPC UA can also run on embedded systems as well as Linux / UNIX based enterprise systems. The provided information can be generically modeled and therefore arbitrary information models can be provided using OPC UA. This book gives an easy to understand introduction into OPC UA and explains the concepts of the standard and other relevant topics that are not directly addressed by the standard.
