Remote Condition Monitoring of Real-Time Light Intensity and Temperature data

This paper aims in developing a simple real-time remote data acquisition system for condition monitoring of the process or system. A low cost data acquisition card is used for physical parameters monitoring and transmitting the acquired information to the remote operator. The dark environment condition is sensed for the light intensity value lower than 120 Lux and at this condition an external light source circuit to turn on or off. PWM based speed control of fan is done based on the temperature data acquired. The main objective of this work is to create a continuous information obtaining framework and to continuously share this information with the android tab and over the internet from the virtual environment of LabVIEW. The acquired data values are also continuously logged and stored in MS Excel database file at the hard disk of host computer for further analysis.
