AIM:
To develop a hybrid control system using CAN and GSM/ GPRS technique to control a heat transfer station in a remote location.
DESCRIPTION:
A heat transfer station is a place where a particular amount of heat is transferred from one medium to another without any loss in it. Normally these stations are located in a place where peoples won’t roam frequently, because this station will be handling a high volume of heat energy which is very dangerous and it will burn the whole plant if there is any leak. A technical group of peoples will be controlling these processes. Even though they are there due to some manual mistakes, heavy damages will occur. To avoid such cases, a hybrid control system is designed. In this project this hybrid control system is designed by using controllers. Temperature sensors are placed in both the mediums, this sensor output is measured by a controller and it will send the value to the master controller of that plant. This master controller will have a GSM/ GPRS modem which will transmit to the remote plant which will be the main control unit for all the stations. Thus the main control unit will receive the captured data in mobile or PC based on the wireless technology used. By analyzing it, a control information will be sent back to the remote station in order to control the huge machines in the station. Because of this project the heat station will be directly monitored by the main control unit and it can be controlled at any time based on the application they required.
