DEVELOPMENT OF A DISTRIBUTED DATA COLLECTION SYSTEM BASED ON EMBEDDED ETHERNET
ABSTRACT
We describe a low cost distributed data collection system based on embedded Ethernet. Embedded Ethernet is nothing but a microcontroller, which is able to communicate with the network. Low cost microcontrollers have memory limitations, and therefore, have limited connectivity options.
Enabling a microcontroller to communicate to a data communication network would allow greater flexibility and enhance their usage in several applications that require distributed data collection, monitoring or controlling such applications.
