Real-time Embedded Web server for Remote Access and Industrial Mechanization Using ARM processor

Industrial automation is one of the mounting fields that forge many technologies for its growth that makes the mechanization simple and user friendly. Embedded system based design made many applications user friendly and surmounts all the disadvantages that subsist in the erstwhile design like CPU Utilization, Memory and power supply. Industrial automation engrosses data acquisition and Control System units for a meticulous application. Now days electrical power is a major problem and this interrupt the unremitting working of the industrial appliances. Hence the electrical power must be hard in some ways, so that it can be utilized for other operations. secondary memory, Ethernet controller with high performance ratio. This system overcomes the disadvantages that exist in other design and uses underlying protocols for data communication over the computer networks since the target board itself act as an embedded Web server. The main advantage of the system is lesser computational memory and larger storage memory for the real time control of the industrial appliances. Overall the system is a single stand alone multitasking system that performs various tasks like data acquisition, supervise and control. Keywords: Embedded Linux, ARM, Data acquisition (DAQ), DC motors, Digital Control, Graphical User Interface (GUI), and TCP/IP The data acquisition system was realized first to obtain the data from the working system and then manage the system based on the acquired dam. The proposed system was developed using the ARM processor that performs like a general purpose computer which collects the data and take the obligatory action depending on the data collected. The Central Processing Unit of the system is S3C2440 16/32-bit microprocessor based target board which contains all the peripherals like RAM, ROM, Assistant Professor, Department of ECE, Anna University, Regional Centre Coimbatore, India I. INTRODUCTION Real-time distributed industrial control systems are flattering one of the vital areas in embedded control applications. Web based control systems are employed for many applications like home automation, industrial automation and medical field, etc. As they can afford a GUI interface [1] to various client server applications which increases the performance and reduces the human errors occur in the monitored system. Remote access is performed by using the different communication protocols that are used either on the sides of the communicating device. Microcontroller and Microprocessor based systems have been developed for the E-mail: prakumpriniv@gmail.com Vice Principal, Professor and Head, Department of CSE, Hindusthan College of Engineering & Technology, Coimbatore, India, E-mail: sugi jeyan@hotmail.com 194 secondary memory, Ethernet controller with high performance ratio.
