Bluetooth based industrial data acquisition system

Abstract:
This project deals with the design and development of hardware and software for
industrial data logger system. Data acquisition is the process of sampling signals that measure
real world physical conditions and converting the resulting samples into digital numeric values
that can be manipulated by a computer. Data acquisition systems typically convert analog
waveforms into digital values for processing.

The main aim of this project is to monitor the parameters of industry like voltage, current,
temperature and display these values on PC using Bluetooth module.

These Bluetooth modules are more reliable, secure and low power modules and these modules
do not require line of sight also. We can use mobile Bluetooth by developing some applications
or we can use normal USB blue tooth dongles by connecting to PC.

Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using
short-wavelength radio transmissions in the ISM band from 2400–2480 MHz) from fixed and
mobile devices, creating personal area networks (PANs) with high levels of security. Created by
telecom vendor Ericsson in 1994, it was originally conceived as a wireless alternative to RS-
232 data cables. It can connect several devices, overcoming problems of synchronization.

Bluetooth uses a radio technology called frequency-hopping spread spectrum, which chops up


the data being sent and transmits chunks of it on up to 79 bands (1 MHz each; centered from
2402 to 2480 MHz) in the range 2,400–2,483.5 MHz (allowing for guard bands). This range is
in the globally unlicensed Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) 2.4 GHz short-range radio
frequency band. It usually performs 800 hops per second, with Adaptive Frequency-
Hopping (AFH) enabled.

At industry side we have Ethernet module, micro controller, temperature sensor, voltage and
current sensing circuit. This micro controller will keep updating these parameters data on PC
using Bluetooth. At Pc side we will use USB Bluetooth
