Abstract

From many years in order to maximize the working productivity of the industrial equipment, the control and data acquisition systems have always been available for modernized industrial architecture. However, to increase the reliability of the plant/process, these systems have always tended to be expensive on small and medium scale purposes. Similarly, electric drives find many applications in industries as well as household purposes. Also, for a greater productivity of electric drives, control becomes necessary and will always benefit the end user. This paper presents a microcontrollerbased control and data acquisition system for electric DC drives that is low cost, modular, and can be installed in stages determined by budget constraints or process requirements. The presented system includes a supervisory desktop computer with specifically developed Data Acquisition software. Arduino UNO Microcontroller Development Board is used for drive speed and directional control using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique. Data transfer from desktop to controller and controller to desktop is done using the Serial Port Connectivity (SPC) of the microcontroller. Microsoft Visual Studio is used to develop the necessary GUI Software System. VB.NET is used as the backend programming language for drive control and data acquisition. The data acquired can be stored into Microsoft Excel Workbook for further analysis and the speed v/s voltage characteristics can be saved as an image file.

Keywords
