A LOW POWER REMOTE DATA ACQUISITION CONTROL MODULE FOR OIL INDUSTRY

Abstract

ABSTRACT. This paper discusses the design details of an oil application based on a new low power remote data acquisition & control module. This module has the added advantages of simplicity in terms of the reduction in number of chips, unique power down mode, protection against host failure, in addition to its enhanced versatility. The designed system is completely capable of monitoring and controlling the oil level in an oil industrial site. It is also capable of communicating with a host PC situated few kilometres away for analysis of information in normal and emergency situations. It is hoped that the proposed system will lead to further development in the oil industry automation.
