Diseño y construcción de un data logger universal con capacidad de comunicación remota

Abstract

The project’s goal is to design and assembly a data acquisition system known as Data Logger. On the industrial or instrumentation field, the information collected by this equipment is used to analyze, control, and enhance the efficiency and productivity of a process. A great deal of knowledge, criteria and design consideration given in class are involved in this kind of equipment, for this reason the prototype will be used mostly as a learning tool for the National Polytechnic School students. The prototype will be host at the Instrumentation Laboratory facilities of the Electric and Electronic Engineering faculty. Some general characteristics of the data logger prototype are: capability to receive different types of standard signals send from current or voltage transmitters, the prototype is equipped with a GLCD touch screen which is used as an embedded interface however a HMI software could be also used through a PC, capability to receive information sent from wireless sensors using Bluetooth technology and XBee modules, remote communication with a PC using either Ethernet connection or through GSM modules, be capable to store information in a microSD card.
