SMART SENSOR WITH CAN BUS

Description:
Due to sudden drastic change in the climatic conditions, we are unable to monitor
the environment temperature continuously. In order to have the temperature report
continuously over three different places, we are using CAN communication to get the
value from various places.

Function:
The system explains us to do the process in full duplex communication method.
CAN communication type of bus is used for this system. This type of bus system is used
to connect n number of slaves to one master piece device.
This type of communication finds its application everywhere, one such type of
application is, it is used for environmental monitoring. We have designed and developed
such a type of system, where we have n number of slaves connected to the master
device.
The block diagram consists of following circuit components like Rain gauge,
Thermistor, Fan arrangement, Relative humidity sensor, amplifier, and bridge circuit, A/D
converter, LCD display and a microcontroller and a PC. The above said parameters are
helpful to monitor the environmental conditions.
The temperature content is sensed by using a sensor (thermistor) and it is given to
bridge circuit. The temperature variation causes the variation in the resistance value also.
This resistance variation in the bridge circuit causes the bridge to be in unbalanced
condition. The output signal is given to amplifier for further amplification. The amplified
signal is given to A/D converter and to microcontroller for display.
Air velocity is measured by providing fan arrangement .The movement of the fan
indicates the air velocity. The output signal is given to amplifier for further amplification.
The amplified signal is given to A/D converter and to microcontroller for display.
The humidity content is sensed by sensor. The output signal is given to amplifier
for further amplification. The amplified signal is given to A/D converter and to
microcontroller for display.
 Hence, all the necessary parameters are measured to yield a good result of
weather condition. This system will be very useful in meteorological department to
monitor the weather conditions continuously.

Advantages:
Full duplex communication
Monitoring both the fuel level and the speed value
Acknowledgement is provided in the system that the data has been
received by the master unit.

Application:
Heart surgery
Weather monitor department to monitor various parameters
Hospitals, industries and all commercial places
