Interactive system for monitoring and control of a flow station using labVIEW

Abstract

This work delivers the design of an interactive system that allows end user to interact with an intuitive, friendly and efficient way within the process control world. Using Raspberry Pi 3 with a high-level language, a fuzzy control algorithm applied to a flow station is implemented, whose information will be sent in serial form to an interface developed in the LabVIEW software. This interface has three windows, in which you can modify the value of the setpoint, trends views and save historical data for the subsequent processing of such information. This will replace the expensive conventional display screens, with interfaces developed in computer. Besides, it is demonstrated its applicability and ease of communication with low-cost embedded boards, through experimental tests and usability surveys.
