Development of real-time temperature monitoring system based on GPRS

Abstract

Temperature data collection and manage system plays an increasingly important role in modern agriculture and industrial fields and even daily works. The design and development of a slow changed real-time temperature detecting and monitoring system is presented in this paper. It is composed with two parts: the computer side and the sensor side. An 8 bit MCU board with its peripheral devices and temperature sensor is used to collect data continually and transmit the processed true time data to monitor program in GPRS way. A Delphi program is designed to collect temperature and monitor the fields on the spot, while the main features including dynamic temperature displaying, top limit and bottom limit threshold setting their exceeding alarming, data analyzing and storing. This study could be implemented in real-time remote temperature monitoring situations. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
