Industrial internet of thing based smart process control laboratory: A case study on level control system

Abstract

This paper tells us about the smart process control laboratory in which the concept of industrial internet of things (IIOT) is implemented on laboratory-scale trainer kit. A case study of level control trainer is discussed along with implementation and results. PID control algorithm is implemented in order to control level of water in the tank. Today, IIoT is an emerging technology that brought the control and automation on the platform of IoT, i.e., the control and monitoring of sensors and actuator is done from remote location. This example is relatively for home automation where the mobile devices comes into the picture. The device challenges and requirements of the systems are discussed. The software platform chosen is NI LabVIEW through which the application data dashboard is used in mobile devices to communicate with the process computer.
