Starting on a new project.

A Temperature Monitoring System, on a mobile machine (a civil engineering machine in this case), with a LED Matrix display for the operators, and hand held control device for the owner / supervisor.

The system will be developed in phases…

• Phase 1 monitor 5 Temperature Points (PT100 sensors) and display colour bars and top temperature
• Phase 2 addition of a hand held monitoring / setup device for the machine supervisor / owner
• Phase 3 data logging (download through handheld device or by PC connection)
• Phase 4 addition of flow and pressure sensors
• Phase 5 valve control and process control decreasing the operator load

To shorten the development cycle we will be buying in RS485 modbus modules for the IO.

The Controller (Modbus Master with 3 RS485 ports, Ethernet with internal switch, CAN port) and the display controller are being developed in house.

We will put up some more information as the parts come in and the system develops.
