ABSTRACT

To monitor the amount of gas (particularly Co2) from any factory site, a design has been

developed which measures and monitors the amount and pressure of Co2 and also the

temperature of that particular location. This will be helpful if any factory or chimney releases

polluted gas like Co2 above some specified limit, which seriously affects people’s health.

When level of Co2 exceeds certain predefined level, this system will send an alarm to

operator’s mobile. For this, existing infrastructure of GSM have been used. GPS module will

be used for locating exact position of plant. In this system, controller MSP 430, gas sensor

MG811 and temperature sensor LM 335 are used as core elements. In this area until now, the

work done is remote measurement of CO2 and that data was sent by GSM.The GPS was

effectively used to locate the position. Here MODBUS is used which is serial communication

protocol which will continuously update the value on local monitoring station also. so that

required actions can be taken immediately if it is required.GUI is also developed to monitor

the recorded data at local monitoring station only. Moreover another parameter-temperature

is also measured and updated. MODBUS is now- a -days a better option over conventional

low speed wireless channels.The precision and accuracy of recorded results of measured Co2

and position from GPS have been increased. The controller used here can give response to

247 different devices, which is good for future expansion of a system at low cost.

1. INTRODUCTION

In 21st century, as the technology advances, high speed, compact and wireless systems are in

demand. Wired communication cannot meet the requirements of speed and cannot be

available everytime, everywhere.

A challenge for web services is to find reliable and efficient methods to transfer large data

between them. The development of a modular Server/Client library that uses SOAP as a

control channel while the actual data transport is accomplished by various protocol

implementations [5]

Real time remote data monitoring through GSM technology allows user to get the

informative data whose measurement unit is located somewhere else. GSM is a wireless

communication technology; most popular today for transmitting data anywhere in the world

through SMS with the help of mobile phones.

SMS is a globally accepted wireless service that enables the transmission of alphanumeric

messages between mobile subscribers and external systems.In Short message service, the

most attractive feature we can highlight is regular delivery of messages and moreover instant

acknowledgement service.

Here, the main Objective is to work for Safety of the remotely situated location,application

for security of the same, and Send SMS to a monitoring centre.In addition to this, GPS

concept will trace real time position of remotely situated RTU.

This paper consists of five parts. In first block diagram for the proposed scheme has been

explained. In second various sensors, which have been used are explored. In third,

explanation of modbus protocol has been given. Fourth,will put some light on system

software. In Fifth the results of measurements have been shown.

2. DESIGNING THE SYSTEM

2.1. System Hardware

Fig.1 Gas Plant Monitoring System Architecture

Figure 1 shows the complete architecture of the GAS plant monitoring System. This system

will continuously measure the pressure of the Carbon Dioxide and temperature of the plant

and continuously update the values on the local system using MODBUS protocol. Alarms

will be sending to the operator’s mobile using GSM technology. Position of the remote

terminal unit is identified using GPS module, which is interfaced with this monitoring

system.

2.2. Sensors

A) LM335 Temperature Sensor

The LM335 series are highly precise temperature sensors. Moreover calibration is easy.

They are calibrated in °Kelvin.they can give range from µA to mA and they are not

expensive.

Vout t=Vout To*(T/T0) Where, T=Temperature

T0=Reference temperature

Calibration of temperature : (((temp - 2138) * 410) / 4096)+27;

B) CO2 Gas Sensor

A carbon dioxide sensor or CO2 sensor is an instrument for the measurement of carbon

dioxide gas. The most common principles for CO2 sensors are infrared gas sensors (NDIR)

and chemical gas sensors. Measuring carbon dioxide is important in many industrial

processes.

CO2 (CARBON DIOXIDE) WORKING PRINCIPLE When the sensor exposed to CO2 the following electrodes reaction occurs

Cathodic reaction: 2Li + + CO2 + 1/2O2 + 2e - = Li2CO3

Anodic reaction: 2Na+ + 1/2O2 + 2e- = Na2O

Overall chemical reaction: Li2CO3 + 2Na + = Na2O + 2Li + + CO2

These sensors are compatible with most microcontrollers. They can be interfaced with 4 pin

SIP headers. When certain predefined level has been reach, they are having alarm facility.

2.5 MODBUS Protocol

MODBUS Protocol is a messaging structure developed by Modicon in 1979.it uses master

slave or client server communication between devices. In master slave technique, only master

can start the communication. Slave (other communicating devices) respond to the master

either by supplying the data or by taking the action told by the master.

There are two types of transmission modes.

• ASCII mode

• RTU mode

This mode is selected with serial communication in this specific case with baud rate but it can

be selected with parity also.Message frame and data frame are two different things. Data

frame structure depends on transmission mode. ASCII Mode messages start with a colon

character ":" (ASCII 3AH) and end with a carriage return-line feed pair of characters (CRLF,

ASCII 0DH & 0AH). The only allowable characters for all other fields are hexadecimal 0-9

& A-F [3].

3. CONCLUSION The remote GAS Plant monitoring system based on GSM and GPS has three features. Firstly, all the

data collected by the system will be directly transmitted through MODBUS protocol. Secondly, the

system can automatically send alarms to the supervision staffs by the GSM network. Third, the system

can provide the location of the remote terminal unit using GPS system. At the same time, with the

advantages of small size, real-time communication, inexpensive and easy to maintain, the system also

has tremendous superiorities when compared with the expensive monitor system used by the

environmental supervision and management departments imported from foreign country.
