Description
Summary:In the oil and gas industry, wired sensor network is the traditional and commonly used. Nowadays, there is a new trend in network communication which is the wireless sensor network. Hence, the wireless technology is now growing fast and keeps improving with time. The objectives of this project are to find an economical wireless solution for the wireless sensor network, design, build and test a short-range sensor wireless interface module. A lot of study and research in communications and instrumentation has to be made in order to design the system. The designed system consists of a RTD transmitter, A/D converters, signal interface, a WiFi Access Point and a WiFi enabled PC. Based on the surveys conducted in this project, the WiFi technology is suitable for this project because of its maximum transfer speed, maximum distance and maximum devices that it can connect at one time. This system also can reduce maintenance cost and save time.
