Summary: | The World Wide Web has provided a strong medium for networked computing with
independent platform. As the Internet continues to grow, there will be a practical as well
as economical sense to connect number of devices to the Internet. Hence, embedded web
servers are needed to access, monitor, and control these devices. This work investigates
the issues involved in developing an embedded web server which monitors and controls a
number of devices through its re-configurable I/O ports. This thesis also provides detail
discussion on the software and hardware aspects of an embedded web server. Site Player
embedded server module is used as a base unit in this research. With the PC interface,
embedded server module is configured with appropriate I/O control codes as well as user
interface. The example application used with the embedded server module is a servodrive
robot arm which has four servo motors to control the movements of its base, arm,
wrist, and grip. Further integration and greater capability of web-enable devices which
are being used in factory automation and home appliances control are discussed as future
works of this research. |
