Air heat plant control based on IoT with cloud based technologies

Abstract

In particular, the Internet of Things (IoT) is widely used to interconnect available industries resources and provide reliable, effective and smart monitoring and control features in process industries. The aim of this paper is to summarize the application of IoT in an Air Heat Plant (AHP), monitoring and change set point and controller parameters from remote places using cloud services. In this paper, a simple AHP experimental setup is developed and temperature inside the AHP is controlled using PID controller. Using IoT and web based service Temboo, AHP data are stored in a google spreadsheet and can be monitored and analyzed from any part of the world at any time. Set point and PID controller parameters of the AHP can be modified from any part of the world at any time using self- developed web based application.
