Abstract :
The aim of this work is to develop an embedded system directed at automating appliances in an industry via Ethernet. The system employs server/client architecture; switching commands for the appliances which are connected to the client can be received and displayed at either end. The data containing information about the control commands are transferred between the end points of communication using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The remote host processes the commands received and translates them into actions of switching particular appliances ON or OFF. This type of control system gives the liberty for control of appliances from remote locations connected through Ethernet. A novel embedded system has been designed, implemented on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and a small-scale prototype is developed and tested.
