ICS-2000

It is an indigenously made electronic-computer based product for monitoring/controlling humidity and temperature.

The system was made using 89C52 Micro-controller and software written in Microsoft Visual C++6.

The hardware is a micro-controller based system used to detect humidity and temperature in the enviroment and displays them in a LCD Display. the system can also store humidity and temperature for a week. This hardware can work stand-alone or could also be interfaced to a computer through a Serial-Communication cable.

The software can communicate with 16 such sensors simultaneously through a communication HUB designed specifically for this system.

This system also generates alarm at real-time if the humidity or temperature goes out of range and also has the facility to attach Humidifiers to control humidity.

The overall system has the features

• Easy GUI
• Capability to connect to 16 Sensors at a same time which may be upto 1 KM apart.
• Capability to configure the sensors through software
• Through both hardware and software, humidity and temperature limits can be changed so that an alarm is raised if they go out of range.
• Humidifiers can be connected to the system to control humidity
• Humidity and temperature at the software end can be viewed in normal mode or in graphical mode.
• Two types of graph support (Bar graph and line graph)
• The humidity is saved in the database after every 5 minutes.
• Status of all the sensors and their values can be seen on a remote computer through TCP/IP based communication.
• Additional option to send sms when ever humidity or temperature goes out of range.

This type of product is widely used in the textile and pharmaceutical companies.
