  • DCS - The Best Platform for Automation of Process Industries

    Interscience Open Access Journals

    Process industries have gone through many changes over the years. Right from the microprocessors, PLC, SCADA the automation is steeply increasing. Many process industries are not properly automated. Hence man power, hazards, investment and maintenance are also high. So in order to avoid all problems automation is very essential. Every process industry must be properly automated with DCS. Here we have come up with a proposal to automate cement mill in a cement industry using DCS with an…

    Process industries have gone through many changes over the years. Right from the microprocessors, PLC, SCADA the automation is steeply increasing. Many process industries are not properly automated. Hence man power, hazards, investment and maintenance are also high. So in order to avoid all problems automation is very essential. Every process industry must be properly automated with DCS. Here we have come up with a proposal to automate cement mill in a cement industry using DCS with an interlock.

  • Adopting DCS for effective automation of Process Industries

    International Journal of Scientific and Engineering Research (IJSER)

    DCS, an eminent tool of industries showing greater edge to optimize functionality of a continuous process, with having deep knowledge process with high continuous multi-activity can be put into a simple control for better and accurate function thus by reducing work time and cost. Simulations and Comparisons were drawn with depth study of change over in process time without process delay.

    Goal of the Project:
    ★To build a reliable forest fire detection system.
    ★Several nodes are spread accross a forest.
    ★Deployment of the nodes in a matrix-like arrangement.
    ★Each node monitors the temperature around it.
    ★The system has to last long after deployment: when it‘s idle there must be low power consumption.
    ★Nodes have sensors to quickly detect when there‘s a fire.
    ★The nodes have to transmit to the base station as quickly as possible when a fire occurs.
    ★A GUI mapping the status of the forest and the wildfire.

  • Design and Implementation of Session Initiation Protocols (SIP) using Testing and Test Control Notation version-3 (TTCN-3)

    -

    Testing and Test Control Notation version 3 (TTCN-3) is a test scripting language used in implementation and conformance testing of communicating systems and a specification of test infrastructure interfaces that glue abstract test scripts with concrete communication environments. TTCN-3 has been developed by ETSI. TTCN-3 has been used to deploy SIP systems. The task which I have been assigned to, is to build the SIP Modules (which has several important components) along with the SDP module…

    Testing and Test Control Notation version 3 (TTCN-3) is a test scripting language used in implementation and conformance testing of communicating systems and a specification of test infrastructure interfaces that glue abstract test scripts with concrete communication environments. TTCN-3 has been developed by ETSI. TTCN-3 has been used to deploy SIP systems. The task which I have been assigned to, is to build the SIP Modules (which has several important components) along with the SDP module which makes the SIP-to-SIP interactions possible. Telefonica Test Automation System (TATS, as they used to call it) has the state of the art networking elements from Life Network. They use the finalized SIP module to have SIP-to-SIP interactions among its fixed network.

  • SystemC Application

    Hardware Implementation of an Encrypted Algorithm using VHDL - Xilinx on a FPGA Hardware with different types of implementations to manage the resources well. Various concepts were used to implement an encryption algorithm. In the next two steps, the implementation will be adjusted to a specific target technology. Based on these modifications the propagation delay in the single modules can be calculated, allowing an estimation of the shortest encryption time possible. The main aspects are the…

    Hardware Implementation of an Encrypted Algorithm using VHDL - Xilinx on a FPGA Hardware with different types of implementations to manage the resources well. Various concepts were used to implement an encryption algorithm. In the next two steps, the implementation will be adjusted to a specific target technology. Based on these modifications the propagation delay in the single modules can be calculated, allowing an estimation of the shortest encryption time possible. The main aspects are the description of the circuit in VHDL as well as its simulation and implementation on hardware.

  • Bachelor Thesis - Design and Implementation of Electronic-Nose System for early detection of Cancers

    -

    Cancer is one of the most dreadful diseases which can be cured only if it identified at an early stage. The project revealed the idea of identifying the cancer in early stage using breathe analysis which is a non-invasive method. The electronic-nose system has three phases which comprises of data acquisition, data processing and classification. In the first phase the breathe samples are collected from the patients using array of sensors. In the second phase the collected samples are processed…

    Cancer is one of the most dreadful diseases which can be cured only if it identified at an early stage. The project revealed the idea of identifying the cancer in early stage using breathe analysis which is a non-invasive method. The electronic-nose system has three phases which comprises of data acquisition, data processing and classification. In the first phase the breathe samples are collected from the patients using array of sensors. In the second phase the collected samples are processed and converted into digital data using a Peripheral Interface Controller. In the third phase the acquired data are pre-processed and classified by using neural network.
