WIRELESS TEMPERATURE CONTROL OF SERVER ROOM

Abstract

Remote applications are widely used in various fields such as industry, education and security. The aim of the proposed setup in the paper is to control and monitor the temperature of server room using LabVIEW software and GSM Module. The temperature of server room has to maintain in a defined range, otherwise, the servers and equipments situated in a server room may came into disaster due to rise in the temperature. In order to measure and control the temperature, we use analog temperature sensor LM35. A Data Acquisition Card (DAQ) is used to perform temperature measurement and control task. The temperature task is created within a range of temperature in LabVIEW. For it, the logic containing the program for monitoring and controlling the temperature in a server room is created. When temperature varies despite of the set range, then LabVIEW program is responsible to give the command to the GSM module, which sends SMS to to operator and generates the immediate necessary action by switching the Fan. It indicates that temperature has varied despite of set limit and corrective action has initiated. The Setup and Program developed to serve the purpose. Here Lab VIEW is a graphical user interface to the user and GSM is used for outside world interaction for information transfer.
