ABSTRACT
Industrial monitoring using GSM modem main idea is to provide solutions for industries to remotely monitor parameters using GSM network. This application will decrease cost factor for company.

 Critical sensor monitoring is very important in several industries such as nuclear power plants ,petroleum and gas plants. In this project a GSM server is implemented with ARM based LPC2148 microcontroller, sensors and relays. The project code is written using embedded C ,the KEIL4 compiler is used to generate hex file ,Flash utility software is used to dump the hex file to microcontroller.

OBJECTIVE
In this project the microcontroller is interfaced with different sensors like temperature, gas sensor etc at one side and the GSM modem on the other side. Continuously the microcontroller keeps checking the sensors and controls the relays and other control system. When the temperature and gas reading reach the critical value the authorized person gets the message using GSM modem.

METHODOLOGY
The project code is written in Embedded C language. Then the project code is dumped in our kit and then executed for the result. This work involves study of AT commands to work on GSM modem, and the hardware design for LPC2148 microcontroller and sensor units.

 In this project we interface LM35 temperature sensors ,which has an advantage over linear temperature sensors calibrated in Kelvin ,here we obtain convenient Centi-grade scaling. For gas sensor we interfaced MQ5 Gas sensor. The LPC2148 kit consists of LCD screen ,it consists of two lines with 16 characters each. LCD screen displays the present temperature and gas sensor values on it.

RESULT

When the threshold temperature or pressure is reached we get a message to the prescribed number which we have given in our code.

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE

The overall system architecture was designed using embedded C language. Synthesis and implementation was done by using the ARM7 modules. We found that when gas leakage or temperature exceeded the threshold value the sensors detect and send a SMS to the monitor.

The paper presents a development of the multi sensor embedded system for measuring up to eight sensor parameters optimized by appropriate algorithms in future. The developed system has most of the features of smart sensing and communicating to other pc through a wireless interface.
