INTRODUCTION

In the Olden days, communication for virtualizing and monitoring

instruments is only by human manpower. There is no software for

communication to transmit the data from process control field to monitoring

room. Now, National instruments LABVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument

Engineering Workbench) software provides serial communication to transmit

the data from the LABVIEW software to Universal Serial Bus port. Basic serial

I/O opens one Virtual Instrument Software Architecture resource and

configures one COM port. It then performs a serial port read, a serial port write,

or both based on the options (read or write) that the user selects on the front

panel. If both are selected, the Virtual Instrument will first write data, then read

data, and finally close the Virtual Instrument Software Architecture session that

is opened to the port. If a read is performed, this Virtual Instrument I will wait

until the specified number of bytes is received at the port. Only the number of

bytes specified will be read. This feature is more useful to transmit the data into

any field instruments or any application. In our project, data that can be taken

from labview software through Universal Serial Bus COM port is send to the

cloud. This will be used to monitor the status of the field instruments. Field

instruments are connected to the labview software through Data Acquistion

card.

the method of load flow study of power bus system using LABVIEW. Here
National instruments software multisim 12.0 and LABVIEW 2011 are used
together to simulate a 4-Bus Power System. And using co-simulation of both,
parameters of buses like voltage, current, Active and reactive power and power
factor has been observed.

4.1 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
4.1.1 NODE MCU

Nodemcu is an open source for an internet platform. It

includes firmware which runs on the ESP8266 Wi-Fi SoC from Espress if
Systems, and hardware which is based on the ESP-12 module. The term
"NodeMCU" by default refers to the firmware rather than the dev kits. The
firmware uses the Lua scripting language. It is based on the e Lua project, and
built on the Espress if Non-OS SDK for ESP8266. It uses many open source
projects, such as lua-cjson, and spiffs.

As Arduino.cc began developing new MCU boards based on non-

AVR processors like the ARM/SAM MCU and used in the Arduino Due, they
needed to modify the Arduino IDE so that it would be relatively easy to change
the IDE to support alternate tool chains to allow Arduino C/C++ to be compiled
down to these new processors. They did this with the introduction of the Board
Manager and the SAM Core. A "core" is the collection of software components
required by the Board Manager and the Arduino IDE to compile an Arduino
C/C++ source file down to the target MCU's machine language. Some creative
ESP8266 enthusiasts have developed an Arduino core for the ESP8266 WiFi
SoC that is available at the GitHub ESP8266 Core webpage. This is what is
popularly called the "ESP8266 Core for the Arduino IDE" and it has become
one of the leading software development platforms for the various ESP8266
based modules and development boards, including NodeMCUs.

4.2 SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION:

4.2.1 ARDUINO SOFTWARE:

Arduino programming consists of both a physical programmable

circuit board (often referred to as a microcontroller) and a piece of software, or
IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that runs on your computer, used to
write and upload computer code to the physical board.

Arduino is an open source computer hardware and software company,

project, and user community that designs and manufactures single-board
microcontrollers and microcontroller kits for building digital devices and
interactive objects that can sense and control objects in the physical and digital
world

Data from labview is taken from USB serial port via COM4 Port.
This data is read in the arduino software by embedded code.

4.2.2 LABVIEW SOFTWARE:

National instruments Labview software is founded in the year of

1986. This software is written in C, C++, NET Programming language.
Abbreviation for Labview is Laboratory for Virtual Instrumants Engineering
Workbench. Founded by National Instruments.

Its graphical Language is named as “G”. But not to be confused as

‘G’ Code. This software is first developed only for Apple Macintosh in 1986.
But later, this software is expanded to Microsoft widows version for windows,
Unix, Linux, MacOS.

This software is more useful for many industrial application that

include as follows:

 Instrument control
 Data acquistion
 Test automation
 Analysis and signal processing

7
  Industrial Control
 Embedded system

It contains so many features that may include as follows:

 Data flow programming

 Graphical programming
 Widely accepted design pattern
 Interfacing to devices
 Code compiling
 Large libraries
 Parallel programming
 Ecosystem enlarging
 User community
 Home bundle edition.

Following figures will show the labview block diagram of the program that will
send the data to the serial COM4 port:

5.CONCLUSION

Data is transferred from labview to cloud through serial port and

arduino embedded program. Which will enhance to moniter the data from field
instruments and to see the status and condition of the process instruments.

Thus, Data is transferred from labview to cloud is successfully

implemented.
