What is an Annunciating System?

Why This Project ?


Problem with the currently used

Annunciating Systems:
Use of LEDs and Translucent Film
No Data Logging or Remote Data Acquisition

Facility
Lack of Analog Inputs
High Cost of Imported Annunciating System

Use of LEDs and Translucent Film as Alarm


Labels makes these systems NonReconfigurable

No Data Logging or Remote


Data Acquisition Facility

Lack of Analog Inputs

High Cost of Imported

What is SBC ?
SBC

is an acronym for a Single Board


Computer. It is basically a small CPU to which
peripherals like keyboard , mouse are
connected.

Some

SBCs which we are researching


currently include Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone
Black and Arduino Mega ADK.

What is MODBUS?
MODBUS is a communication protocol

developed by AEG-MODICON. It is a defacto standered protocol for SCADA


Its transactions happen in master-slave
format.

Why MODBUS ?
Developed with industrial applications in mind.
Free to use protocol.
Easy to use and understand.
Upto 240 parallel devices can be connected.
Simple yet effective CRC is used for error

detection.

What is RS485
RS485 is a serial communication interface

that uses differential data transmission over


one or two pairs of wires.

Why RS485?
Compared to RS232 these are its

Advantages:It can be used for long hall communications.


In place of three wire communication, RS485

uses only two wires.


Speed of data transmission is High.
