Hardware and Software Integration of Mechatronic Systems for an Example Measurement Path for Temperature Sensors

Abstract

This paper presents the method of designing a mechatronic system, as a result of an integration. As an example of the integration automation components, in one coherent measuring system, a measurement path for temperature sensors is proposed. A measuring path can be defined as a scale model, which reproduces thermal states of a temperature sensors system, used in real industrial applications. The system is extended by database application based on Access. Taking advantage of an iFIX special database block the temporary values of temperature are recorded in Access database with permanent period of time. The final analysis is performed in an Excel sheet.
