Automatic Gas Valve Control System using Arduino Hardware

Control Practices Using Simulink with Arduino As Low Cost Hardware

This work describes a Simulink lab practice using Arduino as low cost hardware. A Shell must be developed in order to adapt Arduino signals to the real plant, consist of a DC motor. With Arduino architecture and with open hardware a cheap Data Acquisition card has been build. Several tests have been done to validate de full system and a frequency study has been completed in order to know the po...

Experimental values for adjusting an automatic control valve in gas pipeline transportation

When a natural gas pipeline ruptures, the adjacent automatic line control valves (ALCVs) should close quickly to prevent leakage or explosion. The differential pressure set point (DPS) at each valve location is the main criteria for value setting in ALCV action. If the DPS is not properly adjusted, the ALCV may mistakenly close or it may not take any action at proper time. This study focused on...

Biogas Control: Methane Production Monitoring Using Arduino

Extracting energy from biomass is an important alternative to produce different types of energy (heat, electricity, or both) assuring low pollution and better efficiency. It is a new yet reliable approach to reduce green gas emission by extracting methane from industry effluents and use it to power machinery. We focused in our project on using paper and mill effluents, treated in a UASB reactor...

Efficient Mechanisms using ARDUINO to Control Robots

Microcontrollers are used in automatically and autonomously controlled products and devices, such as automobile engine control systems, implantable medical devices, remote controls, office machines, appliances, power tools, toys and other embedded systems. By reducing the size and cost compared to a design that uses a separate microprocessor, memory, and input/output devices, microcontrollers m...
