ABSTRACT
This paper presents a re-engineered data acquisition model for full industrial automation. Data acquisition is a most probable tool for industrial survival and has taken a lead in most automation attempts. The acquisition models in use today seem to be static in view and cannot be used adequately for emerging industrial demands. An analysis of few of these models indicates that full automation cannot be attained by their application. In this paper, an all-inclusive data acquisition approach to full automation of the industrial environment is provided through re-engineering. A mathematical analysis and modeling of the full industrial automation environment were carried out followed by a hardware platform that could implement the model in any application area. The paper also provides requirements specification for customizing the model in specific areas of application. The paper concludes by drawing a scenario for the model’s hardware platform implementation.
