Utilização da Plataforma Arduino para aquisição de dados.

Abstract

The industrial environment is constantly changing, with new requirements that arise whereas new technologies are incorporated. However, not always the most viable answer to this problem is the replacement of machinery, or even a long, complex and expensive application customization by the manufacturers. Often, the equipment installed in a plant allows the expansion of its functionality and the incorporation of new technologies in a practical and inexpensive procedure. In this context, systems such as Arduino can be inserted as an alternative data acquisition device. Thus, aiming to improve, to expand the study agenda and evaluate Arduino as a platform to implement data acquisition systems, we developed a prototype that is suitable to a scenario with industrial characteristics.
