Abstract: Design of on-line embedded web server is a challenging part of many embedded and real time data
acquisition and control system applications. The World Wide Web is a global system of interconnected computer
networks that use the standard Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to serve billion of users worldwide and allows the
user to interface many real time embedded applications like data acquisition, Industrial automations and safety
measures etc,. This paper approached towards the design and development of on-line Interactive Data Acquisition and
Control System (IDACS) using ARM based embedded web server. It can be a network, intelligent and digital
distributed control system. Single chip IDACS method improves the processing capability of a system and overcomes
the problem of poor real time and reliability. This system uses ARM9 Processor portability with Real Time Linux
operating system (RTLinux RTOS) it makes the system more real time and handling various processes based on multi-
tasking and reliable scheduling mechanisms. Web server application is ported into an ARM processor using embedded
‘C’ language. Web pages are written by Hyper text markup language (HTML); it is beneficial for real time IDACS,
Mission critical applications, ATM networks and more. Mission critical applications, ATM networks and more.
Key words: Embedded ARM9 Processor, Real Time Linux Operating system (RTLinux RTOS), Embedded web server,

I. INTRODUCTION
Online Interactive Data Acquisition and Control system plays the major role in the rapid development of the fast
popularization and control in the field of measurement and control systems. It has been designed with the help of many
electrical, electronic and high voltage equipment i.e. electrical parameters of current, voltage, power, frequency, analog,
circuit breaker status, digital signal protective actions, the amount of electrical pulses degree, non-electrical Parameters of
temperature, pressure and other thermal signal, water level , signal pulse, ECG, speed and high voltage signal flow and
other hydraulic signals the usual practice is to design special data acquisition systems.
It makes the system more complicated and not reliable. This system Develop a new system that contains inbuilt Data
Acquisition and Control system (DACS) with on-line interaction. It makes the system more reliable and avoids more
complication. It is the great demand in consumer applications and many industries. This system replaces various complex
cables which are used for acquisition and it uses FPGA and ARM processor for data acquisition and digital diagnosis.
There are various digital DAC systems are available for the substitution of multisite job operation. A single worker can
interact with the machine and collect
Various data from on-going work in a single work station. The simplest design of data acquisition system is detailed in
[2], which is based on Linux Operating system [3]; it is the popular choice for many embedded real time applications and
PC systems. The design of flexible and networked data acquisition architecture was approached in [4], where the software
resources are stored in local memory to avoid the level of resource usage and increases system’s efficiency. This system
process the client based on dynamic manner by server response and it maintains separate data base with DAC controller.
In [5] advanced traffic survey mechanism uses data collection process for post processing of vehicle’s position. Signal
conditioning is the major part of any data acquisition unit. High level integration architecture was discussed in [6]; it
allows signals to be conditioned, simultaneously acquired according to the external clock and triggers processed and
transferred data to real time servers. Signal measurement from astrophysical sources is described in [7]; where the shared
memory and internet protocols are used for data handling and process from remote users. It was developed with Global
Positioning System (GPS) and Environmental monitoring system. Similarly depends on industry and its location General
Packet Radio Service (GPRS) also used for data transmission through on-line. But this paper doesn’t use GPRS and GPS
systems for data uploading into internet. It reduces the system complexity and effective for all kind of real time
applications. Every real time embedded system should be run by real time operating systems. Even a small 8-bit
microcontroller has the portability with RTOS is developed in [8].
II. BASIC SYSTEM STRUCTURE
Its structure configured in five sections such as supply system, communication system, control system, sensor system,
web system. Fig.1 shows the overview of IDAC system. Every client can access the industry directly without any
interaction with additional server and modules. IDACS shows Intelligent Data Acquisition and Control System. This
system contains single ARM9 processor which is portable with Real Time Linux RTOS.

ARM processor is the heart of this work. It handles two modes at same time, DAC and Web server. During DAC mode
Processor can measure signals which are coming from various external sources and applications. And it can control the
industry machineries by the control instruction sent by client via embedded web server. During signal measurements
Analog to digital converter is very important, because almost every external source is giving analog signal only. While
converting these analog to digital processor has to handle asynchronous interrupts. This system uses RT Linux so it can
handle many interrupts in an efficient manner because RT Linux has pre-emptive kernel with required privilege levels.
Similarly during web server mode processor will handle client request and response to the particular client by sending
web pages, client can interact the industry by giving instruction in web page on its own web browser. This setup can be
suitable for intercommunication with other nodes via Ethernet and higher end ports. Ethernet programming and execution
is very easy and adaptable with various applications. Embedded web pages are designed by HTML language.
