Virtual Tool Used for Temperature Monitoring through I2C Protocol

Abstract

Temperature monitoring is very important both for large geographical and industrial environments, but equally for equipment or subassemblies in a technological process. Monitoring in all cases is important to prevent accidents or the occurrence of major defects. In this paper, a temperature monitoring solution is proposed for a number of up to 8 measurement points located at distances of up to 2 m by means of intelligent integrated sensors capable of transmitting information through the I2C industrial protocol. A flexible hardware structure and software development concept are presented to offer local information and to be integrated into a hierarchical temperature monitoring network.
