Summary:Bluetooth is a method for data communication that uses short-range
radio links to replace cables between computers and their connected
units. Industry-wide Bluetooth promises very substantial benefits for
wireless network operators, end workers, and content developers of
exciting new applications. This article delves into the implementation
and architecture of Bluetooth. It also describes the functional overview
and applications of Bluetooth, and deals with the development of a model
for recording, printing, monitoring, and controlling of eight process
variables at the same time, using a distributed control system. We
explain industrial automation via Bluetooth using IISS. Industrial
automation is one of the major applications of Bluetooth technology.
Industrial automation, in terms of controlling or monitoring a factory,
office, or industrial process, means to install machines that can do the
work instead of human workers. Industrial plants consists of many
devices interconnected in different ways ranging from simple data
collection units (I/O) to more intelligent devices such as sensors,
one-loop controllers, or programmable controllers, and a supervisory
system used as a human-machine interface (HMI) for data logging and
supervisory control. An IISS is a controlling device that monitors the
devices in a company. It basically communicates via the interface card
in the PC; the hardware is connected parallel across the device, and it
is interfaced with the PC via a transceiver. The device can be accessed
both manually via the switches and remotely via the PC. A simulation of
connecting a PC with the machines in a company was executed. Also, we
wrote a software program using C language; we will show how the remote
monitoring takes place between the control room and the PC. These
details in the article establish the growing need for Bluetooth
technology
