A LabVIEW based remote monitoring and controlling of wireless sensor node for LPG gas leakage detection

There is an enormous interest in the development of gas monitoring systems for application in the gas leaks, detection of harmful gases in mines, home safety, exhausts gas monitoring, etc. A key fact in all these is the need of the flexible and practical virtual instrumentation, a way to easily expose the gas sensors to hazardous levels of gas concentrations. The detection of LPG/CNG gases has become a main issue today due to more wellbeing policy wide-reaching. This paper presents a conceptual architecture for a versatile, flexible and cost effective portable system for monitoring the LPG gas leaks in the presence of air. The software platform in terms of virtual instruments is developed using LabVIEW programming environment for internet connectivity to cover a large monitoring area. The monitoring of the sensor node is done using G-code created in LabVIEW. The system provides a very intelligent communication (notifications) and replacement of the wired connection and inturn the gas sensing system. This system can be installed in a place where LPG/CNG gas leak happens instantly. Our system for gas detection plays an imperative role of the prototype model to industry and general public as well.
