Design of Remote Data Acquisition System Based on 3G

Data acquisition plays an important role in the field of modern industry control. In many cases, remote data should be transferred to monitor center which is far away from the manufacturing field. Traditional data acquisition system by means of wires could not satisfy the requirements. With the rapid development of embedded system, wireless communication technology and 3G technology, the remote data acquisition system which is based on embedded systems platforms and depend on 3G as wireless data transmit terminals, will be used widely on industry. This paper presents a new data acquisition and analyzing system based on 3G technology. In addition, this paper also expresses that the system based on 3G has many more advantages than that based on GPRS technology. ARM embedded processor and SIM308 are used as the hardware platform in this project. The result of the experiment shows that the system works well to data acquisition and wireless transferring based on 3G, and has a reference value for remote diagnosis, remote monitoring and control.
