Abstract: This paper proposes to develop a simulation framework that can be used in the development of such digital control systems in academic environments. The Control System Plant Simulator simulates the object a digital control system designer wishes to control – referred to as a “Plant”. The Control System Plant Simulator follows the Hardware-In-The-Loop concept in that it takes the place of a physical plant. Designed and implemented controllers are attached to the Control System Plant Simulator, which will behave just as an actual plant will from the viewpoint of the controller. The simulator read input from a controller external to the host computer of the simulator. It evaluate the input in real-time, and provide output to the controller just as the actual plant will. Individuals can use the tool to prototype control systems without being forced to use expensive or limited physical resources. This allows for the education of the next generation of control system designers and implementers in a more realistic setting. The Control System Plant Simulator (CSPS) as a flexible framework for simulating plant models in control system implementation projects.

Abstract: Wireless Sensor Network is broadly used in many areas including security surveillance. In Wireless Sensor Network, sensor networks are placed randomly and also in grid depending on the methodology used to deploy the network. As sensor nodes uses energy from batteries for sensing the data and transmitting data it consumes the energy for these operations. Avoiding energy consumption in sensor nodes is hot topic in today’s era and also a challenging task, many protocols and algorithms are used to avoid energy consumption as the batteries in Wireless Sensor Network are non replaceable. In this paper we made a detailed survey on the recent issues in Wireless Sensor Networks and discussed various problems with respect to different scenarios as well as different methods. Also the paper focuses on recent approaches in avoiding energy consumption of Wireless Sensor Network and researched the different protocols and algorithms by various authors. The paper focuses future study on energy efficiency in Wireless Sensor Network stating new terms and objectives for further research.

Abstract: Prognostic and health management (PHM) technology needs plenty of historical failure data to build accurate model for failure analysis, diagnostic and prognostic. However the existing data collection equipment is not flexible enough for special vehicle because of the wired connection or lack of real-time information feedback in real vehicle experiment. A new failure data acquisition system based on wireless sensor network is proposed to acquire the sufficient historical failure data for the development of vehicle PHM technology. The proposed system architecture consists of several wireless failure data acquisition (WFDA) nodes, a gateway node, monitoring software and probability density ratio (PDR) algorithm working on a base station. Compared with other related acquisition systems, the WFDA node is small enough and suitable for working in a narrow space inside the vehicle. A double-buffer resampling strategy is specifically developed in this node to solve the contradiction of high sampling rate and low wireless bandwidth. The PDR algorithm embedded in monitoring software is used to detect abnormal data and show researchers the analysis results which can be relied to change the test item in time. Experiments results in the laboratory preliminary verified the effectiveness of system.
