Abstract:
A diesel generator is a combination of a diesel engine with an electric
alternator to generate electricity. The aim of this project is to develop a
generator monitoring system using combination systems of LabVIEW
and Arduino. Other than that, the air of this paper is to integrate the
generator monitoring system with Data Dashboard application and to
indicated the smoke level sensors. The code was written in LabVIEW in
G-code which converted to C++ languages and uploaded to Arduino that
suitable for all Arduino board. The data gained are used as preventive
maintainance for the generator itself. The data are logged which help the
user to monitor the behavior of the diesel engine and user can plan next
maintainance time to avoid major breakdown.
