EMBEDDED CONDITION MONITORING OF POWER TRANSMISSION OF A PELLET MILL

In this paper, a low cost optimal micro configuration for measurement and condition monitoring of a data collection system of pellet mill power transmission is presented. The system is based on PIC (Programmable Interface Controller) microcontrollers and represents a complete solution for condition monitoring regarding vibration, temperature, and rpm measurement. The microcontroller-based system has also an integrated function with a control application based on fuzzy logic.
