Multichannel FPGA-Based System for Data Acquisition and Monitoring with Network Control

Abstract

Traditional data collection systems based on microcontrollers have a hard time swiftly data acquiring and storing massive volumes of data. With their high clock rates, short delays, quick speeds, and abundance of RAM, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) make sophisticated peripheral circuit control straightforward. This paper presents a method for remotely monitoring server rooms using FPGAs and multimedia. A/D converter modules, environmental sensors, electrical energy, carbon monoxide, smoke, and an FPGA serve as the main controllers in the proposed system, which tracks server room locations. The FPGA also uses the serial interface to send data from all of the sensors to the LCD screen. When there are changes in the environment, alarms go off. Using butterfly operations and the rapid Fourier transform method; the system determines AC voltage and current and uses temperature changes to identify server room equipment issues. Functionality, usability, and reliability testing is conducted on the system. The fact that all performance measurements meet the basic design criteria demonstrates that FPGA technology may be used for monitoring. The superior processing speed and performance of FPGAs are shown when compared to conventional microcontroller systems.
