Conference Location : Beijing Print ISBN: 0-8186-3930-X INSPEC Accession Number: 4991809 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/ATS.1993.398775 Date of Current Version : 06 August 2002 Abstract A fault-tolerant scheme is presented which is based on two copies of a selfchecking module and a fail-safe interface. The interface preserves the modules' safety and becomes fault-tolerant by embedding appropriate self-testing capabilities. The Fail safe scheme is more reliable than the triplicate modular redundant structure. Here as the name suggests we are designing a failsafe data logger system for hazardous as well as crucial systems. Many companies cannot afford to lose any

time due to any mechanical or technical delays. These delay may cost them a fortune. So to avoid such kind of delays we are designing such a system which is failsafe. Basically we have three system for back up: 1.wired (Online method) 3.SD card based (Offline method) Wired technique: Here we are using RS-485 based LAN technique to do communication between the data logger and the PC. The range of 485 is 0.8 km and we can connect upto 32 slaves.

SD card technique : Here we are using the SPI based 2GB SD card which used to store the data and at the end the SD card is detached from the c and attached to the PC unit where the pc will retrieve the data . So in this way the data is logged and stored if any one medium of communication fails.

Block Diagram Explanation: This system basically consist of temperature sensor, light sensor, gas sensor, sd card interface and rs485 standard interfaced with the microcontroller.

Liquid Crystal Display: LCD is used in a project to visualize the output of the application. We have used 16x2 lcd which indicates 16 columns and 2 rows. So, we can write 16 characters in each line. So, total 32 characters we can display on 16x2 lcd. LCD can also used in a project to check the output of different modules interfaced with the microcontroller. Thus lcd plays a vital role in a project to see the output and to debug the system module wise in case of system failure in order to rectify the problem.

Temperature Sensor: Temperature sensor are used to sense the temperature. We have used a Temperature sensor called LM35. This temperature sensor can sense the temperature of the atmosphere around it or the temperature of any machine to which it is connected or even can give the temperature of the human body in case if used. So, irrespective of the application to which it is used, it gives the reading of the temperature. The LM35 series are precision integrated-circuit temperature sensors, whose output voltage is linearly proportional to the Celsius (Centigrade) temperature.

Temperature sensor is an analog sensor and gives the output into form of analog signal. This signal is feed to ADC which will convert it into digital form. Once converted into analog form, the microcontroller can process the digital temperature signal as per the application. Gas Sensor: Gas sensor we are using is MQ-6. Sensitive material of MQ-6 gas sensor is SnO2, which with lower conductivity in clean air. When the target combustible gas exist, The sensors conductivity is more higher along with the gas concentration rising. Please use simple electro circuit, Convert change of conductivity to correspond output signal of gas concentration. MQ-6 gas sensor has high sensitivity to Propane, Butane and LPG, also response to Natural gas. The sensor could be used to detect different combustible gas, especially Methane, it is with low cost and suitable for different application. Gas sensor is an analog sensor and gives the output into form of analog signal. This signal is feed to ADC which will convert it into digital form. Once converted into analog form, the microcontroller can process the digital gas signal as per the application.

Pendrive Interfaced: The pendrive is the most commonly used device now a days. This device is used to store the data via usb interfaced devices like computers, laptops or other usb hub devices.

VNC1 Is a device which is used for mapping the files on the pendrive. Microcontroller give the basic DOS commands and access all the files functions like copy, paste, store , delete, cut, etc. With the help of VNC1, we can do all the basic file functions like copy, paste, store , delete, cut, etc without using the computer. We can control all these file functions using microcontroller.

Ethernet Module: Ethernet module used in our project is WIZ810MJ. WIZ810MJ is the network module that includes W5100 (TCP/IP hardwired chip, include PHY), MAG-JACK (RJ45 with XFMR) with other glue logics. It can be used as a component and no effort is required to interface W5100 and Transformer. The WIZ810MJ is an ideal option for users who want to develop their Internet enabling systems rapidly.
