Abstract

Traditional control system requires extensive wiring especially when the system has a lot of input and output devices. Wireless communication also has shortcoming as it operates at limited range. This condition is not favourable as it can cause low scalability and failure of high connector unless there are high quality cabling connections provided. This circumstances result in high cost in wiring and maintenance. To overcome these problems, a networked control system is designed and developed using powerline as a medium of communication. The design of this project is based on Ethernet configurations. The prototype is developed by using two Arduino Uno as the main controller interfaced with powerline adapters and a Ethernet Shield to allow powerline communication. A switch, lamp, temperature sensor, DC motor and LCD are installed into the two circuits to verify the efficiency of the project. In the end of the project, the developed prototype is successfully able to send signals from one circuit to another using powerline communication regardless of distance. Subsequently, the maintenance cost can be reduced and data can be transferred more efficiently
