GSM-Controllable Power Switch System for Industrial Power Management

摘要

In this paper we describe the GSM Power-Controlled Outlet System (GPCOS) wit h a scalable mechanism for industrial power management. T he GPCOSintegrates the multiple AC powerpoints and a simple low-power microcontroller into a poweroutlet to switch the power of the sockets ON/OFF and tomeasure the power consumption of plugged electric industryappliances. Our GPCOS consists of four scalable modules, thatis, the Essential Control Module,the GSM Module, the Ethernet Module and t he Power Measuring Module, which together provide an outdoor remote control and monitorof electricindustrial appliances. We use a Short MessageService to achieve control and monitoring through a GSMcellular mobile phone for remote use anytime and anywhere.
