The reported system interfaces a commercially available portable infrared gas analyzer with a measurement and control module for continuous and automated measurements of whole-canopy gas exchange. Readings were taken for several days, under mostly sunny or partly cloudy conditions, on two potted vines (total leaf area per vine of ≈1.3 m2) enclosed in inflated polyethylene chambers. The air flow rate through the chambers was provided by a centrifugal blower and set at 5 L·s-1 by a butterfly valve. It prevented ΔCO2 from dropping below –40 mL·L-1. Switching of the two CO2 analysis channels to the infrared gas analyzer (operated in a differential mode) was achieved by solenoid valves, whereas wet and dry-bulb temperatures at chambers' inlet and outlet were measured by low-cost, custom-made thermocouple psychrometers. Whole-vine assimilation rate (WVA) and whole-vine transpiration rate were calculated from the inlet—outlet differences in CO2 and absolute humidity. When compared to assimilation measured on single leaves (SLA) under saturating light at equivalent times, the WVA reduction (area basis) was ≈50%, suggesting that whole-canopy photosynthetic efficiency based on SLA readings can be greatly overestimated.

A scheme for measurement and control system on grain situation is presented in this paper. This system is mainly composed of sensor network, measurement and control extension, communication host and host computer. Measurement and control extension centres on microcontroller C8051 to accomplish the measurement of grain temperature and humidity in granary. Instruction is transferred to measurement and control extension by communication host, at the same time, transferring the data measured by extension to host computer. Host computer achieves the regimentation of whole system by applying PC. Compared with traditional ones, this measurement system is much more simple, low-cost, efficient and responsive, with profoundly immediate significance and wide prospect.

The last decade has seen many new measurement and control techniques developed. This has been principally due to the development of low cost electronic circuits and, more recently, the microprocessor. As a result of this rapid development the instrument and process control engineer is faced with the arduous task of interfacing new and old equipment with differing transmission and communication requirements. The situation is further complicated by the numerous transmission and communication techniques that are available and the usual dogma of finding differing communication interfaces at either end of the connecting cable. This paper provides an insight to the array of transmission and communication techniques currently in use and looks at new techniques which are being developed. The application of the transmission and communication techniques to process control systems is a subject which is now under careful scrutiny as the establishment of an effective transmission and communication configuration can result in an appreciable cost advantage and increased transmission efficiency. A number of these configurations (networks) are discussed.

In the present IT age, we are in need of fully automated industrial system. To design of Data Acquisition System (DAS) and its control is a challenging part of any measurement, automation and control system applications. Advancement in technology is very well reflected and supported by changes in measurement and control instrumentation. To move to highspeed serial from Parallel bus architectures has become prevalent and among these Ethernet is the most preferred switched Serial bus, which is forward-looking and backwardcompatible. Great stride have been made in promoting Ethernet use for industrial networks and factory automation. The Web based distributed measurement and control is slowly replacing parallel architectures due to its non-crate architecture which reduces complexities of cooling, maintenance etc. for slow speed field processing. A new kind of expandable, distributed large I/O data acquisition system based on low cost microcontroller based electronic web server[1] boards has been investigated and developed in this paper, whose hardware boards use 8-bit RISC processor with Ethernet controller, and software platform use AVR-GCC for firmware and Python for OS independent man machine interface. This system can measure all kinds of electrical and thermal parameters such as voltage, current, thermocouple, RTD, and so on. The measured data can be displayed on web pages at different geographical locations, and at the same time can be transmitted through RJ-45 Ethernet network to remote DAS or DCS monitoring system by using HTTP protocol. A central embedded single board computer (SBC) can act as a central CPU to communicate between web servers automatically.

The unique control problems associated with vehicular gas turbine engines are forcing the requirement for more direct measurement and control of vehicular gas turbine operating parameters. Two of the most important parameters are gas generator turbine inlet temperature and engine flameout. The major problem controlling these parameters has always been the lack of low cost sensors with sufficient accuracy and response for closed loop control along with the life required for economical operation. Two sensors have been developed which have the necessary response and accuracy for application to vehicular gas turbine controls. These sensors are also rugged and reliable and will provide the required long life. A fluidic temperature sensor measures turbine inlet temperature and an ultraviolet radiation sensor detects the presence of flame. Both sensors have electronic outputs and are readily adaptable to present electronic control systems. The principle of operation, accuracy and response data, along with application and installation information is presented for both sensors.

Water and fertilizer are two important factors in seedlings growth and development, the reasonable management of water and fertilizer can play a greater growth potential for seedling, and blind management of water and Fertilizer not only is harmful for seedling growth, but also will lead to the water resource waste and environmental pollution. In order to precisely determine the seedlings fertilizer demand, this paper presents a method seedlings fertilizer and water measurement and control system based on wireless sensor network, the system can realize automatic deployment of information acquisition node, data self-organization transfer, namely, wireless communication, and can accurately detect information of soil water and fertilizer and identify water and Fertilizer on the best demand of seedlings growth stages for different seedlings, different regions, different period of climate and seedling growth status, so the best water and fertilizer control is achieved in seedling cultivation. This system were introduced and analyzed from the hardware structure, software structure and so on in this paper, and it has the advantages of low power consumption, low cost, good robustness, flexibility and so on. The experiment results shown that the system is practical and efficient, which can be applied in farmland, and nursery area.
