Abstract

In this study, a remote machine automation of a heating pump and an electro–pneumatic driller deployed at the heat center of the university campus has been realized via an Android smart device which has Wi-Fi or 3G access without wire. In order to do this aim, an electronic card has been designed; regarding to the card, C #software adapted to the card has been developed. The application card is connected to a host computer over USB protocol by a software; a smart device which has Android operating system has been communicated over USB protocol with the host computer which has the software. It is expected that the remote automation made in this work would decrease commitment of time, and service costs.

Keywords
