Measurement Data Acquisition & Automation in Research

Researchers often work on experimental setups that are highly specialized and usually designed and
manufactured for a single or a few test series. The challenges for automation technology and measurement
data acquisition in the apparatus are as unique as these experimental setups.
In the following, Bochum University of Applied Sciences presents its approach to implementing different
measurement and automation tasks in a flexible but also standardized way. Existing microcontrollers
such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino or Controllino are used as the basis for the greatest possible
flexibility.
It is often not necessary to record high-precision measurement data. In this cases inexpensive development
boards can be used that already include peripherals for direct connection to Arduinos or
Raspberry Pi’s. Such development boards are often offered at very low cost and with short delivery
times for many different measurement tasks.
In this paper, the implementation of the requirements is discussed using a current project that deals
with thermal energy recovery using 'smart materials' (shape memory alloys) as an example.
