| Abstract |
This paper describes the development of a web-based boiler controller which can be in parallel operated with an existing boiler controller. The web-based boiler controller mainly consists of RTL8019AS NIC and TS80C32 microcontroller. In order to communicate over the Internet, we need to develop network driver, IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, and HTTP. For a specific application like web-boiler controller, we have proposed a common global data buffer algorithm to minimize the RAM memory usage. Finally, the correctness and performance of the protocols are tested and verified using CommView and Dummynet. The development is satisfactorily operated only for few hundreds of bytes of RAM usage without sacrificing interoperability between hosts. |
