I. INTRODUCTION
Temperature is a common parameter to be controlled and
closely related with our daily lives, industrial production and
space applications. Temperature is an important component
of modern detection technique. Temperature monitoring
system has two kinds of shortcoming in current life. One is
that it needs a lot of wires to transfer the sensor signal to
data acquisition card and the implementation of linking
signal wires is very troubling. Also, the cost is high. The
other shortcoming is that the signal transferred in wire is
analog signal. Designing high-performance temperature
measurement systems has great significance in many
practical applications for modern significance. In this paper,
as the background of compensation and applications of the
sensors temperature characteristics, a novel intelligent
temperature detecting system based on PIC16F877A and
DS18B20 [1]-[4] is designed and implemented. The system
uses single-bus digital temperature sensor DS18B20 as
mining temperature component produced by DALLAS,
PIC16F877A as the master processing chip. Also the data is
sent to PC by using RS-232 serial interface and display it
using the real time software LabVIEW.

V. CONCLUSION
Temperature is one of the important parameters in the
actual industrial processes, designing efficient temperature
measurement system has been the focus of the work. In this
paper, we have designed an intelligent temperature
measurement system using DS18B20 to work as a
standalone module. It should also be noted that the sensor is
the core device of temperature detection system, whose
performance parameters directly affects the accuracy of the
detected temperature. In this work, the accuracy of
DS18B20 based temperature monitoring system is compared
with other conventionally used temperature measuring
sensors like LM35, RTD and Thermocouple. The overall
response curve for the temperature is plotted and analyzed
using various measures. The Experimental result shows that,
the behavior of DS18B20 is almost equal to the
conventional sensors, especially with platinum based RTD
used in space applications which determines its scope and
utility. A remote monitoring system is also developed using
BeagleBone Black board and the data is transmitted to
another PC and mobile phone.
