What Kind of microcontroller is needed for alarm system with PIR sensors

[xellos11]

Hi ! I'm student at Technical University Varna ,  Bulgaria . I'm interessted to create my own alarm system with Labview, but I'm not sure what kind of controller i need and what kind of PIR sensors.                  Thank You

Hi xellos,

I'm not sure what you need, but if my feelings is right, than what you  want to do is sort of motion detector based on PIR sensor and some ucontroller. It this is what you need, than once again, such a question is rather suitable for other discussion forums, like LabVIEW Embedded.

However, in general you can go for ARM or Blackfin when thinking about embedded platform. See following links to get more ingormation on ARM and Blackfin with LabVIEW:

NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for ARM Microcontrollers 

NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for ADI Blackfin Processors Development Kit 

With choosing sensor, I suggest simple googling - with relativly little effort you can find many sensors. And you can pick on specification and requirements you have (just to note, National Instruments is not producing and usualy not selling sensors).

Regards,

Stefo

I have USB 6501 Digital I/O Device and a LC 100PI PIR Motion Detector and i wanna connect them to take data from the sensor and use it in Labview the Digital Device  has lower input voltage and i'm worried about that because the output voltage of the sensor is higher

The Sensor Specifications are :

Detection Method : Quad(Four Element) PIR

Power Input : 9.6 - 16 VDC

Current Draw : Standby 8mA Active 10mA

Compensation YES

Alarm Period 2sec

Alarm Output N.C 28VDC 0.1A with 27Ohm series protection resistor

Tamper Switch N.C 28VDC with 10Ohm series protection resistor

Warm Up period 60sec

RFI Protection 30V/m 10-1000MHz

Thank You All for the Help !
