Kontrol Kecepatan Fan dan Monitoring Online Suhu pada Rak Server Politeknik Negeri Batam

Abstract

The temperature on a rack server becomes very important to know and guarded condition that the computer used as a server to function properly. If a computer is the maximum temperature the process will stop working or stalled processes. Meanwhile, the computer designated as the server is required to stay alive for a long time, and therefore needed a tool to control the temperature on a normal computer Using an Arduino microcontroller, sensor DS18B20 as temperature detector and Fan with Infrared Sensor and Photodiode Sensor, the state of a server rack will be able to read the temperature and then the temperature is controlled using PID control for became normal temperature with the fan rotation. Then the temperature and fan speeds of data can also be accessed online on a website for the purpose of monitoring the temperature conditions in rack servers and offline at the interface created with Visual Basic.NET. The data from the microcontroller will be stored on the database server utilizing Visual Basic.NET as a communications intermediary microcontroller to the computer and make the computer as a server connected to the internet and send data to a php file on the Web server (TerimaData.php). Results from this final project is a tool that serves to control the temperature and can be monitored via the internet or offline manner, namely by looking interface that has been created using VB.NET and can also store temperature data in a certain time on the Database server.
