In this paper LPC1766 microcontroller based network capable application processor (NCAP) system, is described. This system is intended to be used in modern distributed control and monitoring systems for application in power plants and industry, as well as in modern electricity distribution networks. In order to do that it is necessary to analyze different aspects of the system, like signal processing part or communication requirements. The chosen microcontroller has enough resources to satisfy requirements of an transducer interface module (TIM). Beside the realization of NCAp and TIM controllers it is necessary to develop the necessary measurement modules, in order to realize measurement-control systems. The developed layout could be connected to actuators to the local area network (LAN), as well. If the local LAN is connected to the internet it is possible to monitor and configure measurement modules form the remote site. Having in mind the growing complexity in control systems, it has been a real challenge to detect a diagnose problems in today's large scale distributed systems. Implementation of the proposed module could potentially reduce the time necessary to extract necessary information from the abundant quantity of information that are usually provided by the complex distributed systems.
