A Wireless Process Monitoring And Control System With Zigbee
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Recently wireless technology is getting popularity day by day in IT sector. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) provides reduced cost, better power management, easy controls, high reliability and safety in industrial process monitoring and control. There are different WSN protocols available for industrial process monitoring and control: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GSM/GPRS, and ZigBee etc. According to IEEE standards ZigBee is mainly designed for industrial purposes with amazing mesh networking. It is also simpler and less expensive than Bluetooth, GSM/GPRS and Wi-Fi. In this work a prototype model of an industrial process monitoring and control system scheme is modeled by integrating ZigBee. In industry all process are monitored and controlled from a control room nearby the system. By using ZigBee protocol one can easily control more than 64,000 processes wirelessly within a distance of 1 mile. In this work a prototype model was designed where the speed and voltage of a DC series motor were monitored and controlled. Two ZigBee modules have been used, where the router module is connected with a DC motor in the machine lab and the coordinator module is interfaced with a PC. The voltage (0-20 volts) and speed (0-2500 rpm) of the DC motor were controlled with a PC from the control room which is almost 30m away from the system. There were few concrete walls (about 30 inch thick) between them. The results attributed that ZigBee protocol is feasible than the other conventional process monitoring and control system.
