Remote monitoring system of pumping unit based on wireless sensor networks

Considering a series of problems including the oil wells are distributed dispersedly in oil field and the field data being not returned in time which resulting in the fault in oil production wells cannot be forecasted and dealt with timeliness, in this paper a remote monitoring system of pumping unit based on wireless sensor network (ZigBee) is proposed. This paper includes the hardware configuration of monitoring system, data acquisition realizing and data network establishing. The ZigBee wireless network has some advantages compared with other wireless networks, it has the characteristics of low power, low price and low put-off, so this remote monitoring system has good cost performance ratio.
