ZigBee based parameters monitoring system for induction motor

In this paper, a wireless monitoring system for three phase induction motor is realized using ZigBee protocol, where wired communication is either more expensive or impossible due to physical conditions and human hazards for safe and economic data communication in industrial fields. A low cost system for measuring the parameters of induction motor such as phase voltages, phase currents, active power, reactive power, motor temperature with ZigBee protocol connectivity is described in this paper. Moreover, a database is built to execute online monitoring and to save the motor parameters received by radio frequency (RF) data acquisition system. The aim of this paper is to monitor and acquire the remote electrical parameters like Voltages, Currents, Powers, Temperature, and send these real values over wireless network. To implement this, a ZigBee model is connected to a programmed digital signal controller which would transmit the data to ZigBee coordinator which is connected to a PC through RS232 serial communication. Experimental results show that the proposed system is less costly, provides higher accuracy as well as safe and gives visual environment.
