Abstract

In this paper, a distributed system for the real-time tracking of the health of the power tower was designed. If the force is more than the setting value, a timely alarm will be produced and be transmitted to the remote control center through the network. The advanced technology of wireless sensor network is utilized in the system. The sensor nodes can form the multi-hop and self-organizing network system via the means of wireless communication and be able to perceive in collaboration and collect and deal with the information of power tower. In this paper, the hardware structure of the node of wireless sensor network was designed and the development environment and the development language of the wireless sensor network were introduced.
