Abstract :
The purpose of this work is to determine the applicability of the ZigBee technology to electric motor rotor measurements. Requirements for data transmission, electrical structure and powering of a sensor are discussed. A prototype wireless ZigBee-based torque sensor is built and tested. The results of the tests are analyzed
