Abstract

Aiming at online vibration test for the system in variational magnetic field, this paper designed a wireless data acquisition and transmission system based on the Zigbee. This system consists of Host PC, coordinator, repeater, and terminal. In terminal there are acquisition module, sensor, and flash memory. Zigbee is used for the communication of coordinator and repeater. CC2430 is used for the Zigbee hardware. The online testing system developed in this paper has been successfully applied in the vibration test of a catenary structure in variational magnetic field caused by instant current up to 200A. Field tests prove that the system can provide flexible networking and reliable data transmission with low power consumption.
