Distributed Loom Running Monitoring System Based on ZigBee Technology

Aiming at the requirement of real-time monitoring of looms and limitations of subsistent monitor systems, a new monitor system based on ZigBee technology for looms was proposed, and then put forward its network structure. The CC2430 chip based on ZigBee technology from TI Company was applied to node controllers which function as data collection and transmission, management of monitoring network, fault alarm and so on. Then the article devised the circuit schematic for performance data collection, network monitoring node. At the same time pictured the program procedure of master node and data collection node, network protocol and structure of data frame. The result shows that the system has the following characteristics: stable and reliable, anti-jamming, low-power, small-size and low-cost, so this means it can provide the monitoring of looms in textile production with a new technology.
