An Application of ZigBee for Machine Health Monitoring

Niteen Deshmukh, Pravin N.Matte

A wireless measurement and monitoring system for an electric drive system is realized using the ZigBee communication wireless standard for safe and economic data communication in industrial fields where the wired communication is either more expensive or impossible due to physical conditions. It is also possible to protect of the electric drive system against some faults such as over current, over voltage, higher temperature in windings, more load on motor. Therefore, controlling, monitoring, and protection of the system are realized in real time and it uses ZigBee wireless standard for remote data transmission along with Internet connectivity for assessment of the network-collected information. Therefore, the measuring devices and their respective sensors are studied accordingly. Algorithms have been developed allowing evaluation of additional parameters using data from the measurements held.
