An Application of Wireless Standards for Remote Monitoring of Electric Drive Systems

Abstract

Abstract––This paper discusses an implementation of wireless standards for remote monitoring of electric drives. An appropriate wireless system has been developed and described. It uses ZigBee standard for remote data transmission combined with Internet connectivity for assessment of the Global network-collected information. The designed measuring devices and the respective sensors are also presented. Algorithms have been developed allowing evaluation of additional parameters using data from the measurements held. Detailed experimental studies confirm the good performance of this monitoring system. The research carried out as well as the results obtained can be used in design and set up of such types of wireless monitoring systems.
