IoT Based Condition Monitoring and Control of Induction Motor Using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

Induction motors, especially three-phase induction motors, are widely used in the industry due to their outstanding features compared to others. Remote drive inverters are one of the new areas for increasing the efficiency and reliability of motors. With the fast advancement of technology and the expansion of the internet network, the Internet of Things has become one of the main ways to communicate with different devices. The number of devices connected to the Internet has increased, especially in industrial environments that lead to better product control and monitoring. Sending system monitoring information with IoT allows processing, storage and monitoring. The use of IoT in the control and monitoring of electric motors leads to the formation of smart drives. The benefits of using IoT include reducing maintenance costs, increasing reliability, optimizing motor performance, and improving failure prediction accuracy. In this project Raspberry Pi board is used as processor and two current and voltage sensors for monitoring electrical features and controlling motor speed Also temperature sensor for detecting failures. The data is collected by the Raspberry Pi and sent to the server and then stored in the database and after processing, the necessary instructions are sent back to the Raspberry Pi.
