Wireless Control of AC Motor using Mesh Network Standard

Abstract

Nowadays it’s very common to use automation in industries. Ac motors are the nerve of many industries. Hence, the automation is much needed for accuracy and reliable operation. This project proposes a system on wireless control and monitoring different parameters of induction motors based on zigbee technology. Due to this, there will be safe data transfer communication in industrial field where the other mode of data transfer communication is more expensive than zigbee or impossible due to some physical conditions. On this design, there will be a set of transducer and sensor monitors the parameters of Induction motor and transmit its data through zigbee. An Arduino based system is used for collecting and storing data and accordingly generating control signal to stop or start the AC machine wireless through computer interface developed with Zigbee. This Techniques has different sensors to monitor and measure different parameters of induction motor and the data is transmitted to control room i.e., drive using zigbee wireless protocol. The overall control like starting and stopping of motor can be done with zigbee that is already interfaced with computer. It also protects motor against some faults such as over current, over heating in winding, under lover voltage, data acquisition system saves all received parameters data of motor in the database.
