Design of Mine Ventilators Monitoring System Based on ZigBee

Abstract:

In the current mine ventilators monitoring system, there are some difficulties in the installation and maintenance because of the wired connection. To solve the problem, this paper introduces a new ventilators monitoring system based on ZigBee in which the monitoring parameters are transmitted wirelessly. The collecting devices are designed to form a cluster network to collect temperature, vibration, air pressure and other parameters of the mine ventilator. All these devices are battery-powered. Besides, the monitoring software in PC is developed using MFC. Experiments show that the designed wireless sensor network works well in the site environmental condition and the system is very convenient to install since the wireless connection. This monitoring system will have a wide application prospect in the upgrade of the old monitoring system of the ventilators.
