Design of gas monitoring system based on embedded ZigBee module

Abstract

In order to solve the problems of traditional mine gas monitoring system, a design proposal based on wireless sensor network technology is put forward, which takes ARM as control core. The gas concentration data is collected by underground wireless sensor node, and converge on a central node by ZigBee network. At last, the data is sent to the monitoring center. Then the monitoring center analyzes and processes data received and send corresponding instructions to sensor network according to the results of data processing. On the basis of the above steps, real-time monitoring of mine gas concentration is achieved in this system. This system overcomes the shortcomings of the traditional mine gas monitoring methods, which has some merits such as flexible networks, low cost and strong reliability etc. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
