Abstract
This project aims to design a wireless temperature monitoring module, which is part of a low-power online monitoring system for high voltage circuit breaker. It measures the real-time temperature of the circuit breaker and transmits this data wirelessly to a host computer by using ZigBee technology.
This module is composed of one MSP430F149 development board and two CC2430 development boards. The MSP430F149 development board uses an onboard temperature sensor (DS18B20) to measure the real-time temperature. Furthermore, the temperature data is transmitted to the emitter (one of the CC2430 development boards) and is then emitted. After receiving the data, the receiver (the other CC2430 development board) transmits it to the host computer through serial communication.
This module has the advantages of simple configuration, high reliability, and widely applicable to different devices.
