Distributed monitoring system of loom running based on ZigBee technology

Aiming at the requirement of real-time monitoring of looms′running,the paper puts forward the distributed monitoring system of loom based on ZigBee technology and related network structure.It selects the CC2430 chip based on ZigBee technology from TI company as node controller for system data collection and transmission,monitoring of network management,hitch alarm and so on.A circuit schematic is designed for performance data collecting,network master node monitoring and hitch alarming and displaying of looms.The procedure flow and network communications data formats of master node and data collection node are presented also.The results show that the system is characterized by stable and reliable,anti-jamming,low energy consumption,compact and low-cost,providing a new technology for monitoring the running of looms in textile enterprises.
