Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop and test a real-time monitoring and controlling system for grain storage. Because ZigBee/IEEE802.15.4 indicates a network system which is highly reliable, cost-effective, low power consumption, programmable and fast establishing, we use ZigBee technology into this system for industry and research applications. The system developed in this application includes a host computer and a data management and control system based on LabWindows/CVI, a ZigBee sensor network. In addition to describing the system architecture, hardware and software, the paper also reports on the performance of the transmission distance of ZigBee wireless node in grain and the node lifetime estimation.
