Redes industriais utilizando módulos XBee e comunicação com dispositivos móveis

Abstract

This paper presents a proposal for a study on wireless electronic instrumentation, with the purpose of using this communication for the monitoring of sensors located in difficult access points. Was developed a solar-powered telemetry prototype to read process variables using a smartphone application for responses to these values, and a data logger for storing and further processing data. ZigBee communication protocol will be used, the prototype is consist of 2 Xbee modules from Digi company, a module responsible for reading the 4-20 mA signal of the instrument, one responsible for coordinating the ZigBee network and communicating with the smartphone. The application was developed for the Android platform and the data logger was based on the Arduino platform. Performing the implementation of this tool in industrial environment, in the monitoring of process variables. It was also analyze parameters such as availability, reach, security of the ZigBee network in an actual application.
