Design of laboratory monitoring system based on IEEE 802.15.4

In order to facilitate the management of laboratory equipments, reduce wiring and maintenance cost, and timely get the operation information of laboratory equipment energy, a scheme for laboratory monitoring system is proposed based on IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol. CC2530-based wireless networking system is designed, which can achieve better performance in aspects of low power, high reliability under the constraint of low-rate demand. The circuit diagrams for on-off control, PLC wireless communication and electrical energy management are designed. The reliable communication between experiment devices and host-computer is realized by the design of star network formation. The better control performance is achieved in the practical application and the proposed scheme is significative for the further applications of IEEE 802.15.4 standard in industrial fields.
