Abstract:
This article presents the development of a data acquisition system that uses a hybrid communication network based on long-range (LoRa) modules. This system aims to provide the gathered information over long distances. The proposed hybrid structure minimizes the costs involved in using LoRa transmitters, deploying a wired network to interconnect the sensors and actuators in the vicinity of the transmission point. This structure is compatible with the main existing industrial communication protocols, which facilitates the connection with preinstalled networks. A hydraulic plant was used to test the system having its instrumentation as a form to optimize the water distribution system (WDS) monitoring, where a mean of measurement error of 0.78% was obtained. Moreover, the performance of LoRa modules was evaluated in terms of the quality of data transmission over long distances. A noise analysis was also conducted to evaluate the influence caused on industrial sensors and the interference generated by elements in the environments that affect the considered system. The results demonstrate the viability of the proposed solution for remote and local monitoring of WDSs.
