Combustible gas monitoring based on ZigBee and network building techniques

Abstract

Most of traditional gas monitoring uses wired or handled devices to transmit signals, while the complicated wiring causes great inconvenience for power supply, signal transmission, management and maintenance. To overcome these shortcomings, the paper gives a wireless combustible gas monitoring solution based on ZigBee technique using CC2530 chip which made by TI (Texas Instruments) [1] as the master chip, in which the ZigBee condense protocol is analyzed, network building solution is given, the software for application layer and driver are designed, and the real-time monitoring of combustible gas and selfish network building of sensor nodes are completed. The study results demonstrate that the parameters such as combustible gas concentration, micro-seismic signal under the case of harsh environment can be collected.
