Design scheme of street lamp wireless control system based on PLC and ZigBee

With the development of China's economic construction, the development and utilization of energy resources have also become increasingly tense. Since March, the "electricity shortage" phenomenon has occurred in many places in China during the off-season, and the low efficiency of electric energy utilization is one of the important causes of the "electricity shortage". With the continuous development of urban road network construction, the number of street lamps has increased, making people more and more demanding on energy saving and management of street lamps. The use of advanced technology to save energy and improve the level of automatic control and management of street lamps has become an urgent task for the construction of urban lighting systems.

1 Current status of street lighting management

1) The lighting equipment has poor uniformity and low level of intelligence. It does not have the ability to modify the switching time remotely and cannot modify the switching time according to the actual situation. It is a waste of energy and increases financial burden;

2) Scattered street light equipment, less management personnel, difficult management, unable to monitor equipment operation status in real time, accurately and comprehensively, and lack of flexible control methods; 3) Manual inspection has large workload, low efficiency, high cost, and wastes manpower and material resources , Financial resources, lack of effective fault early warning mechanism.

2 Introduction to ZigBee

ZigBee is an emerging short-range, low complexity, low power consumption, low transmission rate, low cost two-way wireless networking communication technology. It is a technology between RFID (Radio Frequency IdenTIficaTIon, Radio Frequency Identification) and Bluetooth.

3 Introduction to GPRS

GPRS general packet radio service is a new bearer service, which provides an efficient and low-cost wireless packet data service, especially suitable for intermittent, sudden and frequent data transmission. GRPS is always online and has fast access speed. Users can keep connected to the wireless network at any time, which can greatly improve the efficiency of remote data collection.

4 PLC Introduction

PLC is a programmable controller. It is an automatic control device with command memory, digital or analog input / output interface, which can complete logic, sequence, timing, and other functions. It is used to control machines or production processes. PLC has the characteristics of strong versatility, easy to use, wide adaptability, high reliability, strong anti-interference ability and simple programming.

5 System working principle

Use the configuration software as the control platform of the host computer, and communicate with the field controller PLC through GPRS. The monitoring center software sends action instructions to each field controller through the GPRS network, so that the field controller can complete various configuration and data collection work, and analyze and process the data sent by the field controller. The field controller receives the signal sent by the single lamp controller through the ZigBee wireless communication device, analyzes it and sends information to the monitoring center through the GPRS communication system, so as to realize the remote wireless control of the street lamp, as shown in FIG.

6 System components

The system consists of 3 parts: on-site controller, single-lamp controller, and monitoring center.

6.1 Field controller

It is composed of PLC independent control module, GPRS communication module, ZigBee wireless communication module, etc. It completes functions such as data acquisition, control output, data communication, and fault alarm. The field controller is connected to the lighting management and monitoring center server through GPRS, and is connected to the single lamp controller through the ZigBee wireless communication module, so as to realize real-time communication, as shown in FIG.

6.2 Single lamp controller

Each street lamp is equipped with a single lamp controller, which is composed of a ZigBee wireless communication module and a single-chip module that completes the power collection and module remote signaling functions. The ZigBee wireless module has a mesh topology, so the ZigBee subnet has a built-in redundancy guarantee. If a node in the network is disconnected from the network, it will not work: [More details]

When do you need a POS system?

If you want to accept credit and debit card payments and have a streamlined system for tracking sales, it`s probably a good idea to invest in a Window Pos System built for small business. Even very small small businesses benefit from a good Window Pos System.

 

Unless you have a solid system for recording each sale electronically, it`s hard to have an accurate understanding of what you`re selling. Basically, the more data you have about your business, the better able you are to make informed decisions. Plus, having a small business Window Pos System helps your business appear more legitimate, which is especially important if you`re just starting out.
