Abstract:In order to monitor power of every electro-equipment more exact, a power monitoring system based on embeded operating system is designed. The wireless communitaion protol 6LoWPAN is used in this system. This power monitoring system consists of ending node, routing node, inserting node, GPRS node and information management center. In this paper, the hardware design method of ending node and inserting node is introduced based on sensor TV3154 , sensor TA5212, power monitoring chip ADE7953, MCU MSP430F1611 and CC2420. The software design method of ending node and inserting node is proposed based on 6LoWPAN, I2C and UART. The experiment result shows that the error of voltage, current and power are all less than 2%. The power monitoring system could succefully build wireless network and the wireless communication distance is 80 m.
