A Remote Monitoring System of IDC Room Based on ZigBee Wireless Sensor Networks

摘要

This paper introduces an intelligent remote monitor system based on ZigBee sensor networks for IDC (Internet Data Center) room. The system consists of two parts: three types of ZigBee modules and the server module. The three types of ZigBee modules contain First-Cluster node, Second-Cluster node and sensor end-node. The system can control remote IDC room based on the connection of the ZigBee protocols and traditional Internet networks. The data collected by the sensor end-nodes in the IDC room are transmitted through ZigBee networks to the server that can communicate with the remote monitor PC with Internet connection. The functions the system implements include data collection, analysis, management, storage, automatic alarm, display and control. By monitoring the IDC room unmanned, the proposed system reduces the energy consumption and the number of management staff, at the same time, provides reliable and robust monitoring, then control the equipments in real-time. Consequently, it ensures the safety and stable operation for the IDC room.
