Efficient Induction Motor Speed Control using ZigBee Wireless Technology

Induction motor speed control plays a significant in
industrial applications. The introduction of
technologies, likeVFDsand PLCs has greatly
enhanced the performance of industrial processes.
However, as technology continues to advance,
industries face the challenge of efficiently monitoring
and controlling induction motors without incurring
significant costs to upgrade their existing systems.
This paper focuses on addressing this challenge by
proposing a cost-effective solution for real-time
monitoring and control of induction motors. The
proposed approach utilizes a wireless module
(ZigBee) to establish a connection between a remote
SCADA system and the induction motor. This allows
for convenient monitoring of motor performance even
while on the move, using mobile phones.
Furthermore, the solution can be easily implemented
in industries of any scale and with any type of PLC,
as PLCs offer advantages over peripheral interface
controllers (PICs) due to their fewer limitations
