Abstract:
In order to monitor dust in a city or on a large plant, we have designed a distributed network of nodes, which consists of smart sensors that detect dust. Such a network design must be scalable, to allow additional nodes to be added at any time. Each node should operate as a Plug-and-Play device, in order to provide minimal downtime for the network. With the help of microcontrollers embedded in each node it is possible for each sensor to upload measurement results directly to a server within the network. In order to keep a high compatibility of the sensor network and the associated network protocol requirements, an IEEE 1451 standard should be used, to provide a generic interface between a sensor and the outer network, regardless the network protocols. We have obtained new practical results, which we show as comparison between different dust measurement methods.
