Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are considered as one of the most promising modern technologies in the field of wireless communication for embedded systems, where WSNs support a large number of applications in many fields. There are many standard WSN communication protocols, for example: WiFi, Bluetooth, WiMax, wireless HART, ZigBee, etc. In this paper, we are studying the possibility of designing and researching WSN based on the IEEE802.15.4 / ZigBee protocol for monitoring the state of production equipment (3D printer) in a small industrial workshop. A model of a sensor network in OMNeT++ environment with various work scenarios is presented. To assess the efficiency of the constructed network, we analyze the obtained results of energy consumption and packet loss.
