A Novel Network-Accessible and Localizable Power Monitor

Dynamic tracking and nondestructive status monitoring of costly asset still are issues in traditional manual asset management, and there is no feasible solution to solve. In this paper, a novel network-accessible and localizable power monitor is designed to solve these issues. Firstly, the hardware framework design of monitor is discussed. Secondly, micro-control unit, power supply voltage regulator circuit, power metering module, WiFi module and LoRa module are addressed in detail. Finally, according to whether the asset equipment is connected to alternating current or not, software flow is divided into two algorithms to realize the dynamic tracking and status monitoring.
