IoT Based Health Monitoring System for Electrical Motors

Health monitoring is considered for the maintenance of the various industrial systems. The machine condition monitoring is necessary to predict any functional abnormality and to timely perform the necessary maintenance activities. In this paper, internet of things (IoT) based system is designed for the electrical motor. The electrical motor health is monitored by measuring the parameters such as vibration, current and temperature. It can be measured through the sensors, like accelerometer, current sensor and thermocouple. The signals of these sensors are sent to the webserver through Wi-Fi module where it can be accessible to the receiver in any part of the globe where the internet is available. To avoid the limitation of the internet, the signals of these sensors were also sent to the receiver through global system for mobile (GSM) because it can also work in the areas where the internet is not available. The sensors are attached to the microcontroller and the microcontroller is programmed to get the required results. The signals coming from the sensor were also analyzed through DAQ card. These signals are monitored and are used to identify the fault in the electric motor.
