Design of Cultural Relics Protection Micro-environment Monitoring System Based on ZigBee Wireless Communication

Abstract

Because cultural relics have strict requirements on environmental indicators such as temperature, humidity, light and gas, environmental monitoring for museum cultural relics showcases has become a necessary means of cultural relic protection. This paper designs and implements a museum cultural relic microenvironment monitoring system based on ZigBee wireless communication network technology. The system is mainly composed of two parts: sensor monitoring terminal and upper-level data analysis and recording software. The sensor monitoring terminal uses CC2530 chip as the control core and can be configured as coordinator in the ZigBee network, which is responsible for the establishment and management of the ZigBee network. It can also be configured as a terminal in the ZigBee network. It can detect the micro-environment of the showcase with a variety of sensors supporting the I2C bus, and upload the test results to the coordinator in ZigBee network. The upper-level data analysis and recording software is written in C# language, which is mainly responsible for the management of devices in the ZigBee network and the acquisition of environmental parameters detected by the terminals in the ZigBee network. The test shows that the cultural relic protection micro-environment monitoring system has low power consumption, convenient networking and strong scalability, and can realize the detection of various environmental parameters, which can be well applied to the micro-environment monitoring of museum cultural relics showcases.
