Design of the Measurement Node of the Grain Quantity Monitoring System Based on the CAN-bus

Abstract

To need the requirement of measuring the grain quantity in the barn, the pressure sensors are mounted on the ground and the wall of the barn, and the grain quantity can be calculated by using these measurement values. To realize the data transmitting reliability and real time, the design proposal of the measurement node of the CAN-bus by using the chips of AT89C51 and the SJA1000 is put forward, and the design of software and the hardware of the node is given. To verify the effectivity and the reliability of the measurement node, some experiments are done, the results shown that, the measurement error is no more than 3% under the conspicuous level is equal to 0.05, the grain quantity can be measure by this system completely.
