Design of a system for monitoring electrical parameters from a CFE central to an user.

Introduction

The idea is to implement a transceiver system that communicates remotely the information
of any connection of CFE to a master station (CFE) by a Yagi antenna acting as a transmitter
and a monopolar omnidirectional antenna as a receiver in the central.

A reference image is attached to schematize the system in a general way.

Scope

The scope of this project is to design, calculate and simulate in AIRLINK, a link between
transmission and reception nodes for the monitoring of electrical parameters.

Objective

Design and simulate a system that communicates remotely the information of any CFE
connection to a master station. There will be a simulation between ESIME Culhuacán and a
substation located in Taxqueña.
Development

An alarm signal will be transmitted, via a Yagi antenna, from ESIME Culhuacán to the
Taxqueña substation, where a point-to-point link will be established for the verification and
possible remote solution of an electrical fault in some area of the school. All this process is
simulated with the AIRLINK program.

The following is an image of the simulation.

Specifications:
The SD Transceiver is a software-configurable, industrial radio for use in licensed data
acquisition networks. It may be interfaced with a variety of data control equipment including
remote terminal units (RTUs), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), flow computers, and
similar devices. Data interface connections may be made for both serial (RS-232/RS-485)
and local Ethernet protocols.
The radio’s x710 Mode is designed primarily for use in serial polled networks where a central
station communicates with each remote, one at a time to convey data and control signals. For
models operating in this mode, the radio offers direct, drop-in compatibility with existing
x710 networks while providing additional functionality not found in MDS x710 radios. The
transceiver employs digital signal processing (DSP) technology and a fully digital transmit
and receive IF chain to provide robust communications even under adverse conditions.
Digital signal processing also helps eliminate the effects of component variations or
temperature swings, resulting in an optimized communications link at all times.
The radio system may replace a network of remote monitors currently linked to a central
location via leased telephone lines or other hardwired means. At the central office of such a
system, there is usually a dedicated computer and some means of switching between
individual lines coming from each remote monitor. In this type of system, there is a
modulator/demodulator (modem) at the main computer, and at each remote site, usually built
into the remote monitor itself. Since the cost of leasing a dedicated-pair phone line is quite
high, wireless technology is often used as a desirable alternative.

Point-to-Point System
Where permitted, the transceiver may also be used in a point-to-point arrangement. A point-
to-point system consists of just two radios—one serving as a master and the other as a remote
(see Figure 5). It provides a simplex or half-duplex communications link for the transfer of
data between two locations.
Conclusions

According to the simulation, this project is viable as long as the two antennas have a height
of at least 20 to 30 meters, and hoping that no real estate will be built between them, which
will interrupt their communication.
