A Sensor Integrated Solid-State Switch for Capacitor-Start Single-Phase Induction Motors in an IoT Ecosystem

    Abstract

    Induction motors are crucial to various industrial manufacturing processes and domestic applications. Monitoring of motor parameters such as speed is critical for smart control, failure diagnosis and fault prognosis. A module developed using NodeMCU, relays and microcontroller 8051 forms the proposed centralised control system (CCS). This control system can monitor and maintain a network of induction motors in an extensive industrial setup. CCS operates using data-transfer between smartphones, monitoring centres, and motors via IoT (Internet-of-Things). Failure of the centrifugal switch is one reason for the faults occurring in the single-phase induction motors. The centrifugal switch is replaced by a TRIAC, which is triggered through the feedback from the speed sensor; thereby helping to detect and avoid faults. This setup can also provide a spark-free start for the connected machine leading to a safe operating environment. This proposal provides a practical framework for Industry 4.0 applications that employ single-phase induction motors, allowing for industrial-scale smart manufacturing.
