Design of Intelligent Windows Based on Power Line Carrier and GPRS Communication Technology

Abstract

Aiming at the problem of traditional windows need manual operation, intelligent windows system based on power line carrier (PLC) and GPRS wireless communication technology was designed. The system used PLC technology realize the establishment of the internal network; Used varieties of sensors as peripheral detection devices and data acquisition equipment, transmitted collected data to central controller through the power line; Used ARM9 embedded processor S3C2440A as center controller; Used GTM900C module as interface between internal network and external network, passed data and forwarded control commands. Terminal PC used LabVIEW graphical programming language, it could receive GPRS signal coming from Internet according to the fixed IP address and port number, and sent monitoring commands to the fixed IP address. This paper listed out hardware block diagram and software implementation process. The design concept can spread to other intelligent households. The experimental results suggest that the intelligent windows have implemented smart windproof, rainproof, anti-theft, fire prevention and prevent gas poisoning. It provided a good solution for the design of smart home.
