Abstract:

       We designed a CAN bus based real-time mine ventilation monitoring system for monitoring the status of mine ventilation. We presented the design of monitoring node of CAN bus, PCI-CAN smart adapter card and its software. It communicates with a host monitoring computer by CAN bus and performs real-time monitoring for temperature and wind velocity of large number of nodes. It has such positives as longer transmission distance, more monitoring nodes, better real-time characteristic and higher reliability, as compared with other traditional mine ventilation monitoring system.

Key words: mine ventilation monitoring system, CAN bus, PCI-CAN smart adapter card
